How can a landlord exercise their legal rights?

A landlord can exercise their legal rights primarily by enforcing lease terms under specified conditions. The lease agreement outlines the responsibilities and rights of both parties, and when either side fails to adhere to these terms, the landlord is entitled to enforce them. This could involve actions such as collecting unpaid rent, addressing lease violations, or initiating eviction processes if necessary.

This approach establishes a legal framework that both landlords and tenants must respect, ensuring that rights are exercised within the bounds of the law. It's important for landlords to follow the procedures outlined in the lease and relevant laws, as doing so protects their rights and helps maintain a lawful and orderly rental environment.

In contrast, mutual agreement with tenants, while often desirable, does not encompass the full scope of a landlord's rights, as landlords can act based on the legal and contractual rights provided by the lease regardless of tenant agreement in some situations. Ignoring tenant requests does not align with exercising legal rights; it could lead to disputes or violations of tenant rights. Similarly, unilaterally changing rent prices typically violates the lease agreement unless specified conditions exist under which the landlord is permitted to make such changes.
