Leases are not just paper; they are promises.

As a landlord or a tenant, you are agreeing to certain terms (pay rent, make repairs, follow rules, and follow lease timeframes).

And sometimes one party does not follow through.

That’s when legal action may be the only way to set things straight.

I help clients in Upper Marlboro hold landlords and tenants accountable when lease agreements aren’t being honored.

Common Lease Disputes I See

Lease problems often start small but grow quickly when no one takes action. I see issues like:

• Landlords not fixing major repairs they’re responsible for
• Tenants staying past the end of the lease (or breaking it early)
• Either party ignores the terms about pets, subleasing, or the use of the property
• Security deposit problems after move-out
• Lease renewal or termination confusion

These situations cause financial stress, damage relationships, and create legal risks.

You Have a Lease—Let’s Enforce It

You can demand compliance if the lease is clear and someone’s not doing their part. That’s called execution of lease agreement provisions—and yes, the court can step in if needed.

Whether you’re a tenant being ignored or a landlord dealing with a difficult renter, I’ll help you understand the contract and your rights under Maryland law.

What I Do for Clients in Lease Disputes

At The Law Offices of Haskell & Dyer, I help tenants and landlords enforce the exact terms of their lease. Here’s how:

• Review the lease agreement and explain your legal options
• Send legal notice to the party breaking the agreement
• Negotiate compliance or changes where possible
• Take the matter to court if the other side won’t cooperate

Your lease has power—but only if you stand up and use it.

Don’t Let a Lease Violation Go Unchallenged

If someone is not following the terms of your lease, don’t assume you just have to live with it.

You have legal tools to make things right, and I can help you use them.
