Representing Commercial Landlords in Disputes With Tenants
Like most parts of the country, Hudson Valley commercial landlords are faced with a challenging real estate market. In times of economic trouble, it is vital to protect your investment against tenants who refuse to abide by the terms of a lease. At Blustein, Shapiro, Rich & Barone, our lawyers represent commercial landlords in landlord-tenant disputes from our office in Goshen, New York.
Helping Commercial Landlords Dealing With Tenant Disputes
The landlord-tenant law attorneys of Blustein, Shapiro, Rich & Barone, LLP represent commercial landlords in landlord-tenant disputes. As one of the premier law firms in the region, we are able to assist you with even the most intricate disputes.
A summary holdover proceeding is one of the tools available to evict a tenant who violated a term of the lease, remained in possession after the expiration of a lease or refused to pay rent. This civil proceeding is a quick way to remove a tenant from your rental property — trial usually occurs within five to 12 days after filing the court petition. We regularly represent several large apartment complexes with over 2,000 rentals.
Tenants who claim that landlords have falsely accused them of violating the terms of a lease can petition the court to obtain a Yellowstone injunction. These injunctions prohibit tenants from being evicted and allow them to have time to cure the default. Our attorneys will work with landlords and property managers to counter any defenses made by tenants and to secure a final resolution of the matter — including obtaining an eviction and monetary judgment.
Obtaining Monetary Judgment for Damages and Unpaid Rent
When tenants fail to pay rent, our lawyers will draft rent demand letters and seek court judgments. While it is often beneficial to evict tenants who violate a lease, it is equally important to collect unpaid rent from them. As one of the preeminent law firms in the Hudson Valley, we are able to employ a wide range of tactics to collect debt from tenants who refuse to pay. This includes obtaining a court judgment to collect rent and filing a bank restraint subpoenas and income executions.
When a tenant fails to abide by the terms of a lease, the only option that may work is hiring a lawyer to assert your rights. To schedule an appointment with an accomplished landlord-tenant attorney, call 845-477-5735 or e-mail Blustein, Shapiro, Rich & Barone, LLP.
