Are you unfortunately involved in a dispute and would like to have a landlord and tenant law overview? Landlord/tenant law governs the rental of commercial and residential property. These laws are determined by the state in which the property is built. A number of states have based their statutory law on either the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA) or the Model Residential Landlord Tenant Code.

A landlord/tenant law overview can help resolve many disputes and possibly avoid costly litigation. Contact a Real Estate Lawyer for a landlord/tenant law overview.

The Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA) is divided into sections with each section clearly defining the rights and obligations of both the landlord and tenant. Some of the provisions of the landlord/tenant law overview are:

	Terms and Conditions of Rental Agreement
	Effect of Unsigned or Undelivered Rental Agreement
	Prohibited Provisions in Rental Agreements
	Separation of Rents and Obligations to Maintain Property Forbidden
	Security Deposits, Prepaid Rent

	Failure to Pay Rent, Failure to Maintain
	Landlord Liens
	Remedy after Termination
	Recovery of Possession
	Periodic Tenancy, Holdover Remedies
