Tenants may have questions regarding a landlord’s unwillingness to timely respond to repair requests or what to do if the landlord changes their locks.

Whether your issue deals with an eviction, a lease renewal, or any other tenant-related issue, our knowledgeable team of attorneys can help.

Landlords often come to us with questions such as: “Can I change the locks if my tenant does not pay the rent?
