Assisting Landlords And Tenants With Legal Matters

Emotions and stress can run high during landlord-tenant issues, often resulting in legal action. It is understandable that both sides of these disputes have a deep investment in the rental property. A landlord may rely on the rental income to repay a loan, fix issues with the property or use it on other investments. A tenant has right of possession of this property as his or her home. Too much interference by a landlord may feel like a violation of privacy.

At the Law Offices of Keith Banks, we understand the complexities of landlord-tenant matters. We represent both parties with residential evictions and other matters, helping to obtain resolutions as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
