Landlords have rights under federal and state law. Our experienced provider lawyers are here to advise you on how and when to exercise your right
Everyone knows lawyers charge hundreds of dollars per hour. That’s why people hesitate to contact lawyers even though they know getting sound legal advice could help them avoid messy legal disputes and save tons of money.
Imagine if you could call a lawyer to get advice on an unlimited number of legal matters related to your rental business for less than $1.50 per day. Well, you don’t have to imagine. You just have to join LegalShield.
Renting a property you own to a stranger is risky. Unless you have a lawyer on your side making sure the documents you use provide maximum protection for your real estate investments. Getting sound legal advice at the beginning of a tenancy can dramatically decrease the chances of legal and financial headaches down the road.
Have a lawyer review the lease you’re using before you present it to a tenant. “Yeah, but legal advice costs a ton of money.” No it doesn’t. Join LegalShield and you can submit any documents starting at up to 15 pages each, for less than $1.50 per day. You now have zero excuses to not get the legal protection you need.
If you’re having a dispute with a tenant, a vendor or really anyone impacting your business, you can have your provider lawyer write letters on their firm letterhead or make calls on your behalf to negotiate settlements, resolve disputes or simply clarify confusing terms and conditions.
Here are some ways members use this plan benefit to help with their rentals.

Finding solutions to your legal issues doesn’t have to be stressful, complicated or expensive. LegalShield puts the power of legal representation within reach of any individual, family, or business. We work hard to make it easy, simple, and affordable to get the legal help you need, when you need it.
Instead of paying a lawyer by the hour, you pay a small fee (starting at $26.95/month) and have access to an independent lawyer that will provide a huge variety of legal services without a huge legal bill. Services like consultation with a lawyer, document review, drafting of debt collection letters and defense at civil trials are included as standard benefits. Using the plan just once can save you literally thousands of dollars.
Using the plan is as simple as signing up and contacting our team. Once you’re a member, customer support will connect you with an independent lawyer in your area who specializes in the specific legal issue with which you need help. Also, you can download our super-simple app to quickly access your legal benefits and member perks anytime.
You can use your plan as soon as your membership application is reviewed and your account is set up. The review process takes 12-24 hours (or less) from the moment you purchase your plan (on regular business days). Once accepted, you can be in contact with a lawyer and begin to use the plan benefits and member perks outlined in the membership agreement right away.
The average lawyer in the U.S. charges between $150-$400 per hour. If you use your membership for even just a few hours a year you could easily save over $1,000. If you have a bunch of small legal issues or one rather complicated issue, you can easily save multiple thousands of dollars over hiring a lawyer directly. Not to mention the stress you’ll save by having a lawyer on call instead of trying to handle legal issues yourself. Also, the lawyers in our network often help our members recover thousands of dollars of damages or avoid thousands of dollars in fees over what they would have experienced had they tried to resolve the legal issue themselves. Obviously, every member and usage situation is different, but when used correctly, your membership can easily save significant amounts of money. Not to mention savings from our member perks.
Our Personal Plans are really family plans. You, your spouse or partner and your eligible dependents living at home, on select plans, are covered under one membership.
There is more information about this on the Personal Plans Coverage & Pricing Page.
One of the two most valuable and commonly used benefits of a LegalShield plan is the ability to get unlimited legal advice and to have your provider lawyer review documents. If you’re having a landlord/tenant dispute, simply contact LegalShield and your provider lawyer can review your lease agreement or any other relevant documents (starting at 15 pages each) and provide advice. Once they have all the information, your provider lawyer can help you understand your rights and your chances of getting your demands met. Also, if you have a winning argument, your provider lawyer can take action on your behalf, like making a call or writing a letter to the tenant, to help resolve the issue in your favor.
