Effective Texas Real Estate Attorneys Represent Renters in Landlord-Tenant Disputes

Skilled lawyers assist tenants in the Texas area with legal issues 

People who rent properties to live in or conduct business have rights under their lease agreements that must be upheld. As experienced real estate litigators, The Meazell Firm represents residential and commercial tenants throughout Texas in a wide range of landlord-tenant issues. We will ensure that the terms of your lease meet state and federal requirements and assist with disputes when your rights under the terms of your lease are being violated.

Experienced real estate counselors handle a range of tasks for tenants

We draw upon our substantial knowledge of real estate, contracts and property rights to help Texas tenants:

• Review rental leases
• Resolve landlord-tenant disputes
• Defend against unjust evictions
• Demand return of security deposits that have been unfairly held
• Uphold their rights against discrimination

Our attorneys are dedicated to ensuring you know your rights as a tenant and handling disputes when property owners violate those rights.

Diligent lawyers review leases to ensure fairness

Both landlords and tenants can avoid potential problems by having a well-drafted lease agreement that enumerates all rental terms. We discuss the particulars of a property and its occupancy and ensure that your lease covers all aspects of your rental agreement. We want you to feel confident that the agreement you sign is in compliance with Texas law and that your rights are protected should a dispute arise.

Proven advocates protect tenants’ rights to security deposits

Texas law specifies the usage, retention and return of security deposits paid by tenants. If your landlord fails to follow these regulations, we can help you collect what is due to you. We first pursue the most cost-effective route of obtaining payment from your landlord but will assertively defend your rights in court when necessary.

Diligent attorneys protect tenants in eviction actions

Eviction is disruptive to both the landlord and the tenant. The landlord must spend the time and money to replace tenants who fall behind on rent, and displaced families must locate a new home under traumatic circumstances. With this scenario in mind, we help mediate disputes when eviction is undesirable. If you are a tenant who unfairly faces eviction, we will protect your right to remain in your home.
