Some of the clients, both businesses and individual, of The Law Office of Ronald D. Weiss, P.C. are faced with potential eviction actions by their landlord. One response to an eviction action is to litigate with the landlord. Our firm can help the client respond to the petition that initiates the landlord-tenant proceeding. This needs to be done shortly after service of the petition. At the end of a landlord-tenant proceeding our firm can represent the client with an Order to Show Cause to stay an eviction. Defending the Landlord-Tenant proceeding allows the client to assert any defenses they may have to the manner in which such proceeding was initiated. Such defense also gives the client and our firm notice as to the status of the landlord-tenant proceeding and prolongs the proceeding. In some instances a client may have a strong defense, which may cause a landlord-tenant proceeding to be dismissed.
