How Much Does Legal Representation by a Tenant Lawyer Cost?

The cost of legal representation varies depending on the type of dispute, the amount of the claim, the duration of the case, and the complexity of the proceedings. However, we offer different payment models:

Payment Models

• Hourly Consultation: For one-time questions or advice at early stages of a dispute.
• Contingency Fee: In certain cases, we work on a contingency fee basis – meaning you pay only if you win the case and receive compensation or a financial settlement.
• Fixed Representation Fees: For cases with an expected cost range, we may offer fixed representation fees.

In any case, we will discuss costs with you before we start working on your case, and there will be no surprises in the bills.

First Consultation Free of Charge

To give you the opportunity to know if we are the right firm for you, we offer a free initial consultation. In this meeting, you can present your situation, ask questions, and understand your resolution options.

Housing Disputes in Urban Renewal Projects (TAMA 38)

In urban renewal projects, such as evacuation and construction projects, tenant residents are entitled to special rights. However, disputes in these projects can be highly complex, as they involve multiple parties – tenants, contractors, developers, municipalities, and government bodies.

Rights of Tenant Residents in TAMA 38

• Right to Alternative Housing: If the original housing is not available during construction, the tenant must receive alternative housing at the expense of the contractor or developer.
• Right to Compensation: If there is a delay in completing construction, or if the new apartment does not meet standards, the tenant is entitled to compensation.
• Right to Decent Housing Conditions: Even during construction, the tenant must live in safe and proper conditions.
• Right to Participate in Decisions: In certain projects, tenant residents have the right to participate in decisions regarding the project's course.

Common Disputes in TAMA 38

Common disputes in urban renewal projects include: defects in the new apartment, delays in completing construction, issues with apartment transfer, disputes over compensation amounts, or attempts by contractors or developers to impose unfair terms on tenant residents.

An experienced tenant rights attorney specializing in TAMA 38 knows your rights, relevant case law, and ways to achieve fair compensation or settlement.
