For landlords
Leases and evictions
For owners of a few rental homes or a small building: leases that hold up, notices served correctly, and a lawyer in court when a tenancy ends badly.
Lease drafting
A lease written for your property and your rules, in plain words a tenant can follow.
Notices
Notices to vacate and lease violation letters, written and delivered the way the law requires, so a case isn't lost over paperwork.
Eviction cases
We file in the right justice court, appear at the hearing with you, and see the case through to a writ of possession if it comes to that.
Deposits and unpaid rent
Itemized deposit deductions, demand letters, and collecting what's owed after a tenant moves out.
When a tenant stops paying
Call before you change the locks
Changing the locks, cutting a utility or moving a tenant's things out can turn a good case against you. Call first. We'll read the lease and the payment history, send the right notice, and give you a clear timeline for what comes next.
Common questions
Do you represent tenants?
Sometimes, in disputes over a lease or a deposit, but never against a landlord we represent. Call and we'll check for a conflict before we talk details.
How long does an eviction take?
It depends on the court's calendar and whether the tenant appeals. We'll give you a realistic range at the first meeting, not a promise.
Can you review a lease I already use?
Yes. Bring it in and we'll mark what's missing, what's out of date and what a judge might not enforce.
A problem with a tenant?
Call before you act, and Inés Treviño will tell you where you stand.
