Hi Hrishi, start with clear communication. Address the issue calmly and directly with your tenant to understand their perspective.

[Dharshini]

Document everything. Keep records of all communications, agreements, and any incidents that occur. This can be helpful if the dispute escalates.

[Gokul kannan]

Refer to the lease agreement. Make sure both you and your tenant are following the terms outlined in the lease. This can help clarify responsibilities and expectations.

Mediation can be effective. Involve a neutral third party to facilitate a discussion and help reach a mutually agreeable solution.

[Haasan]

Stay professional. Avoid getting emotional or confrontational. Maintaining a professional demeanor can help de-escalate the situation.

Consider compromise. Sometimes, finding a middle ground can resolve the issue more quickly and amicably than sticking to rigid positions.

Know the laws. Familiarize yourself with local tenant-landlord laws to ensure you’re acting within your rights and responsibilities.

Seek legal advice if necessary. If the dispute cannot be resolved through communication and mediation, consult with a lawyer to understand your options.

Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent many disputes. Ensuring the property is in good condition and addressing tenant concerns promptly can help maintain a positive relationship.
