Legal Rights and Duties Affecting Residential Tenants

With this said, Alfred Legal Services also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. Alfred Legal Services helps tenants to resolve disputes by first reviewing the facts and issues and then by working to negotiate a resolution with the landlord. If resolution is evasive, Alfred Legal Services can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
