Ongoing - Essential Retainer (Small Landlords, 1–5 Units)

Monthly pre-litigation negotiation support for small landlords (1–5 units). Covers both Pay-and-Stay arrears negotiations and Vacate / Surrender agreements, without attorneys or court filings.

Most landlord matters resolve within 2–6 weeks, which is why small landlords choose this retainer — to avoid unpaid months, legal retainers, and stressful escalation.

This Essential Retainer provides ongoing dispute coverage for landlords with up to 5 units. When a tenant stops paying or refuses to leave, we step in as a neutral pre-litigation negotiator to secure either repayment or surrender — privately, professionally, and without legal confrontation.

This package is ideal for:
✅ Small landlords
✅ First-time investors
✅ Condo / co-op owners renting a unit
✅ “Accidental landlords”
✅ Owners who don’t want court involvement
