Last year, the Pew Research Center posted an article titled, “More U.S. households are renting than at any point in 50 years,” in which the authors noted that the national percentage of household heads who rent their home had risen to 36.6% in 2016 . . . . The importance of the landlord in facilitating housing for this large swath of the population is clear. What may not be clear to most is the amount of investment, risk, and attention shouldered by the landlord. . . . Among our practice areas at Shenandoah Legal Group, we represent landlords and aim to make protecting their interests as simple as possible. We help landlords obtain possession of their distressed properties, to collect amounts owed for unpaid rent and damages, to resolve security deposit disputes, and to defend against tenant assertions.
