Landlord and Tenant
Often, the largest single liability of a business or an individual is the lease obligation. In the business context, the lease can be multi-year and must allow for expansion, contraction and fundamental change in the business activity and operations. As leasing is a very important element of both commercial and residential life, the attorneys at Langsam Stevens & Silver seek to provide efficient and effective representation for landlords and tenants in leasing, assignments of leases, claims, evictions, collections and other general landlord and tenant matters.
