What is Real Estate Litigation?

Real estate litigation encompasses a wide range of legal disputes concerning real property. These disputes can occur between various parties, including buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, developers, real estate agents, homeowners’ associations, co-op boards, and government entities. Sabrina Rabban, Esq. PLLC, provides real estate litigation services covering a variety of areas, including:

Contract Disputes

  • Breach of Contract: Disputes over purchase agreements, leases, or other real estate-related contracts where one party claims the other failed to fulfill their obligations.
  • Specific Performance: A legal remedy where the court orders the party who breached the contract to fulfill their contractual duties, such as completing the sale of a property.

Title and Ownership Disputes

  • Quiet Title Actions: Legal actions to resolve disputes over who holds the rightful title to a property.
  • Easement Disputes: Conflicts over the right to use another's property for a specific purpose, like access to a road or utility lines.
  • Adverse Possession: Claims that someone has gained ownership of property by occupying it without the original owner's permission for a legally defined period.

Landlord-Tenant Disputes

  • Evictions: Legal proceedings to remove a tenant from a rental property.
  • Lease Disputes: Conflicts over the terms of a lease, such as rent, maintenance, or use of the property.
  • Habitability Issues: Claims that a property is uninhabitable due to poor conditions, leading to disputes over rent payments or repairs.

HOA / Condominium / Co-op Litigation
