Leases & rental agreements
Clear agreements help establish expectations. Bring the signed agreement, any changes, and the provision or responsibility you want to discuss.
Landlord–tenant law
Rental relationships involve real people, important responsibilities, and a place called home. When questions or disputes arise, a careful look at the facts is a useful first step.

Clear agreements help establish expectations. Bring the signed agreement, any changes, and the provision or responsibility you want to discuss.
A disagreement may involve communications, payments, use of the property, or performance under an agreement. A simple timeline and the underlying records help put the concern in context.
Condition and repair concerns benefit from organized documentation. Relevant communications, photographs, requests, and a timeline can help explain what has occurred.
Notices and court papers can involve time-sensitive issues. Identify when and how a document was received, keep the complete document, and mention any court date at the beginning of your inquiry.
Before our first conversation
Start with the property’s county, your role in the rental relationship, and the basic issue. Save confidential details for an appropriate discussion.
An inquiry does not extend a deadline or confirm that the firm is acting on your behalf.

Identify your role in the rental relationship, the county where the property is located, the basic issue, and any notice or hearing dates. The firm will explain what further information may be needed.
Mention the documents you have, but wait for the firm to confirm how they should be provided. Initial inquiries should include only the basic information needed for review and a conflict check.
Mention the papers and any stated dates immediately. Keep the complete documents. Do not assume a deadline is protected or that the firm has accepted representation because you sent an inquiry.
