Commercial & Residential Leases

Leasing a property is subject to its own set of laws and rules that govern the responsibilities and duties of both the landlord and tenant. In general, the landlord is responsible for maintaining the property and the tenant is responsible for paying rent and avoiding damage to the property. However, every lease has additional terms that govern the relationship between landlord and tenant. These terms include things like security deposits, pet ownership, and more.
