Lease Agreement
The process often begins with the drafting and signing of a lease agreement, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants.
Rent Payments and Obligations
This phase involves the regular payment of rent by the tenant, and the landlord’s obligation to maintain the property and address any maintenance issues.
Property Inspections and Damages
Landlords may conduct periodic property inspections to assess any damages or needed repairs, while tenants are responsible for maintaining the property in a reasonable condition.
Evictions and Disputes
In the event of non-payment or breach of lease terms, the landlord may initiate eviction proceedings. Disputes may also arise regarding maintenance, security deposits, or lease interpretation.
Legal Proceedings
If disputes cannot be resolved amicably, legal proceedings may ensue, potentially leading to court appearances, mediation, or arbitration.
