Common Types of Landlord/Tenant Disputes

Disputes between landlords and tenants may involve various issues, ranging from lease violations to concerns about illegal activity. Common types of disputes include:

• Non-payment of rent: A tenant's failure to pay rent on time can cause financial problems for a landlord, and non-payment or late payment of rent may affect a tenant's ability to continue using the property. This issue can escalate quickly, potentially leading landlords to pursue evictions. Our attorneys can assist in negotiating payment plans or pursuing legal action to recover payments owed while maintaining compliance with the applicable laws.
• Lease violations: A tenant may violate the terms of a lease in various ways, such as by subleasing without permission, causing property damage, or engaging in prohibited activities. We help landlords enforce the terms of their leases and take appropriate legal action to address violations, ensuring that their property is protected.
• Property maintenance and repairs: Disputes may arise over the responsibilities of landlords or tenants regarding work performed on a property. Tenants may claim that landlords have failed to maintain the property, while landlords may argue that tenants have caused damage. Our firm helps clarify maintenance obligations, ensuring that both parties uphold their responsibilities.
• Security deposit disputes: When a lease ends and a tenant moves out, disagreements may arise over the amount of the security deposit that will be returned to the tenant, or a landlord may pursue claims related to damages caused by the tenant. Our attorneys can help resolve these disputes by reviewing lease agreements, documenting damages, and ensuring that security deposit laws are followed.
• Noise and nuisance complaints: Landlords may face complaints about the activities of their tenants, including actions that disrupt the peace and affect others nearby. Our firm can work to resolve these disputes, helping landlords and tenants find amicable solutions that will maintain a positive environment.
• Evictions: Whether they occur due to non-payment of rent, lease violations, or other reasons, evictions must be handled legally and ethically. We guide landlords through the eviction process, ensuring that they comply with Wisconsin laws and other applicable regulations.
  

Legal Strategies for Resolving Disputes

Resolving legal disputes often requires a strategic approach, and different methods may be used depending on the specific circumstances of a case. At Mallery s.c., we advise our clients on the best options for addressing landlord/tenant issues, which may include:

• Negotiation: Many disputes can be resolved through direct discussions between the parties involved. Our attorneys facilitate these negotiations, helping our clients reach mutually acceptable agreements without the need for litigation.
• Mediation: This form of alternative dispute resolution can be an effective way to resolve issues without the need to use the legal system or go to court. During mediation, a neutral third party works to facilitate the negotiation of an agreement that will satisfy both parties. We can provide representation during mediation, advocating for our client's interests while seeking fair solutions.
• Litigation: When disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, a case may need to be handled through the courts. Our attorneys are experienced litigators who can represent clients in legal proceedings. We develop and present compelling cases backed by evidence to protect our clients' rights and interests.
