AS A LANDLORD DO I NEED A LAWYER?
I am often asked “As a landlord do I need a lawyer”? The simple answer is, if you want to decrease your risk and liability, then yes! When renting your house to tenants, there is always the potential that you could be held liable when things are not handled properly. You will want a legal professional to either write or go over your lease agreement, to reduce your risk. However, there is still the possibility someone may try to take you to court, and even a situation where you may need to take a tenant to court. Such a situation will take time and money to resolve, then, depending on the outcome, it could cost you even more money. At Kasteel Property Management, we have a lease agreement written and updated by an attorney that specializes in landlord-tenant law. We also have a built-in attorney retainer program that already covers the potential cost of an eviction and legal advice needed for landlord-tenant issues.
