You are already in an apartment lease and when you come home from work one night you
notice there's a huge hole in the ceiling and the hole is larger then the last time
you reported it to your landlord. And apparently they are not going to do anything about it.
Hello I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the questions how to sue your landlord to
resolve a landlord tenant dispute. Well one of the first things you want to consider is
what does your lease agreement with this landlord say. They may very well be a provision in
the lease agreement itself that dictates whether you can sue the landlord or whether you have
to do something before you can sue the landlord such as go through a dispute resolution process
or something of that nature. You also want to take a look at the statutes of the state
in which your reside that would govern over landlord tenant disputes. And you want to
determine whether this is a residential landlord tenant dispute or a commercial landlord tenant
dispute because ordinarily even though it varies from state to state the requirements
for suing a landlord are different if it's a commercial landlord tenant dispute then
they are if it's a residential landlord tenant dispute. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for
watching.
