Grudges are part of any personal or business relationships. It’s a lesson that most landlords learn when tenants bring or threaten lawsuits over old grievances in a bid to get out of their lease, stall an eviction, or otherwise increase their leverage over you in a current dispute. Defending yourself against ancient claims isn’t easy. Memories fade, witnesses disappear, and documents vanish into oblivion. That’s why you should give serious thought to limiting how much time tenants have to sue you for purported lease violations.
