Representing Property Management Counsel

Establishing a Beneficial Contractual Relationship

FHC&W advices property management clients on legal matters that arise during the course of their management duties. We also assist management companies in arranging a beneficial contractual relationship with their principal property owner or apartment owner.

Our lawyers draft contracts that clearly outline the principal-agent relationship:

• Scope of work
• Financial terms
• Sub-contracting regulations
• Insurance requirements

It is important for a property management company to understand the expectations of the property or apartment owner, the legal relationship, and their liabilities in performing their required contractual duties. We can explain, in detail, the parameters of any given contract and perform a valuable review service to make sure our clients’ interests are met before they enter a legally binding agreement.

Dispossessory Filings & Proceedings

We routinely file dispossessory proceedings in all major Atlanta metropolitan courts, as well as many other counties in North Georgia, to obtain possession of apartments in cases where rent was not paid, the lease has been terminated, or the lease is non-renewable due to violations. We offer efficient and cost-effective dispossessory filings using a proprietary Dispossessory Management System.

Our firm appears in courts on behalf of our property management clients throughout the greater Atlanta metropolitan area on a daily basis. These cases may involve nothing more than a simple failure to pay rent due, or they could involve more complex issues and allegations, such as:

• Failure to make repairs
• Negligent security
• Mold growth & other health hazards
• Lease termination issues
  • Domestic disputes
  • Noise complaints
  • Unreasonable residents
  • Criminal activity—drugs, gangs, etc.

FHC&W also handles a significant number of post-foreclosure dispossessory proceedings for other Atlanta law firms to obtain possession of houses which have been sold through the foreclosure process. Contact our firm for legal advice and counsel on how to manage a dispossessory in accordance with the law.
