General Meetings - November 8th, 2007

Garden State Apartments General Meetings

This event focused on planning ahead to avoid problems with a tenant, legal leasing practices, critical lease provisions, setting up security deposits, and an introduction to the eviction process including the various grounds to lawfully dispossess a residential tenant and recover possession of a rented premises. While we hope that our leasing practices are good enough to avoid evictions if possible, sometimes we must turn to the court system for assistance, and hopefully justice. The experienced attorneys from Levy, Ehrlich & Petriello educated guests on what we need to do in order to ensure a more favorable outcome.
