Minneapolis Landlord-Tenant Law Attorney
I am attorney Andrew J. Howard, and I provide legal advice and representation in many landlord-tenant disputes. I have handled cases from both the tenant and the landlord sides of the dispute.
I help landlords address many common concerns, including:
- How can I strengthen the rent/lease agreement?
- Can you help with drafting and revising landlord lease documents?
- How can I be certain I am not discriminating against people and am maintaining legal compliance?
- How can I make sure my staff is complying with the laws?
With these types of questions and concerns, it is best to be proactive. I have helped many landlords address all of these and many other questions.
Unlawful Detainer Process
Evictions for non-payment of rent are called unlawful detainer. There are two separate steps and processes that must be followed.
- Eviction process
- Recovering owed money
I can guide you through both of these steps with personal attention and a focus on making the process quick and cost-effective for you.
Tenants' Rights
The majority of my experience has come from the landlord side of the dispute. This experience allows me to help tenants in a dispute because I understand the landlord's motives and thought processes.
If your landlord is not addressing habitability issues, fixing common areas or not managing the safety of the property, contact me immediately. You always have options.
