Taking The Stress Out Of Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Landlord-tenant disputes can crop up in almost any rental situation. However friendly or tense a rental relationship may feel, it is ultimately a contractual relationship governed by both the terms of the lease and Pennsylvania law.
In both residential and commercial lease agreements, both the landlord and tenant have important rights and responsibilities. Interpreting and enforcing those rights and responsibilities can be challenging.
It never pays to handle disputes with a “fly by the seat of your pants” approach. You shouldn’t have to bear the additional stress of guessing how to resolve it.
