Real Estate Litigation
REAL ESTATE CASES WE HANDLE

We also represent commercial real estate brokers in commissions disputes.
REAL ESTATE AGENT MISCONDUCT
The real estate profession involves a certain amount of procedural flexibility, but there are also defined regulations about how agents and brokers are allowed to conduct business. A common type of real estate agent misconduct that can lead to a lawsuit is fraudulent or negligent misrepresentations or falsifying information. Real estate agents must also disclose a property’s known defects or structural deficiencies. Real estate brokers or agents also owe their clients fiduciary duties. A fiduciary duty means that the agent or broker has to act in the best interest of their clients, not themselves or another party to the transaction. If you have suffered damages due to a misrepresentation or omission, or because your agent or broker did not act in your best interests, our attorneys may able to help recover your losses.
TENANT DEFAULT
Most commercial tenants enter into an agreement or contract with their landlords regarding the tenant’s payment responsibilities. If the tenant reneges on the agreement without cause, the landlord may be eligible to file a claim.Security deposits are often required for this reason, but there are times where a tenant fails to pay a significant amount of rent and does not notify the landlord. A security deposit may not fully cover a landlord’s losses. For example, a business leasing a property could vacate the premises for financial reasons or due to relocation and fail to give notice to the property owner. In these types of cases, landlords and property owners can pursue legal action in order to recover the lost payment or revenue.
Landlords should keep copies of any contracts, rental agreements, and leases (whether formal or informal) that the commercial tenants have signed or received. With this documentation, our attorneys can investigate the reasoning for the tenant’s departure and determine whether the losses can be recovered.
