Disputes in Rental Units
Landlords & TenantsResidential or Commercial, we represent both sides on a variety of issues.
LANDLORDS
Protect your property and enforce your lease the right way.
As a landlord, your property is both an investment and a responsibility. When a tenant violates a lease, withholds rent, or damages your property, it’s important to take action, but it must be done correctly under Texas law.
Why hiring an attorney matters:
Landlord–tenant law is strict about timing, notice, and documentation. One missed step can delay an eviction or even put you at legal risk. Having an experienced attorney on your side ensures every move you make complies with state law, and protects your financial interests.
We handle communication with tenants and their attorneys, prepare and file proper notices, and help resolve disputes as efficiently as possible. While every case involves communication and waiting periods, our team keeps your matter organized and moving forward at every step.
Common Issues Landlords Experience:
- Brand new to rental properties and not sure where to start.
- Tenants who don’t pay or default on rent, damage the property, or violate HOA rules.
- Tenants who constantly complain without documentation.
How we could help:
- You recently purchased a rental property and need help drafting a lease and relevant documents.
- Handling lease terminations and evictions.
- Responding to tenant complaints and legal notices.
TENANTS
Understand your rights and protect yourself from unfair treatment.
If you’re renting a home or apartment and your landlord isn’t honoring the lease, withholding your deposit, or trying to evict you unfairly, you have legal rights, and you don’t have to face the situation alone.
Why hiring an attorney matters:
Landlords often have legal counsel and experience navigating the system. Having your own attorney levels the playing field. We’ll review your lease, explain your options in plain language, and guide you through the next steps — whether that means negotiating, responding to a notice, or preparing for court.
Every case requires coordination with the landlord or their attorney, and sometimes the court. Our role is to communicate clearly, protect your rights, and pursue the best possible outcome for your situation.
Common Issues Tenants Experience:
- You submitted a maintenance request and it has not been addressed.
- You moved out and did not receive your security deposit back.
- Someone purchased the home you’re currently renting and you’re unsure how to navigate your lease or what to negotiate with the new owners.
- There was an apartment fire, that was not your fault, and you want to recover your personal belongings.
- There’s mold in your apartment, not caused by you, and you want to terminate your lease.
- You were wrongfully evicted and have documentation proving it.
- You received an eviction notice and now have a court date.
How we could help:
- Dispute unresolved repairs or unsafe living conditions.
- Negotiate a lease termination, depending on the circumstances.
- Attempt to recover your security deposit or rent payments.
- Responding to legal and/or eviction notices or negotiate on your behalf.
- Aid in wrongful eviction cases.
