If you want to protect yourself from litigation or are hoping to avoid having a real estate deal fall apart, our real estate attorneys may be able to help. Here is more about some of the most common types of property dispute cases we take on:
Before closing the sale of a property, you need to ensure the title is clean. Unfortunately, far too many properties with judgments or liens can adversely impact your ability to close the sale. Until you know whether someone has filed a judgment or lien against a residential or commercial property, you should not complete the purchase. When you want to avoid title problems, our firm can help you get clean titles for your properties.
Property owners have a legal obligation to address environmental concerns on their commercial, industrial, and residential properties. As described under the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6, et seq., property sellers at industrial sites are legally required to clean up hazardous materials before the transfer or sale of the property in question. Reasonable efforts must be made when the business ceases operation or before the property is sold or transferred. Some examples of ISRA violations could include:
Anyone in violation of the ISRA can face serious penalties, including $25,000 fines for a first offense and continued violations for every day the hazards remain.
Failure to follow the terms of the contract is considered a breach under New Jersey’s Charge 8.45. A sizable number of real estate disputes occur when one or both parties are unable or refuse to follow the previously agreed upon contractual terms. For instance, if the property owner failed to disclose material defects, this could be considered a breach of your real estate contract. Other examples could include failing to make improvements as described in the real estate documents or refusing to make the down payment on the agreed-upon date.
Both tenants and landlords may find themselves involved in real estate disputes. Maybe the landlord failed to make necessary improvements or the tenant damaged the property and is refusing to pay for the repairs. Our team can help you resolve these issues and protect your rights whether you are a property owner, landlord, or tenant.
