Questions from Landlords
A. If a corporation owns the property, you will likely need a lawyer to represent you; courts normally do not allow a nonlawyer to act as a lawyer, which would necessarily be the case when you started to cross-examine witnesses. On the other hand, if you are an owner of the property, you could in theory represent yourself. If you do not file many evictions, it may well be worth the cost of an attorney to avoid the errors often made by novices concerning the notice provisions and timing, errors that could cause the action to be dismissed and force you to start again from the beginning. You would have lost several weeks and perhaps several hundred dollars in filing fees. Even if you are comfortable with the legal requirements of a successful eviction action, hiring a lawyer could still make economic sense given the fact that a lawyer can often save the landlord two or perhaps three trips to court on a single eviction (filing the action, attending the eviction hearing, and even filing a request for a set out). Looked at in this light, hiring a professional may very well be a reasonable way to proceed. Lawyers at this site are listed on the State Pages by city and county. They would be happy to hear from you and to let you know how they can help save you time and money. IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY THE CREDENTIALS AND CLAIMS OF ANY INDIVIDUAL BEFORE YOU PAY FOR LEGAL SERVICES. Q. Does it cost money to ask a lawyer a question through your site? A. All information on this Web Site is free. We hope that you will visit again and again to gather new information, peruse our comprehensive links, and pick up other tips on being a landlord. If you find a lawyer, you may contact that lawyer via phone, fax, ordinary mail, or e-mail, and he or she will tell you how and when legal fees could be incurred. There is no charge for asking a question through Ask a Lawyer on this Web Site; however, it is possible that the nature of your question would require some legal research. Any fees required would have to be set by a responding attorney and agreeable to yourself. Sorry, we cannot require lawyers to respond to your question. Therefore, you may receive no response and you should not expect any response. Q. What if no lawyer is listed for my city? A. If no lawyer is listed for your city, please let us know, and we will attempt to have one or more lawyers get in contact with you to discuss your potential legal concerns. Thank you for your patience as we attempt to locate landlord lawyers in all U.S. metropolitan areas. Q. How can a lawyer save me money? A. Your lawyer may be able to save you costs frequently lost by landlords with common timing, filing, and service errors. Even if you have filed numerous successful eviction actions yourself, your lawyer is better equipped to handle difficulties that arise. And by dealing creatively with problems, such as service issues, requests for continuance, or possible tenant defenses, your lawyer can reclaim possession earlier than you could yourself. Like it or not, lawyers often get more respect from court magistrates and judges, and you can often benefit from putting their reputations and skill to work for you. And by drafting such things as payment plans and other agreements with the teeth of court enforcement, your lawyer may be able to better ensure payment of past due rent in ways you may not have imagined. Q. If I find a lawyer through your Site, do I have to send my evictions and collections through your site? A. No. Please contact your lawyer directly. Q. How much does it cost to send an eviction or collection through your site? A. The cost of the eviction or the collection is determined by the lawyer to whom you are sending the eviction or collection. There is no other charge associated with using the forms on this Web Site. Q. Do you have any links that would be of interest to landlords? A. For links specific to your state, please visit your State Page found through the EZeviction Page.
