Landlord/TenantRussell, Krafft & Gruber, LLP has extensive experience developing leases which provide property owners with comprehensive protection against financial loss and damage to their property. Our attorneys can design a lease which best suits the needs of the landlord while advising tenants as to their responsibility and financial obligations. Following are some commonly asked questions: How do I know if my lease covers all aspects of the landlord/tenant relationship?There are many types of leases which include various types of obligations and responsibilities for both landlords and tenants. Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, if you have questions about the sufficiency of your lease and/or your rights and obligations under such lease, please contact one of our attorneys to review the lease and discuss its contents. How do I protect myself and my property?As a landlord, it is important to have a lease which provides the most protection for you and your property. The Pennsylvania Landlord/Tenant Act provides certain protections and obligations for both landlords and tenants. However, parties are free to contract outside of the provisions of the Landlord/Tenant Act, which in most cases, provides the landlord with more protection than that provided in the Pennsylvania Landlord/Tenant Act or a standard form lease. In order to have a lease which best protects you and your property, please contact one of our attorneys to review your current lease. Am I required to hold a security deposit in an interest bearing account?A landlord's responsibilities with regard to security deposits are delineated in the Pennsylvania Landlord/Tenant Act. Such Act provides specific legal requirements as related to the handling of security deposits. If you are unsure as to what your legal obligation as a landlord is as related to your tenant's security deposits, please contact one of our attorneys to assist you. Can I collect the fees and expenses incurred for an eviction?In general, if you are required to evict a tenant from your property through litigation, you will be entitled to collect the filing and service fees incurred. However, attorneys' fees will only be collectible if provided for in your lease. Accordingly, it is important for you to have your current lease reviewed by a legal professional to ensure that in an eviction situation, you are able to remove the tenant from your property as quickly and inexpensively as possible.

All real estate settlements are handled by experienced attorneys. We believe that it is beneficial to our clients to have title insurance protection and effective legal representation at the closing table.
