Landlord/Tenant Law

Landlord/Tenant Law is the field of law that governs over the landlord-tenant relationship and protects the rights of both the Landlord and Tenant respectively. This area of law covers a wide variety of subjects from rental agreements, evictions, and the breach of various covenants such as the covenant of habitability and the covenant of quiet enjoyment.  Unfortunately, the rights of both Landlords and Tenants are constantly violated here in the Commonwealth, and often these violations go without remedy because the individuals do not fully understand the law and it's protections.  Whenever any Landlord/Tenant dispute arises, it is essential that the person contact a qualified attorney in order to receive sound counsel and explanations regarding the law, the individual's rights, and possible solutions to the specific dispute.  Equally important is trying to avoid these situations by having sound legal advice when preparing to enter into a Landlord-Tenant Relationship.
