Landlord Tenant Law

Tactical Legal Support for Property Owners, Managers, and Housing Providers

At Derrevere Stevens Black & Cozad, we represent landlords, property managers, and housing providers in a broad range of landlord-tenant disputes. Our attorneys offer practical, results-driven counsel designed to protect our clients’ property interests, minimize exposure, and resolve disputes efficiently. Whether dealing with residential or commercial leases, we understand the legal and business pressures our clients face. We focus on clear communication, timely action, and tailored solutions for each matter. From day-to-day compliance to complex litigation, we help clients stay protected and informed.

We regularly assist clients with issues involving lease enforcement, tenant defaults, nonpayment of rent, property damage, unlawful detainer actions, and violations of lease terms. Our team also advises on regulatory compliance, including fair housing laws, eviction moratoriums, and local ordinances affecting property management. When litigation becomes necessary, we move swiftly to file or defend actions while preserving the integrity of the landlord-tenant relationship wherever possible. We understand that prompt resolution is often key to mitigating losses and restoring operational stability. Our experience spans both routine matters and high-conflict, high-exposure disputes.

Our attorneys partner closely with property owners and managers to develop proactive strategies that reduce risk and prevent future disputes. We provide guidance on lease drafting, notice requirements, and dispute resolution best practices. By combining legal insight with a strong understanding of the housing and property markets, we help clients operate confidently in a highly regulated space. Whether you manage a single property or oversee a large portfolio, our team is ready to support your legal needs with experience, responsiveness, and sound judgment.
