Landlord and tenant laws are different from state to state and it is valuable to have an attorney that knows the local laws in order to put you the best position to maintain a profitable, safe, and legally compliant property.  Landlords can face even worse consequences for not following the laws and improperly evicting a tenant, which can end up costing you more than the amount you sought from a tenant.  Hunter & Johnson are well versed in landlord and tenant laws in the District of Columbia and Maryland.

If you are a landlord seeking to evict a tenant for failure to pay rent, to recover for back rent that is owed, or to evict a tenant who has breached their lease, we can represent you in evicting your tenant and getting the rent that is owed to you.  Additionally, we represent commercial landlords, and commercial and residential tenants seeking to defend against lawsuits brought by their landlord or attempting to hold their landlord liable for a breach of lease, failure to maintain property, and/or any illegal action taken by the landlord. Do it right, and do it right the first time.
