Deceptive Practices by a Real Estate Agent

I was misled by a property agent about using a combined home-office. How can I resolve the conflict and stop enforcement of a shutdown on my legal business?

In a past experience with misleading representations by an agent, I found that carefully documenting all interactions and written communications was invaluable. I retained every email and promotional material used during our discussions to establish a clear pattern of misrepresentation. Consulting a knowledgeable attorney in real estate law provided clarity on my rights and the necessary legal steps to challenge any improper enforcement actions. In addition, approaching local authorities to verify the legality of my business setup added a layer of official support that strengthened my case.

Have you thought about approaching a consumer protection agency? I wonder if mediation might be an alternative to legal battles. What are others’ experiences with navigating such regulatory issues?
