Generally the following steps are involved in a routine real estate transaction:

Perhaps the most common transaction in the area of real property is the purchase or sale of a residential property. In many states, real estate brokers, title companies, and escrow companies routinely handle purchases of residential property, without the services of a lawyer, in other states, attorneys handle various parts of the transactions.

It is important for tenants to pay attention to the eviction procedures in the agreement and terms. No one wants to be unjustly evicted. Most states have laws that provide certain procedures to ensure that each tenant is accorded due process of law, so that they do not come home and find someone else living in their unit with their belongs on the street.

There is a contractual relationship between a landlord and tenant. They each have duties to one another for a lease term to run smoothly.

Landlord Duties:

Understanding your rights as a landlord or tenant can assist you in avoiding problems should you decide to rent instead of purchase your home. As with other areas of law, state law governing this area in each state will vary. Sometimes even cities have their own Rent Control laws, so it is imperative that you check with your local Plan Attorney before proceeding.
