Fulton County, Georgia, Landlord Tenant Lawyer
If you're a property owner, one of your main concerns is making sure your tenants pay their rent on time. You have the mortgage to pay, and you count on the rent to pay it. If you have a delinquent tenant, your ability to pay your mortgage may be in jeopardy. You can't afford to let this situation continue. We recommend that you speak to an experienced landlord-tenant attorney, as soon as possible. Contact The Muhammad Firm today to learn about your legal options.
You may have a problem with a tenant who does substantial damage to an apartment. If one of your tenants damages a unit, it affects the value of the entire property. In addition, you may have to absorb significant expenses to fix the damage.
What can you do? In many landlord-tenant disputes like these, you won't be able to remedy the situation unless and until you evict the offending tenant. However, the thought of litigating the dispute may conjure images of a lengthy and complicated eviction process that you would rather avoid.
Both landlords and tenants have issues where competent legal counsel can help. We've represented landlords in eviction proceedings, and we have obtained judgments for outstanding balances. We've also advised tenants involved in disputes over the fitness of their apartments.
If you're a tenant, your lease entitles you to an apartment that is in livable condition. If something happens to the rental unit, through the negligence of another, rendering it unlivable, the landlord is obligated to fix the damage. You may have the right to withhold all or part of the rent if the landlord fails to satisfy this duty. Attorney Kenneth Muhammad is an experienced landlord-tenant lawyer who has defended tenants in similar cases.
