Landlord-Tenant Services: Common Issues
Persistently Late Payment or Non-Payment of Rent
When a tenant is persistently late or has entirely defaulted on rental payments it can indeed cause a financial burden for the landlord. In such cases, it's important to address the issue promptly and professionally.
Landlord Own Use Eviction
Regaining possession of your property for personal use can be challenging, especially if the tenant doubts your good faith intentions. In such cases, it's important to ensure that you are following all legal procedures and documenting your intentions clearly.
Interference by Tenant
Interference with your lawful rights or that of other tenants is a serious matter that may require action to protect everyone's rights and ensure a peaceful living environment.
Damages Caused by Tenant
When dealing with disputes over undue damage caused by a tenant, it's important to first determine whether the damage is considered reasonable wear and tear or if it constitutes undue damage. It's important to handle disputes over damage caused by tenants carefully and according to the law to ensure a fair resolution for both parties involved.
Right of first refusal after Renovation
When it comes to the rights of tenants to return after renovations, it's essential to understand the regulations under the Act. By understanding the legal requirements and acting in accordance with them, one can ensure that you are fulfilling your obligations as a landlord while protecting the rights of your tenants
