Real Estate Legal Expertise

Nearly every real estate transaction involves lengthy legal documentation designed to clarify rights and obligations, yet these documents often create confusion and misunderstanding. Disputes may arise in any type of real estate matter, including breaches of agreement, unlawful possession by legal heirs, document forgery, unfulfilled promises regarding the condition of property, or the need to evict a non-cooperative tenant.

Our law firm comprises highly qualified and experienced lawyers with in-depth knowledge of the laws and regulations governing real estate in Pakistan. We provide comprehensive legal services to property owners, developers, investors, financiers, contractors, landlords, and tenants on a wide range of issues involving immovable property. Our work includes drafting and reviewing sale agreements, lease and management contracts, tenancy and rent agreements, Sale Deeds, Conveyance Deeds, and Gift Deeds. We also negotiate contractual terms on behalf of clients to ensure their interests are protected.

Additionally, we assist clients in completing property transactions and offer strategic legal advice and commercial solutions to developers, contractors, and engineering firms. Our guidance spans all phases of construction and development projects—ensuring legal compliance and safeguarding our clients’ interests from inception to completion.

Litigation, Possession & Dispute Resolution

In litigation concerning immovable properties, our firm possesses extensive expertise in filing and defending suits for Specific Performance, Declarations, Cancellations, Injunctions, Possessions, and Partitions, along with handling their related Appeals, Revisions, and Reviews. We have built a strong track record of protecting our clients' property rights by swiftly obtaining restraining and stay orders from the competent courts.

At Qadeer & Zaheer (Advocates & Legal Consultants), we provide expert legal advice, negotiation support, and court representation for both landlords and tenants facing legal disputes, regulatory issues, or enforcement actions related to rented property. As the rental sector grows in urban centers like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, tenancy-related conflicts have become increasingly frequent and often emotionally and financially draining for both parties involved.

Whether you're a landlord facing non-payment of rent or unauthorized occupancy, or a tenant facing unlawful eviction or harassment, our firm offers sound legal remedies to protect your rights and achieve practical resolutions under the relevant tenancy laws in Pakistan.

Understanding the Problem

Conflicts between landlords and tenants can arise from a wide range of issues, including:

  • Non-payment or delayed payment of rent
  • Illegal eviction or lockouts
  • Unlawful possession and overstaying after lease expiry
  • Damage to property or violation of tenancy terms
  • Security deposit disputes
  • Refusal to vacate despite court orders
  • Failure to renew or register tenancy agreements
  • Harassment, threats, or intimidation
  • Denial of maintenance or essential amenities

These disputes are often governed by local tenancy control laws, such as the Sindh Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979, the Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009, and similar statutes in other provinces. In most cases, specialized Rent Controllers or Civil Courts have exclusive jurisdiction over such matters, and parties must follow specific legal procedures for redressal.

Our Legal Services for Landlords

Our firm helps landlords assert and protect their rights through comprehensive legal services, including:

  • Filing eviction suits against defaulting tenants
  • Pursuing recovery of rent arrears or damages for property misuse
  • Drafting, reviewing, and registering rent/lease agreements

  • Representation before Rent Controllers and Civil Courts
  • Obtaining execution of eviction decrees
  • Advice on renewal, extension, or termination of tenancy agreements
  • Assistance with police complaints in cases of illegal possession or violence

We ensure that all procedural formalities, including notice requirements, evidence submission, and court filings, are meticulously handled for a strong and enforceable legal case.

Our Legal Services for Tenants

We also represent tenants who are facing unlawful or premature eviction, harassment, or rights violations. Our services include:

  • Challenging illegal eviction notices
  • Defending against eviction suits based on false claims
  • Negotiating fair rent terms and extensions
  • Securing the return of security deposits
  • Legal protection against forcible dispossession
  • Filing applications for lease renewal or rent adjustment
