LANDLORD-TENANT LAW  
  •  Holdover Proceedings

 

A holdover case is brought when a tenant stays in a property after their lease has ended or after violating lease terms. These cases may involve:

 

  • Expired leases
  • Illegal subletting
  • Nuisance or lease violations
  • Tenants refusing to vacate

 

The goal is to determine whether the tenant must leave the property and under what conditions.

  • Nonpayment Actions

A nonpayment case is filed when a tenant falls behind on rent. The landlord must show the amount owed, and the tenant has the right to challenge the claim, request repairs, or negotiate payment terms. These cases often resolve through settlements, payment plans, or court‑ordered judgments.
