Property disputes are more common than many people realize, and they can quickly escalate into complex legal issues, especially in a city like Tampa where the real estate market includes quick sales, frequent cash transactions, and property concerns due to potential issues caused by hurricane / storm damage. Whether it's a disagreement over property boundaries, issues with a contract or lease, or more serious cases of fraud or misrepresentation by sellers, contractors, or developers, real estate disputes can create significant financial and emotional stress. Real estate litigation involves the legal process of resolving these disputes in court or through other legal means, such as mediation or negotiation. These disputes can involve issues such as property line disagreements, disputes over the condition or history of a property, lease violations, or even issues related to the title of the property. For example, if a seller fails to disclose critical issues like mold damage, zoning violations, or a history of water damage, you may be facing real estate fraud. These situations require legal action to protect your rights and hold wrongdoers accountable.
Common Types of Real Estate Disputes
There are several types of real estate disputes that may require legal assistance. Here are some of the most common that we handle at Burnett Law:
Real Estate Fraud and Misrepresentation Real estate fraud happens when a seller, developer, or agent intentionally provides false or misleading information about a property. This can include failure to disclose significant issues like mold, water damage, or zoning violations, or misrepresenting the condition or legal status of a property. Our team will conduct a thorough investigation, identify instances of fraud or misrepresentation and, if needed, pursue legal action and compensation for your losses.
Property Line and Boundary Disputes Boundary disputes are among the most frequent real estate issues. Whether it's a disagreement about the location of a fence or confusion over property lines, these conflicts can escalate if not resolved early. We will help you gather necessary evidence, such as surveys and property deeds, and negotiate with the opposing party to resolve the boundary issue efficiently.
Ejectment and Trespassing Issues In cases where someone refuses to leave your property, you may need to file an ejectment lawsuit. Trespassing can also occur when an individual or entity unlawfully enters your land. If you are facing trespassing issues, we will help to enforce your rights and prevent further intrusion.
Lease and Contract Disputes Disputes over leases and rental agreements are common, especially between landlords and tenants. These can involve nonpayment of rent, violations of lease terms, or eviction procedures. Whether you're a landlord or tenant, we will protect your rights and help resolve disputes over leases or contracts. We will guide you through your options, including eviction procedures, mediation, or court intervention, as we work toward a favorable outcome.
Title Disputes Title disputes occur when there are challenges to the ownership of a property or concerns about the validity of a title. Issues like title fraud, unpaid liens, or unclear ownership history can complicate real estate transactions. Our team will investigate title issues and discrepancies, and work to clear up any problems to ensure your ownership rights are protected and your transaction moves forward without delay.
