Smart Raleigh Lawyers Assists Landlords in
Disputes with Tenants
Many landlord/tenant issues are handled in the small claims court of the North Carolina court system. Evictions and claims for rent are heard every day before the magistrates. Despite the appearance of simplicity, the ins and outs of this area of the law are not so obvious.
Leases can be quite complicated and the remedies, should a landlord/tenant dispute arise, are often difficult to understand.
Both the landlord and the tenant have considerable rights. The best course is to always have a written lease and make no assumptions. A well-written lease will be specific as to the rights of both the landlord and the tenant.
A solid lease will provide the landlord with the most cost-effective remedies and ensure that the tenant will comply with their obligations.
Because of the nature of leases, they affect a business’s ability to operate or a person’s residence, and the legal requirements and responsibilities are strict. If not followed properly, the experience of a landlord/tenant dispute can be distressing for either party.

If you are a commercial landlord and your tenant files for bankruptcy protection, consult an attorney. Upon receipt of notice of the bankruptcy, you should move quickly to secure the landlord’s rights in the bankruptcy court. Leases, in many cases, maintain an important position in the bankruptcy court.
The determination of whether a bankrupt tenant will remain in the property or terminate the lease often comes with complications for which a knowledgeable attorney can advise a commercial landlord on how to protect its rights.
