Landlord / Tenant

Javitch, Block & Rathbone offers full service representation in the area of commercial and residential Landlord/Tenant relations. We are a Gold Circle member of the Northeast Ohio Apartment Owners Association and actively represent the needs of numerous management companies and property owners.

For evictions, our service area includes all of northeast Ohio and the Cincinnati metropolitan area. We presently file hundreds of evictions each month, from simple non-payment of rent actions to more complicated cases involving federally subsidized housing and evictions occasioned by the presence of controlled substances on the premises. We are well versed in the details of the Ohio Landlord/Tenant Act and we strive to produce the best results available.

Once the leasehold is over, Javitch, Block & Rathbone offers comprehensive collection services, including skip-tracing, and, where necessary, litigation throughout the state. Our collectors are experienced in handling accounts arising out of termination of lease agreements and will maximize your recoveries. We are also willing to accept placement of older accounts and those closed previously as “uncollectible”. The combination of our superior collection techniques and the passage of time will render many of these “dead” accounts recoverable.

Many Landlords are unaware of their rights when the tenant files bankruptcy. How is the lease affected? Can you proceed with eviction? Can you collect past due or future rents? Does the answer change depending upon whether the tenant files a chapter 7 or a chapter 13? The answers to these questions require the expertise that JB&R has developed through years of experience in creditor representation in bankruptcy matters.

Javitch, Block & Rathbone also provides quality and cost effective representation in the areas of litigation and transactional matters, including the defense of tenant suits, employment discrimination claims, drafting and revision of lease documents, and real estate transactions.
