Zachary Zawarski is an attorney located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania practicing Landlord-Tenant law. Zachary Zawarski can help landlords with various legal issues that they may faced with, particularly in the areas of evictions and security deposit disputes.
Evictions
If you are a landlord that has a tenant that has not paid rent or breached a condition of a lease, we can help you with the eviction process by obtaining a court order for possession as well as a judgment for any rent that is owed. Please contact us or call 610-417-6345.
The process of evicting a tenant is somewhat cumbersome and tedious and an experienced attorney is often needed. Landlords must ensure that they follow proper procedure in evicting a tenant since attempting to remove a tenant from the premises on your own is strictly against the law.
Furthermore, proper notice must be given to a tenant before a landlord may evict a tenant. If a landlord does not give the tenant proper notice, the tenant may be able to stay on the premises longer than what the landlord wishes.
Security Deposit Disputes
When a tenant moves out, landlords are required by law to provide the tenant with a list of damages within 30 days and return any unused portion of the security deposit. Failure to provide the tenant with a list of damages or failure to return the security deposit can result in a penalty of double the amount of the security deposit.
If a tenant has filed a claim against you seeking a return of their security deposit, you must be aware of these provision and obtain qualified legal counsel to help you defend against this claim. Please call us at 610-417-6345 or contact us to discuss these matters.
