Dispute Resolution Center has helped landlords and tenants resolve disputes for over 25 years. Common examples of conflicts we help resolve peacefully include:
- Repairs
- Rent/deposits
- Noise issues
- Privacy/access to rental
- Property
If you rent, manage or own a property in Snohomish, Island or Skagit Counties, call 800-280-4770 and we will discuss how disagreements can be resolved in one of two ways:
- Through phone conciliation services the Dispute Resolution Center, by acting as a neutral third party, will work with you and the other party to find a resolution to the dispute over the phone; or
- Through mediation the Dispute Resolution Center will guide a formal process that allows the two of you to meet and talk through your dispute with the help of two neutral mediators.
Sometimes, resolving conflict is just a matter of getting the two parties to communicate, listen, and understand the other’s perspective. Once this happens, the parties usually arrive at a mutually satisfying agreement. Dispute Resolution Center can assist you in creating resolutions to meet the needs of everyone involved.
