Landlord-Tenant

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, whether you are negotiating, preparing or signing a residential or commercial lease, seeking legal counsel will help you avoid common pitfalls.

At Bassey and Selesko we provide legal advice, guidance and court representation for all landlords and for commercial tenants throughout the Detroit metro area and surrounding counties.

We believe that careful drafting of both commercial and residential leases is the key to preventing future disputes. Before signing a lease, it is always wise to have an attorney review the terms to protect your interests and help you understand your responsibilities, and to be aware of the risks, which may be found in the fine print.

A lease spells out not only the amount of rent to be paid, the amount of deposit, but also the conditions for deposit refunds, the length of the lease, the right to renew and the maintenance for which the tenant and landlord are each responsible for maintaining. Protect your interests and avoid surprises by getting knowledgeable and experienced legal advice at the beginning of your landlord-tenant relationship.

When you have questions about landlord-tenant laws in your jurisdiction, or if you would like assistance with drafting, reviewing or signing a lease or evicting a non-paying tenant, call (248) 355-5000 to arrange an appointment with one of our attorneys.
