Landlord / Tenant Issues
As humans, where we live is instrumental to our everyday experience and when conflicts arise related to where we live, bigger issues can develop. Whether you are a renter or a homeowner, you are likely familiar with the potential conflicts such as; HOA/management issues, force majeure clause applicability, build out costs and subsequent breaches, lease renegotiations, and quiet use and enjoyment disturbances.
One of the most difficult caveats of landlord/tenant issues is that you have to deal with the side effects of these conflicts on the daily. No matter if you are the landlord or the tenant, these issues are a key player in your day to day life. When the time comes to decide to resolve this conflict, it is important to weigh your options.
In most cases, meditation is the best choice for landlord/tenant issues as the process will likely be the least costly and the most efficient for everyone. If you were to choose to go the litigation or legal trial route, you may be looking at a lengthy, drawn-out process that could end up very costly for both parties.
As a tenant, why meditation?
No matter if you are dealing with a single landlord or a management group, they likely have processes in place to protect them and their assets when these conflicts arise. While that is not a reason to be intimidated, it is important to keep in mind that your resources may be put up against their resources if you were to go to a full legal trial. If you were to opt for meditation, you remain in full control of the decision-making and are able to partake in a much more efficient and cost-effective process.
A meditator would allow you to state your case to the landlord or management group, to explain your reasoning, offer negotiations, and suggest resolutions. The final decision-making would remain between you and the management party.
As a landlord or management group, why meditation?
Oftentimes a legal trial or litigation can be one of the most damaging scenarios for the reputation of a landlord or management company. No matter if you are in the wrong or not, it doesn’t look very reassuring to current or future tenants or clients.
There are many protections in place for renters and tenants and taking it to a legal trial would put that final decision-making in the hands of a jury or a judge instead of you.
