Tenants No Longer Terrorized

The tenants have often become the worst victim of the dishonest landlords in the world of apartment leasing. Short of sufficient knowledge regarding landlord/tenant law, they are often taken for a ride by dishonest landlords who withhold security deposits without good reason, raise rents without notice, ignore vital repairs, and attempt to evict tenants with no real justifiable reasons. Since most tenants believe they cannot afford to get professional legal counsel at $200-300 per hour, the actions of landlords go unchallenged and the tenant suffers. However, the trend has changed and the tide has turned a bit in the recent times. Tenants are finding that they can gain a professional assistant at a cost much lower than they thought.

Independent Associate Glyn Norman, who works with Prepaid Legal Services, Inc., explains: "Probably half my calls are from tenants being abused by landlords. They are being unfairly victimized and don't know where to turn. There is usually a great sigh of relief when I tell them they can get a consultation with a lawyer, and a letter written to the landlord upholding their rights, and that it will cost them nothing more than a $26 per month legal plan."

In 90% of the cases, this seems to be all that is required. When the landlord finds out that the tenant is not going to accept their actions, and that they have legal assistance backing them up, they usually put right whatever is wrong, and stop taking advantage. In the USA, the richest 10% of Americans have a lawyer on retainer, and the poorest 10% qualify for Legal Aid. That leaves a gaping hole for the middle 80%, and this is a hole that Prepaid Legal Services aims to fill, with over 1.5 million families already taking advantage of their legal plans. Finally tenants have someone on their side.

Harvard study promotes mandatory prenups.

Those who believe that prenup is a provision against the negative outcome of marriages should find this article an eye-opener. The recent study by Heather Mahar of the Havard Law School reveals that most people are under the misconception that a prenup increases the likelihood of divorce, and concluded that a solid prenuptial agreement is likely to improve the chances of a successful marriage.

With five out of ten marriages going bust, a good prenuptial agreement can improve the chance of a successful marriage. A prenup should not only guard the assets, it should protect the marriage.

The least convincing reason for average American couples to prefer prenuptial agreements, since most couples do not enter marriages with significant assets.

Mahar argues that the division of assets is "the least compelling reason for average American couples to consider prenuptial agreements, since most couples do not enter marriages with significant assets." However, she finds that "for couples who choose a traditional partnership, with one spouse exiting the workforce to raise children, agreeing in advance about how to divide assets earned during a marriage or potential future earnings can protect the stay-at-home spouse against divorce laws, which have generally eliminated long-term alimony."

The procedure of creating a prenup acts as form of premarital counseling, making couples talk about what kind of marriage they want, and what legal implications there will be if one spouse veers off course. Mahar recommends mandatory prenuptial agreements, and using LawDepot.com's online prenup as a couple can make the process easier.
