Eric H. Zumbach

Before becoming a lawyer, I was a librarian—specifically, a subject cataloger, responsible for receiving new books, determining their subjects, and deciding where to place them in our iteration of the Library of Congress cataloging system.

Being a librarian taught me skills that I use every day in legal practice: I receive a case, unknown to me as a new book. I look things over, determine the issues, and decide how to move forward. And, most importantly, if ever in doubt, then I sit down and read.

Housing

Our attorneys have experience in all facets of landlord-tenant issues. We represent landlords with drafting leases, tenant disputes, eviction actions, repair claims, fair housing and fair housing complaints. We also represent management companies. The housing attorneys at Rinke Noonan have professional relationships with legal aid attorneys, the courts and other tenant advocates. We do not represent tenants.

We help our clients comply with the intricate regulations and laws surrounding the Violence Against Women Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Housing Act and HUD regulations. Our landlord-tenant lawyers also counsel on issues related to criminal screening and assistance animals.
