Landlords/Property-Owners

Protecting Your Achievement and Source of Income

Managing rental property on any scale is a challenging and worthwhile endeavor, and can be an excellent investment. The DMV area has consistently been what it is today: one of the highest-volume and -turnover markets in residential real estate in the country. However, this brings its own set of pressures, such as the highly-regulated state of the industry, fierce competition, and various jurisdictions that are decidedly pro-renter in their enforcement of the laws. This poses a unique risk for landlords who own only one or a few rental units, as the sophistication and resources of a multistate or multinational firm allows it to navigate these regulatory and procedural hurdles fairly easily, while the mom-and-pop proprietor is often blindsided.

Joe, however, is in your corner, and has been in the corner of many other smallholders in the area in vindicating their rights against problem tenants who have caused harm in ways like causing property damage, refusing landlords access for routine maintenance, staying beyond expiration of the lease against the landlords’ wishes, and even gaining entry to and squatting at homes where they never had a valid lease. Joe has learned the hard way what to expect in the various county and city courts, and the particular requirements and foibles of the legal process involving such issues, from the preparation and serving of official notices of eviction or termination, all the way through eviction proceedings and suits to recover for damages caused to rental homes.
