Landlord/Tenant Matters

​

Most people will be involved with the rental of real estate, either as a landlord or a tenant.  We advise both landlords and tenants in all real estate matters, and when necessary, go to court for our client when a dispute arises.  We work hard so that a dispute between the landlord and tenant does not occur, however, sometimes it is inevitable and we will go to court and fight vehemently for our client.

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, the Law Offices of Michael D. Recchiuti will be there to assist you with all of your legal needs.  We will always keep you informed of your rights and we will make sure you are aware of all possible options should a legal dispute arises between you and the other party.  
We pride ourselves on the quality of work we do for our clients and the speed with which we get it done.  Our clients deserve the best when it comes to legal help and representation and we intend on giving it to them.  Contact us today to see how we can be of service to you. 

We advise landlords and tenants in the following areas: 

  • Leases - We negotiate lease and sublet agreements; consents to assign, alter, and use; and lease renewals.

  • Rent Review - We advise landlords of rent levels and rent reviews and often represent them in litigation.

  • Property Security - We advise landlords how to obtain possession. We assist tenants on making protective applications to safeguard their rights of occupation and compensation.

  • Evictions – This can happen when a tenant stops paying rent to the landlord or when the tenant violates some other term on the lease.  We sit down with both landlords and tenants to try to resolve the disputes between the two parties.

  • Ejectment – When a tenant does not have a lease to the property, the landlord can begin ejectment proceedings against the tenant.  We guide both landlords and tenants through every step of these proceedings.
Estate Administration & Probate

While it is painful when a loved one dies, it is still necessary to take time to make the necessary legal arrangements regarding the administration of their estate.  The Law Offices of Michael D. Recchiuti will help make that time easier by providing timely, efficient and cost effective estate administration.   We walk you through the probate process step by step, ensuring that all taxes and debts are paid in a timely manner, and that heirs recieve their inheritances quickly.
