O'Donnell Law Center : Lake of the Ozarks

Ask any homeowner - they'll tell you that there is a lot of work involved with the upkeep and maintenance of a home and the surrounding property. It doesn't matter how many precautionary measures you take; problems will inevitably arise and challenges must inevitably be addressed.

As renting becomes a long-term lifestyle for many adults, landlord and tenant law is becoming more and more important.  When they think of landlord-tenant law, many people tend to think of the tenants and their rights. Less attention is given to the (equally important) other end of the equation - the landlords. Landlords Have A Lot Of Responsibility As a landlord, property owners agree to open their homes, condos, apartments, and other properties to tenants. Often, landlords have had no prior experience with their tenants before they sign the lease, yet they rely on their tenants to:  Pay their rent on time Follow the agreed-upon rules regarding the...
