The first step is to communicate openly. Both parties should discuss the issue directly and try to reach a mutual understanding before considering legal action.

Often, the terms of the agreement can help clarify responsibilities and obligations, which might resolve the dispute.

[Anju Ravi]

If direct communication doesn’t work, consider mediation. A neutral third party can help facilitate a discussion and guide both sides toward a fair resolution.

Consulting with a real estate lawyer can provide clarity on your rights and the best legal options available to resolve the dispute.

[Sunitha Venkatesh]

If the dispute is related to property boundaries or title issues, you might need to conduct a property survey or title search to clarify ownership and boundaries.

[Bhavya Patel]

Consider arbitration as an alternative to going to court. Arbitration is a less formal process where a neutral arbitrator makes a binding decision based on the evidence presented.

[Manoj Shah]

Keep records of all communications and agreements during the dispute. Documentation can be crucial if the matter escalates to legal proceedings.

If all else fails, litigation might be necessary as a last resort. However, it’s often more time-consuming and costly, so it’s best to exhaust all other options first.
