Legal counsel is crucial when the recipient of a cease and desist letter disputes the claims or threatens counteraction, as it ensures a thorough understanding of the legal implications and provides a strategic response. An attorney can assess the validity of the claims, identify potential defenses, and evaluate the risks of escalation, such as a lawsuit or further legal action. They can also craft a measured reply to address disputes, avoid admissions of liability, and negotiate resolutions, protecting the recipient’s rights and minimizing potential financial or reputational harm. Without professional guidance, responses could inadvertently worsen the situation or expose the recipient to additional legal risks. Should you face such a situation, please contact the litigation attorneys at Sprigg-Novak Law for a consultation by calling 214-216-1667, or visit our website below. https://smpl.is/9wyrt

Rent increases for residential tenants are generally specified in the lease. Most likely, rent increases occur at the end of the lease period with a specified amount of notice.  For example, on a 12-month lease, the notice is generally 30-60 days on the increase amount, which will be effective on the first day of the next 12-month period.   Month-to-month leases can have increases every period with proper notice, and that, of course, is a good reason to have a longer length lease.  If a lease states that a notice period must be given before a rental increase, and the landlord increases the rent outside of that period, and assuming the tenant is not delinquent in paying their rent, the landlord could be in default of the lease.   Before accusing the landlord of that, make sure that the tenant has also complied with the terms of the lease.  While litigation for breach of contract (lease) is possible, most situations should first be worked out person to person.  Litigation is expensive, but may be the only avenue if a landlord make large and unscheduled lease increases contrary to the terms of the lease.   For lease issues, contact the Sprigg-Novak Law Firm at 214-216-1667, or visit our website below for a consultation. https://smpl.is/9tgyz
