Mold/Lease Agreement

My wife and I found 2 places of potential mold within in our rental property after being there nearly 5 years. We have a 2 year old and 8 month old, so I wrote a letter to the Property Manager asking to get out of the lease due to potential mold in 2 places. This was not the first time we found mold ...in this home, the first of which we had to move out for 2.5 months on our own dime. Having dealt with this Property Manager previously, I was inclined to use Professional help as I knew the communication with the Prop Mngr was poor and the responses would not be in my favor. I asked Paul to get involved and get me out of my contract. Most importantly, I did not want to be involved with the communication and dealing with this Property Manager. He took the reigns like a pit bull and started shooting off letters left and right. The Property Manager made this as difficult as possible but in the end Paul was able to not only get me out of my lease but created a settlement in which the owner owed me a half months rent back with full security deposit within 2 days of MIMO. Never once did I have to fear the big bad Property Manager who never even replied to my initial letter. Live and learn, always use a professional like this when they know what they are doing. Worth every penny and I'd do it again ten times over.

Paul Stansen is a true professional with great knowledge and expertise

Paul handled my short sale transaction from beginning to end with the utmost professionalism expertise and was able to complete this transaction with the bank from beginning to end in 75 days which is a record time. There was a minimum of inconvenience because he knows who to contact at the bank, h...ow to negotiate with the senior negotiator, and knows how to close. He also did all the negotiating on the sale by reading the offer and writing the counter offers which included all that was necessary for a smooth deal. He was in continuous contact with me, was to the point clear and concise so I knew what to do when. In addition he is very helpful because he is clear about the process and is excellent in conveying the necessary information in an objective way.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
