Tenancy

Roseland, New Jersey, Landlord-Tenant Attorney

Whether you live in or own an apartment building, lease a commercial office complex or have bought a multifamily home that you intend to rent, the most significant aspect of leasing or renting is the relationship between the landlord and tenant. When one of the parties in this relationship fails to uphold his or her end of an agreement, disputes arise — disagreements that often end up in court.

At the office of A. Bret Steig, Attorney at Law, located in Roseland, New Jersey, I represent both landlords and tenants. As a member of this community and lawyer who has focused his practice in the area of real estate law, I have a deep understanding of the local and legal complexities involved in tenancy issues. Contact me today to find out how I can help you.

Landlord-Tenant Issues

Many contentious issues may arise out of commercial leases, apartment rentals or multifamily housing. Some involve liability on the part of the tenant and others on the part of the landlord. Perhaps what started out as a late rental payment has now become a chronic behavior. Maybe an apartment unit has become uninhabitable over time due to a landlord's failure to maintain it. Landlords often complain of:

  • Failure to pay rent
  • Rowdy Behavior
  • Cleanliness issues
  • Habitual Late Payment of Rent
  • Other Breaches of Lease

Tenants often complain of:

  • Rental of an Illegal Apartment
  • Failure to maintain the apartment or common areas
  • Large Increases to Rent
  • Infestation
