Why You Need a Real Estate Lawyer
Housing law can be complicated and often involves issues that require quick action. Legal disputes may involve lease agreements, evictions, property damage, or even discrimination. Most New England states, especially Massachusetts, have laws that can favor tenants unless properly managed. Without proper legal advice, you risk making decisions that could harm your case or your rights. Having a real estate attorney from New England Law Group by your side ensures that you receive the right advice and representation for your unique situation.
A housing attorney will help you understand your rights, negotiate settlements, and guide you through the legal process. Whether you are a tenant, landlord, or property owner, we will provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect your interests.
Types of Housing Law
Housing law covers many areas, and different issues may arise depending on whether you are a tenant or a landlord. The following are some common areas of housing law that our experienced attorneys handle:
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Landlord-tenant disputes are common and can arise from various issues such as unpaid rent, lease violations, or property maintenance. In these cases, it’s important to understand the legal rights and responsibilities of both parties. Whether you are a landlord trying to enforce lease terms or a tenant defending against eviction, legal assistance is crucial to avoid unnecessary complications.
At New England Law Group, our real estate lawyers handle disputes related to eviction proceedings, rent control, security deposits, repairs, and more. We will ensure that both tenants and landlords comply with local and state laws and that your rights are protected.
Evictions
Eviction is a common housing law issue. Landlords may seek eviction for non-payment of rent, lease violations, or other reasons. Tenants, on the other hand, may face eviction if they are being wrongfully forced out or if proper legal procedures are not followed.
Our real estate attorneys have extensive experience representing both tenants and landlords in eviction proceedings. Whether you’re defending against an unjust eviction or seeking to evict a tenant for legitimate reasons, we will provide clear guidance on the process and work to resolve the matter efficiently.
Rent Control and Rent Increases
Many areas have laws that limit how much rent can be increased or dictate how rental properties can be managed. If you are a tenant, you may have concerns about unfair rent increases or your landlord’s compliance with rent control laws. If you are a landlord, you may need assistance with understanding and navigating these regulations.
At New England Law Group, we can help both tenants and landlords understand and comply with rent control laws, ensuring that rent increases are fair and legally justified.
Fair Housing Law
Fair housing law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or family status in housing transactions. Tenants and prospective renters should never face discrimination when trying to secure housing. Unfortunately, housing discrimination continues to be a serious issue in many areas.
If you believe you have been a victim of housing discrimination, our real estate lawyers can help. We will assist you in filing complaints and advocating for your rights. For landlords, we provide legal advice on compliance with fair housing laws to help prevent discrimination claims.
Property Damage and Habitability Issues
Landlords are legally obligated to maintain their properties and ensure that they meet certain safety and habitability standards. If a rental property has serious issues such as mold, faulty plumbing, or broken heating systems, tenants have the right to demand repairs or seek legal recourse.
We assist tenants in holding landlords accountable for failing to make necessary repairs or failing to address unsafe living conditions. For landlords, we provide legal support to ensure that you are aware of your responsibilities and are following the proper procedures to maintain a habitable environment.
Tenant Rights and Lease Agreements
Whether you’re signing a lease or trying to understand your rights as a tenant, lease agreements are essential documents that dictate the terms of your rental arrangement. Disputes often arise over unclear lease terms or disagreements about the conditions of the rental property.
Our real estate lawyers are experts at drafting, reviewing, and negotiating lease agreements. We will ensure that your lease agreement is fair, legally sound, and in compliance with the law. If you’re a tenant with concerns about your lease, we will provide you with the guidance you need to protect your interests.
Home Buying and Selling Disputes
When buying or selling a home, disputes may arise over contracts, disclosures, or property damage. If you are a homebuyer, you may encounter issues such as non-disclosure of defects, or the seller may fail to meet the terms of the sale. If you are a seller, you might face legal implications regarding the conditions of the sale or delays in the closing process.
Our real estate lawyers provide legal services for buyers and sellers, helping them navigate disputes, draft and review contracts, and resolve issues that arise during the buying or selling process.
