Chapter 211: Litigation Lawyer
she overlooked Zhuo Yu'an's love for the children. He opened videos of the two children's classes every day to satisfy his cravings.This morning, after the meeting, I went back to my office and casua...Shutinglan first said these words to comfort Ms. Chen's emotions. The landlord indeed did not have the right to ask her to move out. 。
Ms. Chen was already upset about her housing problems, and when she heard the intern lawyer say that the landlord was also a victim, she became even angrier. Thankfully, this Lawyer Shu was professional enough to present the facts and evidence objectively. 。Shu Tinglan saw that she had relaxed a little, and continued:
"After the rental platform's explosion and donations disappeared, I received quite a few similar cases. The general solutions are two: one is to go through legal procedures and confront the landlord head-on by refusing to move out; the other is to negotiate with the landlord, each taking a step back>>> 。She doesn't say which of the two methods is more suitable, she doesn't give an answer, she only analyzes the situation and lets the person involved consider it first. This is a negotiation tactic. 。If you immediately assert your own viewpoint, the other party may be less receptive and find ways to refute your arguments. You'll also miss out on understanding their true needs. 。Mrs. Chen said, "I can't move. I've paid a year's rent, and my child goes to school nearby. We just transferred here, and I don't want to move frequently and affect their studies." 。"Well, if you pursue legal action, you have a good chance of winning. After all, the landlord is using the platform to find tenants, so your relationship with the landlord is based on a contract. She has no right to evict you." 。This can lead to some landlords taking extreme measures, such as cutting off your water and electricity supply, or knowing that you have school-aged children at home, they will deliberately bang drums and gongs at your door to disrupt their studies. 。Shu Tinglan wasn't exaggerating; she had spoken to Chen's landlord, who confirmed that many of her friends did the same thing. 。Most tenants are bothered by it, calling the police is useless, and in the end they can only resign themselves to their fate and move out. 。This is a very real issue. 。"Is there no law I paid a year's rent, and I've only lived here for half a year. Does that mean the tens of thousands of yuan for the remaining six months is just gone""The landlord said we could negotiate. She might make some concessions on the rent for the next six months." 。"
Ms. Chen did not want to negotiate. If she wanted to negotiate, she wouldn't have consulted a lawyer." 。She just feels that since I paid a year's rent, I have to live for a whole year. 。
The landlord's position is that I only received half a year's rent from the platform, so naturally you are only allowed to live for six months. 。During his conversation with Ms. Chen, Shu Tinglan sensed a shift in her stance. He continued, "If you choose to pursue legal action, I can start preparing immediately. But you need to be mentally prepared because it will be time-consuming, laborious, and potentially expensive." 。If we go with negotiating with the landlord, I can call him now to discuss the details. 。My personal suggestion is to negotiate a compromise with the landlord. 。The landlord asked me to make up the rent for the second half of the year. 。This is something Ms. Chen cannot accept. 。I'll call her, just wait a moment. 。Shu Tinglan took her phone outside to make a call. In fact, before coming to meet Ms. Chen, she had contacted the landlord and persuaded him. Both sides compromised, only paying three months' rent. 。
The landlord was very torn at the time. 。Shū Tínglán advised, “Her child is only in second grade. At least she has to stay here for 4 more years.” 。If you evict them now and find new tenants in the meantime, if you rent it out a month later, you will lose one month's rent. Over the next four years, with several tenant changes in between, the loss will be far more than three months. 。And if the other party takes legal action, they can choose not to pay you a single penny. 。。It's best to try and resolve issues through negotiation rather than going to court, as time is the most valuable cost. 。The landlord just confirmed on the phone that he agreed to this plan, and Ms. Chen reluctantly agreed as well. Although she had to pay three months' rent in advance, she could directly sign a contract with the landlord without the platform taking a commission. In addition, the rental price for the next few years would be lower than the platform's listed price, which would actually save her money in the long run. 。After seeing off Ms. Chen, the intern Xiao Xin looked at Lawyer Shu with admiration. In her eyes, Lawyer Shu had easily resolved such a difficult matter in just a few words Shu Tinglan: "Focus on the key points. If you carefully help them calculate their accounts, you'll understand." 。"
What are the key points
"Child goes to school and needs long-term housing" 。"The intern Xiaoxing had a sudden realization." 。After finishing Ms. Chen's case, she opened the office door to air it out and looked up the publicity for that extreme experience center online, thinking she definitely had to visit it today. 。
The boss, Lawyer Sun, came over with a cup of tea to chat. Lawyer Sun is in his 40s, very skilled professionally, but lacks ambition. He's content with modest wealth and has already retired early. 。His daily work is to handle business matters, assigning them to lawyers under his command. Unless it's a major case, he won't get involved himself. 。Shu Tinglan was the exact opposite. She had two little kids at home who depended on her, so she had to hustle for work, taking both big and small cases as long as they paid. 。
Lawyer Sun has one great quality: he doesn't have much of a career ambition, but he wholeheartedly supports Shu Tinglan in her pursuit. He even said privately that as long as she can hold on, he will let her manage the firm completely, and he would be happy to relax. 。She sipped her steaming tea slowly at her desk. 。"Was the rent issue resolved"
"It's solved." 。"Leave these small cases, like "
", for the interns to handle. Give the new recruits some opportunities, you know" 。Do everything yourself, you're not afraid of getting tired 。To entrust them with "
" is not reassuring. 。"
Ting Lan, you are great in every way, except for this one thing that needs to be changed." 。There are too many cases to finish, and you already have connections and experience now. It's time to plan your future direction seriously and focus on a specific field for in-depth development. 。Now taking on any small case is not beneficial to your future development. 。"Well, I know " 。She focuses primarily on commercial dispute cases, but she also takes on smaller civil cases. As long as there's a chance to make money, she doesn't let it pass her by. To her, money is security. 。"Are the two kids adjusting well to kindergarten"
"Very well, they've only been there a week and both the teachers and other children really like them" 。"Let's have lunch together. Your wife has been on strike these past few days and hasn't brought me work meals." 。"The restaurants outside...the food is bad and it's not clean. She doesn't care about me anymore, sigh!" Attorney Sun said with a sigh as he took his teacup and left. 。As is well known, Lawyer Sun is fond of health preservation. Occasionally eating takeout or dining at a restaurant is like eating poison to him. 。But he wouldn't eat, as going hungry would be bad for his stomach. So whenever his wife stopped bringing him food because she was on strike, he would go on review websites and look for restaurants with the highest ratings that looked the cleanest. 。Every time Shu Tinglan and Xiao Xin are together, they can benefit from each other and improve their diet a little. 。d, "Sisis either breaking up or on the way to a breakup. I'm so excited to see what her next one will be like." 。Ting Lan didn't seem to feel any pain, only the heartbroken boys who couldn't let go. 。...
