By Donald Harwood, Attorney
 Attorney Donald Harwood, an alumnus of
Northeastern University, practices law at Harwood
Reiff, LLC, in New York. A partner at the firm, Donald
Harwood possesses more than three decades of
experience handling trial and appellate cases.
Specifically, he is knowledgeable of construction
litigations and landlord tenant disputes.
Landlord tenant disputes derive from various
scenarios, such as nonpayment of rent, eviction, and
lack of facility maintenance. The following are areas
to consider when protecting one’s rights in a case.
 1. When leasing a home to a tenant, a landlord
can exercise the option of terminating a lease
upon an agreement’s expiration date. The
landlord does not have to provide a reason or
allow a resident to extend the lease. The landlord
is not even required to send a courtesy reminder
that a lease will be ending in the near future.
2. Landlords seeking eviction of an occupant
must have a valid reason to support the action.
Such reasons include failure to make timely
rental payments and illegal practices on the
facility.
 Eviction notices begin with a court process to
secure a formal order. During this time, a writ
can be issued and executed by a law enforcement
officer to take back possession of a home.
3. Understanding a lease contract is of the
utmost importance for a landlord and tenant.
Each party should read the agreement thoroughly
to understand the legalities and what they are
entitled to. For additional assistance, a person
may refer to the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development, where specific
details of landlord tenant laws are outlined for
each state.
