Compliance with Landlord-Tenant Laws

Landlords have long been popular targets of litigation. Westlake believes that with the right planning lawsuits do not need to happen.

Our top management and onsite property management staff pay careful attention to these litigation "magnets" and take the right steps to avoid them:

  • Condition of the property – We regularly tour properties, seeking out hazards and marking them until they can be fixed―a demonstrated good faith attempt to provide a safe environment.
  • Employee actions – Westlake mitigates this risk with rigorous pre-employment screening, strong management, and ongoing training.
  • Failure to deliver – We keep commitments made in lease documents clear and specific to avoid the pitfalls presented by implied warranties.
  • Violation of tenants' rights – We understand and act on your statutory responsibilities under current property management legislation.
  • Fair Housing violations – Westlake knows the law, we know how Fair Housing inspectors work, and we work smart to keep your property in strict compliance.

If you have concerns in any of these areas, it may be time to talk to a trusted expert. To learn more about how you can mitigate the risks of ownership, contact us at info@westlake-realty.com for a complimentary Quick Review and Snapshot Summary of your property.
