Representation for Tenants
Renting a home should feel safe and stable. When a landlord ignores their legal responsibilities, you deserve someone who knows the law and will hold them accountable. Our attorneys handle:
- Unlawful evictions: Landlords must follow specific legal procedures before removing you from your home. Skipping any step can render the eviction invalid.
- Unsafe living conditions: South Carolina Code § 27-40-440 requires landlords to maintain rental properties in a fit and habitable condition, including working plumbing, electricity, and structural safety.
- Security deposit disputes: When a landlord withholds your deposit without a valid reason, you may be entitled to recover that money and more.
- Lease violations: If your landlord breaches the terms of your lease, you have legal remedies available.
Representation for Landlords
Managing rental property in (Columbia) comes with real risks, especially when a tenant stops paying rent or damages your investment. Our attorneys help landlords with:
- Eviction proceedings: Removing a tenant legally requires strict compliance with state procedures, and even minor errors can significantly delay the process.
- Unpaid rent recovery: We pursue back rent and related costs through the court system when tenants refuse to pay.
- Property damage claims: When a tenant leaves your property in worse condition than they found it, you have the right to seek compensation.
- Lease drafting and review: A well-written lease is your first line of defense, and having it reviewed by our attorneys can help you avoid costly disputes down the road.
