Real estate transactions can result in litigation between sellers, buyers, landlords, and tenants. One of the easiest ways to limit litigation with a renter is to have a well-drafted lease agreement that complies with all state and local laws in case there is a dispute. Local ordinances might require certain disclosures in a lease to the potential renter of the real estate. Residential and commercial real estate transactions should be reviewed by real estate in Chicago before they’re executed. Boundary lines that result in conflict in the future could cost thousands of dollars to defend against if the real estate transaction was not clear during transfer.
If you are a tenant, it’s also important to protect yourself against future litigation. Some individuals need to break or terminate their leases for a variety of reasons. Speaking with an attorney could save hundreds of dollars in a judgment against you for breaking a lease. Individuals that are living in defective or hazardous conditions may have options available to have the situation corrected by the landlord. Real estate law firms in Chicago offer free consultations for this type of situation to the tenant. If you’re being evicted as a commercial or residential tenant and are summoned to appear in court, speak with an attorney as quickly as possible.
Real estate attorneys can represent individuals in:
- Evictions
- Foreclosures
- Standard real estate closings
- Boundary disputes
- Liens
- Contract negotiations
- And many other real estate transactions or court filings.
Commercial real estate owners will often have to deal with zoning regulations for the business. In addition, homeowner associations and property management companies can face litigation in court or legal questions that need to be answered by an experienced real estate attorney.
