What Is Real Estate Litigation?
Real estate litigation is the legal process of resolving disputes related to real property through the court system. It typically occurs when parties involved in a transaction—such as buyers, sellers, landlords, and developers—cannot reach an agreement through private negotiation.
Common Causes of Real Estate Litigation
- Breach of Contract: One party fails to adhere to the terms of a purchase agreement, lease, or other real estate contract.
- Boundary and Title Disputes: Disagreements over exact property lines, encroachments (like fences or driveways), or legal ownership and title defects.
- Failure to Disclose: A seller fails to inform a buyer of known property defects, such as structural issues or environmental hazards.
- Landlord-Tenant Issues: Disputes involving unpaid rent, lease violations, or wrongful evictions.
- Zoning and Land Use: Conflicts regarding property development, local ordinance compliance, or eminent domain proceedings.
- Construction Defects: Claims against builders or contractors for poor workmanship or code violations.
- Partition Actions: A legal proceeding to divide property owned by multiple people who no longer wish to be co-owners.
