This lease could mean 30 years of peace of mind, or 30 years of legal dispute nightmare.

Nevertheless, you might want to contact a tenant legal aid lawyer to see if they have any ideas on how to negotiate with your landlord to get to a reasonable resolution.

Was not a newbie landlord in general, but a newbie OOS landlord:Trusting a supposedly-vetted PM/turnkey provider to follow the minimum tenant-acceptance standards they claimed to their buyers/owners they follow was my mistake.Result: two defaulted tenants in less than a 12-month period (one eviction, the other painfully made it to the end of their lease - with personal guarantee of payment to me by the PM, after a dispute.)There was a 3-4 month’s vacancy between the two tenants.

If there is a dispute over non-performance or quality of work which results in non-payment, there is a deadline for recording the lien.

Between the deposits, the dispute resolving, the he said/she said game, and the move-out accountability, I much prefer using a solid lease, with tenants who know each other, for a year at a time. 

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

If you have a dispute with a contractor and you feel they are exceeding the scope of your agreement with unreasonable demands not envisioned in the contracting agreement, contact local counsel. 

I am writing to file a dispute for this charge for reason: R10 as an “Incomplete Transaction.”

We ended the call with no resolution. 

Can property valuations (used for tax purposes) be disputed in Cleveland (or whatever market), and how does the process work?
