What is Real Estate Litigation?

Real estate litigation involves legal disputes concerning real property, not just the building or structure but the land itself. This branch of law focuses on resolving conflicts over the ownership, use, and enjoyment of real property. The process may involve court battles, mediation, and arbitration, where parties seek to enforce or defend their legal rights through formal legal proceedings.

Common Issues that Lead to Litigation in Real Estate

  1. Boundary and Title Disputes: Disagreements over where one property ends and another begins or issues arising from unclear or disputed property titles.
  2. Contract Disputes: Conflicts involving the sale, purchase, or transfer of real estate often stem from breaches of contract or misrepresentations during the sale process.
  3. Landlord-Tenant Disputes:These can include disputes over lease terms, eviction proceedings, non- payment of rent, and maintenance obligations.
  4. Zoning and Land Use Issues: Disputes with local governments or neighbors regarding how property is used or what it can be used for, including variance applications and compliance with local zoning laws.
  5. Construction Defects and Contractor Disputes: Issues related to the quality of construction, adherence to contractual terms, and delays or failures in completing projects.
  6. Foreclosure Disputes: Conflicts arise from foreclosure, particularly when homeowners contest the foreclosure's legality or negotiate for alternatives like short sales.
  7. Easements and Encroachments: Disputes over access rights to a property or issues arising when a property owner violates the boundary lines or rights of another's property.


Each issue requires specialized legal expertise to navigate the complex real estate and property rights laws. Real estate litigation seeks to resolve these disputes through legal judgment or negotiated settlements, aiming to achieve a fair resolution for all parties involved
