Common Situations Leading to Property Disputes

Property owners may encounter disputes with neighbors, government organizations, residential or commercial tenants, or other parties. Some common disputes that may need to be resolved through litigation include:

• Boundary disputes: Neighbors may disagree about where property lines are located or whether one person can use another person's property. These disputes may be related to unclear property descriptions in deeds, conflicting surveys, or encroachments by one party onto property owned by another party. When addressing these issues, detailed examinations of property records and surveys may need to be performed, and the parties may be able to negotiate agreements that will allow them to minimize conflict in the future.
• Easement disputes: Easements grant someone the right to use another person's property for a specific purpose, such as a right of way or utility access. Disputes can occur when the terms of an easement are unclear or when one party believes the easement is being misused or overextended. Resolving easement disputes may require clarification of the easement terms or legal action to enforce or terminate an easement.
• Landlord-tenant disputes: Property owners may encounter disputes related to lease violations, non-payment of rent, property damage, subleasing, repairs and maintenance, improvements to the property, or uses of property for unapproved purposes. Landlords may need to take steps to perform evictions in some cases. Property owners may need to ensure that the terms of leases are followed to protect against issues that could lead to financial losses, and commercial tenants may need to address actions by landlords that could affect their ability to maintain business operations.
• Title disputes: During real estate transactions or in other situations, disputes may arise involving conflicting claims to property ownership. These disputes can result from clerical errors, fraud, adverse possession claims, or issues with inheritances. Title disputes often require a thorough investigation of property records. In some cases, litigation may be required to establish clear ownership.
• Construction defects: Property owners may encounter disputes related to construction work performed on their properties. Structural problems, code violations, or substandard workmanship may result in damage to property or the inability to use land as needed. Property owners may need to take legal action to hold contractors or builders accountable and recover compensation for repairs and other damages.
