Busman & Busman can represent you whether you are a Landlord or a Tenant involved in a commercial or residential landlord and tenant dispute.  We represent landlords in a variety of actions concerning leases and rent / damage disputes, and our expertise in representing landlords provides us with valuable insight when representing tenants.

Lease Preparation and Review:  Whether commercial or residential, the Lease itself is critically important, as the slightest one-word omission may drastically affect your rights as a landlord or tenant.  Beginning your tenancy with a well-drafted, effective Lease which protects your interests will save you valuable time and money.

Evictions:  As a Landlord, whether residential or commercial, swift eviction of your tenant in default is a top priority.  Unlawful Detainer actions are strictly governed by statute, and compliance with the applicable statutes and lease provisions will help to avoid surprises or delays.  Cases involving possession are heard by the courts on an expedited basis, and we will prosecute your case quickly and efficiently.  Claims of unpaid rent and property damage will be prosecuted together with the action for possession.

Unpaid Rent or Damages:  After your tenant has vacated the premises, Busman & Busman can represent you to collect unpaid rent and property damage.  These cases are oftentimes governed by complex or very specific lease provisions, and our experience and approach helps our clients to anticipate and overcome the opposition’s strategy and likely defenses, and to maximize client’s recovery.

Defense of Actions:   Busman & Busman also represents tenants in defense of any action brought by their landlord.  Our experience in representing landlords helps us protect the rights of tenants and minimize their losses.
