 Bob FriedmanNiagara Falls Landlord & Tenant Attorney
When handled correctly, a rental property is arguably the best investment there is. A stable tenant that pays the rent on time and in full is a great asset which generates predictable cash flow and builds wealth for the property’s owner.
Handled incorrectly, a rental property can seriously limit your ability to build wealth. Non- payment, insolvency, nuisance and illegal subletting are all examples in which not only the owner’s cash flow is threatened, but even the property itself might be at risk.
My name is Bob Friedman and I have been a Niagara Falls Landlord Attorney for more than 30 years. In this role I have made sure time and time again that both landlords and commercial property tenants are protected and compliant with all relevant legislation and state law. In fact, I've had such success in the area of law, I authored a book on the subject - "How to Survive Legally as a Landlord." I have consistently minimized risks for my clients and ensured that they have the peace of mind to concentrate on their core businesses.
