We can't count the number of calls we get every week regarding disputes between tenants and landlords. If there are bankruptcy issues, foreclosure issues, or other legal matters aside from unpaid rent, give us a call now (219-865-8376).
Landlords: If you are a landlord, please give us a call immediately to discuss what you need to do to properly begin the eviction process. If you miss a step, or take action prohibited by law (such as locking your tenant out without a court order), you may end up owing your tenant money.
Tenants: If you have general questions regarding eviction, mold in the apartment, broken heaters, water issues, nonpayment of rent, etc., I recommend you take a look at this fantastic guide Indiana Legal Services has put together. It covers many of the most common situations that tenants face and may give you answers for your pressing questions, or at least help you develop the questions you want to ask us:
Tenants- please note that you MUST stay current on your rent in most situations. If the property is uninhabitable, there are steps you need to take to relieve yourself of the rent. You cannot simply stop paying and continue to live in the property.
