Rent and lease disputes lawyer in Lebanon

A rental matter may involve unpaid rent, an eviction request, a disputed notice, repairs, renewal or the return of a property. Dr. Dani Geagea advises landlords and tenants in Lebanon, subject to a conflict check. The first step is to identify the agreement, the history of occupation and the outcome you need, then agree the appropriate legal work.

Mention any notice or hearing date. Review and send the message in WhatsApp. Sending an enquiry does not suspend a deadline or confirm representation.

How the office can assist

Unpaid rent and disputed accounts

Review of rent claimed, payments made, receipts, transfers and correspondence. The office can assess a landlord’s claim or a tenant’s response, distinguish rent from other disputed charges, and advise on a proposed notice, negotiation or proceedings within an agreed mandate.

Eviction requests and formal notices

Assessment of a request to recover possession or a response to an eviction demand. The review considers the lease, the stated grounds, the documents already exchanged and any pending proceedings. The appropriate procedure and position require an assessment of the particular file.

Lease drafting, review and renewal

Review or preparation of residential and commercial leases, amendments and renewal arrangements. The work can address the premises, permitted use, duration, rent, payment method, repairs, charges, guarantees, termination provisions and the practical arrangements for delivery and return of the property.

Residential rental disagreements

Advice concerning apartments and other residential premises, including disagreements over occupation, maintenance, payments, deposits or the end of the tenancy. The office first clarifies each party’s position and the supporting documents before recommending a response or accepting a litigation mandate.

Shops, offices and commercial premises

Assessment of lease issues affecting a shop, office, restaurant, kiosk or other business premises. The review can examine permitted activities, fit-out arrangements, operating expenses, contractual payment formulas, renewal and handover, with attention to the business’s documents and objectives.

Settlement and property handover

Preparation or review of a negotiated arrangement covering payment, departure, delivery of keys, inventory, repairs or release of claims. Any settlement should identify what is agreed, what remains disputed, who must perform each step and how completion will be documented.

Legal context

The lease and its history determine the assessment

An old-rent matter and a recent lease should not be treated as interchangeable. The office examines the date and circumstances in which occupation began, the property’s residential or commercial use, the parties, renewals, amendments and any previous agreement or judgment. Describing a lease as ‘old’ or ‘new’ is a starting point for collecting the facts. It does not, by itself, establish whether a requested increase, termination or eviction is available.

Start with a brief outline
