Sheehey attorneys have extensive experience representing both commercial and residential landlords at all stages of the landlord-tenant relationship. Sheehey’s real estate team routinely represents landlords in negotiating complex commercial leases, navigating challenges with tenants during the term of their leases, and terminating leases in the event of default.
On the residential side, Sheehey attorneys Kevin Lumpkin and Renee Mobbs routinely represent landlords in navigating challenges with tenants, most frequently in the context of residential evictions. Residential eviction is a highly technical process, and there are many requirements associated with a notice of termination of tenancy and how to plead an eviction case that can be challenging for landlords to navigate on their own.
For landlords renting to Section 8 recipients, there are even more heightened requirements that residential landlords often do not know about such as the requirement to attach a Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”) form to the notice of termination of tenancy and the requirement to copy the relevant housing agency on the notice of termination of tenancy.
