Maxwell Breed Quoted in The New York Times "Ask Real Estate" Column

Real Estate Partner Maxwell Breed was quoted in the Sunday New York Times "Ask Real Estate" column on the wisdom of suing your landlord. In the context of a tenant asking about recourse when a dog day care center moved into the building and the noise of dogs barking was affecting his work and personal life, the reporter writes that you could potentially sue the landlord and dog-school owner for creating a nuisance. But lawsuits are not without headaches, expenses, and there is no guarantee that you will ultimately come away a winner. Mr. Breed said: “I’ve heard it said before that litigation is the sport of kings. Are you going to hire an attorney and pay hourly rates to chase after the owner?”
