In my Alabama landlord/tenant and real property law practice, I work hard to resolve problems in a timely manner without having to resort to litigation, particularly when there is an ongoing landlord/tenant relationship that neither party prefers to terminate. When appropriate, I will also carefully review leases and recommend common-sense modifications which are compliant with applicable law and are designed to maximize my client's interests.
Landlord & Tenant Law and Litigation (Commercial/Shopping Center & Residential)
I provide advice and handle litigation relating to the following landlord-tenant matters:
- Bankruptcy issues relating to the acceptance or rejection of shopping center leases
- Breaches, defaults, contractual obligations,and disputes involving commercial/shopping center leases and residential/rental home leases
- Collection of back rent
- Constructive eviction and habitability
- Defending "barriers-to-access" claims under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
- Eviction and unlawful detainer actions
- Rights and remedies under the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord & Tenant Act
Real Property Law & Litigation
I provide advice and handle litigation involving many types of real property disputes, including the following:
- Boundary line disputes and adverse possession
- Breach, fraud, and misrepresentation arising from real estate transactions
- Condemnation, including private rights-of-way
- Disputes involving buyers, sellers, brokers, and real estate agents
- Disputes involving owners, builders, and developers
If you have a legal problem involving a landlord/tenant issue, a parcel of real property, or a real estate transaction, please contact me for an initial consultation at no charge.
