Poroy Law Firm

Real Estate & Tenancy Law

Secure title, balanced tenancy.

A property is worth only as much as the legal security of the rights attached to it.

Overview

For most families and businesses a property is the most valuable asset they hold, which is why the legal footing of the ownership and lease relationships attached to it matters so greatly. An annotation on the title record, a restriction in the zoning position or a missing clause in a lease can have consequences far larger than the property itself.

The firm takes an approach that puts transactional security first, acting for clients as owner, tenant and contractor alike. From the formation of the contract to the eviction or registration stage, it aims to produce strategic and lasting solutions that protect the client's interests at every step.

Points to Note

What matters
in practice.

The points that most affect the outcome in this area, and are most often overlooked.

Priority of the title and zoning record

The strongest right over a property is proved by a properly kept title and zoning record. A review carried out before the transaction prevents many later disputes at the outset.

Ground and time limits on eviction

Evicting a tenant depends not only on a valid ground but on the periods and procedure specific to that ground. An eviction claim built on the wrong basis may be dismissed.

Timing of a rent-determination action

Adapting or determining the rent depends on defined periods and the time at which the action is brought. An action not brought in time delays the increase that was due.
