LANDLORD-TENANT LAW

Our firm works closely with residential and commercial landlords in reviewing, negotiating, and preparing leases and all other leasing documents. We also offer representation in handling any lease dispute that arises, including service of notice of vacate, as well as eviction and obtaining judgments for damages. We prepare filings in a timely and efficient manner and work to collect on judgments obtained against tenants, helping landlords minimize their losses. 

Other assistance we provide landlords: 

• Fair Housing compliance

• Tenant approval guidelines and tenant background checks

• Lease violations

• Compliance with local housing ordinances

• Collection of judgments against former tenants

Our firm has also assisted tenants in negotiating the terms of their lease, and in cases in which their landlord has breached the lease agreement. We can help tenants in Bloomington, Monroe County, and the surrounding counties who believe their landlord has violated the provisions of the lease agreement or Indiana law, including the Indiana security deposit statute. 

 If you are a tenant and you are being evicted due to non-payment or are having trouble paying your rent, there may be resources available to you. Read more at Resources for Tenants Experiencing Financial Hardship (Last Updated: 6/12/2023).

We also offer legal assistance to homeowner and condominium associations, in preparing and reviewing owner agreements and bylaws, and in assisting to collect outstanding association dues.
