Handling A Wide Variety Of Matters

No “Self-Help”

by | Feb 19, 2025 | Firm News

If you are a commercial or residential landlord, never undertake “self-help” remedies to remove your tenant.  These wrongful acts include changing locks, taking off doors, threatening the tenant, or stopping utility service if you are paying for it under the lease.  You can end up owing the tenant damages even if the tenant is behind in the rent.  We have recovered significant money against landlords who behaved this way.  Instead, do what the law requires, consult with an attorney, and file for eviction.  Take the correct, legal steps in the process and you will be far better off.  Follow the law.
