Q. Can a Tennant sue his Landlord? And what is the viability of this?

August 31, 2022

A: Your situation sounds alarming and unsustainable. You correctly identify your claims as arising out of landlord-tenant legal responsibilities. Your complaints appear to complain of a violation of the covenants of exclusive use and quiet enjoyment by your landlord.

Frankly it will take a further analysis to see if you have claims. We generally have our new client contacts answer a number of questions on intake sheets for all of our prospective clients. You can call our office if you wish to fill out such a new client contact info sheet with Sheri at 808-528-2525.

Aloha,

Bill Lawson
