LANDLORD - TENANT DISPUTES

Landlord - Tenant Disputes

Tenant/Landlord mediation is a process designed to help resolve disputes between tenants and landlords in a rental property. It serves as an alternative to going to court and allows both parties to address their concerns and find a mutually agreeable solution with the assistance of a neutral mediator. 

Mediation can be used to address various issues, such as rent disputes, security deposit disagreements, lease violations, maintenance and repair disputes, noise complaints, or lease termination disputes. The mediator facilitates communication and negotiation between the tenant and landlord, helping them understand each other's perspectives and work towards a resolution. 

During the mediation process, both parties have the opportunity to express their concerns, propose solutions, and engage in constructive dialogue. The mediator assists in identifying common ground and exploring potential compromises. The goal is to reach an agreement that is fair and satisfactory to both the tenant and landlord. 

Mediation is often preferred over litigation because it is generally faster, less formal, and more cost-effective. It allows the parties to maintain better control over the outcome and can help preserve the relationship between the tenant and landlord, which can be important if they continue to have a rental relationship in the future.
