Advising Landlords on All Landlord-Tenant Concerns

By diligently preparing your lease agreements, you can reduce potential future litigation risks with tenants.  By carefully drafting your application questions, you can reduce the possibility of future discrimination allegations.  By seeking the advice of a knowledgeable attorney before you act, you can reduce your future exposure to costly and time-consuming litigation.  Steve has been counseling landlords for decades; he has the experience to effectively advise you.

If you have been called before the Ohio Civil Rights Commission to confront allegations of discrimination, or the city has alleged that your properties are not in compliance with the housing code, call Steve.  He can represent you before administrative hearing boards or in municipal court.

Representing Landlords in Eviction Proceedings

If your tenants have violated the terms of your lease agreements and you want to initiate eviction proceedings, Steve can help you.  Although the eviction process in Columbus is relatively efficient, eviction can be a complicated and complex process in surrounding communities.

The eviction process is a product of local laws and therefore varies significantly from one town to the next.  Over the past several decades of helping landlords, Steve has had the opportunity to become familiar with the variations.
