Shrewsbury Real Estate and Land Use Dispute Lawyers
Real estate transactions and land use issues can be complicated, high-stakes matters. Whether you are buying or selling property, leasing commercial space, or navigating zoning regulations, conflicts can arise that threaten your investment, your business, or your personal property rights. When disputes occur, having experienced legal counsel is critical to protecting your interests and resolving the matter efficiently.
At Sanvenero & Cittadino, LLC, we represent clients in all types of property litigation. Our Shrewsbury real estate and land use dispute lawyers bring practical knowledge, strategic insight, and years of experience to help clients resolve conflicts involving commercial leases, property boundaries, land use approvals, and more.
Understanding Real Estate and Land Use Litigation
Real estate litigation encompasses disputes related to property ownership, leases, zoning, and land development. These disputes often involve complex contracts, competing claims of rights, and regulatory considerations. Because the stakes are high both financially and operationally, resolving these disputes requires skilled legal guidance.
Land use litigation involves an additional layer of complexity. Zoning, permitting, and local municipal regulations can affect what you can do with your property and how disputes must be resolved. Our attorneys are experienced in navigating these regulations and in representing clients before local planning boards, zoning boards, and in court when necessary.

Expertise in Commercial Lease Disputes
Commercial leases are central to many business operations, and disputes over lease agreements are among the most common real estate conflicts we handle. These agreements often involve substantial financial commitments and complex legal obligations, including rent, maintenance responsibilities, property improvements, renewal options, and default provisions.
Disputes may arise in several ways:
- Nonpayment or late payment of rent – Landlords may pursue eviction or collection actions, while tenants may assert defenses or counterclaims.
- Breach of lease terms – Conflicts over obligations such as maintenance, insurance, or permitted use of the property.
- Security deposits and financial obligations – Disputes over retention, return, or application of security deposits and other funds.
- Lease renewal and termination – Disagreements over exercising renewal options or terminating the lease before its expiration.
Our attorneys review lease agreements carefully, advise clients on their rights and obligations, and represent them in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Our goal is to resolve conflicts efficiently while protecting our clients’ interests and preserving business operations whenever possible.
Land Use and Zoning Matters
Navigating New Jersey’s zoning and land use regulations can be challenging for both property owners and developers. Whether you are seeking approvals for a new development, a variance, or a special use permit, or you are defending against a municipality’s enforcement action, legal expertise is essential.
Sanvenero & Cittadino, LLC assists clients in:
- Obtaining zoning approvals and variances – Guiding property owners and developers through local planning and zoning processes.
- Handling municipal challenges – Representing clients in disputes over zoning compliance, municipal enforcement, or land development approvals.
- Appeals and litigation – Pursuing or defending appeals related to land use decisions, variances, or municipal denials.
Our attorneys understand the local regulations and procedures in Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex counties and can navigate the administrative and legal requirements to achieve the best outcomes for our clients.
Why Real Estate Disputes Require Experienced Counsel
Real estate and land use disputes can escalate quickly, potentially resulting in financial loss, operational disruptions, or damage to personal and business relationships. The law governing these matters is detailed and nuanced, including statutes, case law, municipal ordinances, and local zoning regulations.
Having experienced legal counsel ensures that your interests are fully protected. Our attorneys provide a comprehensive analysis of contracts, agreements, and property interests. We offer strategic guidance to minimize risk and resolve disputes efficiently, including representation in all forums from negotiation tables and administrative hearings to state courts and appellate proceedings. We work to achieve practical solutions tailored to our clients’ objectives, whether that involves enforcing a lease, defending against claims, or negotiating a resolution that avoids litigation.

We know how to leverage these processes to protect our clients’ interests and achieve favorable outcomes without the delays and expenses of full-scale litigation. At the same time, we prepare every case as though it could go to trial, ensuring our clients are fully protected if disputes escalate.
