Landlord-Tenant Law in the DC Area: Opportunities and Challenges
The DMV region has a large and fast-growing population, driven by the employment prospects that the area offers. One thing all newcomers or locals going out on their own have in common is that they have a need for a rental home. The varieties of housing found here are nearly endless, with everything from apartments in large building complexes owned and operated by out-of-state or multinational property management firms to townhomes owned and maintained by individuals or families as their job being available, as well as everything in between.
This diverse housing rental market means that many unique situations encounter both renters and owners in Virginia and Maryland, requiring custom-tailored solutions. The needs of a student or new graduate starting his or her first job and renting a unit in a highrise are very different from a family leasing small house in Stafford or Loudoun County, just as the issues a large multinational managing tens of thousands of rental units encounters are distinct from those of a couple who bought a condo or two to rent out as their main source of income.
Luckily, the Firm’s Managing Attorney, Joseph Putnam Evans, happens to have represented both landlords and tenants across many types of housing and situations, and chances are that the unique path to achieve your goals in the landlord/tenant area is very similar to that which Joe has already handled.
