Leverage our Extensive Experience

Few law firms possess the level of experience we bring to landlord-tenant matters. With over 100,000 unlawful detainer actions (evictions) litigated across California, our proven track record speaks for itself. We have successfully assisted clients with virtually every type of landlord-tenant issue. Additionally, our landlord-tenant attorneys have lectured extensively on critical topics such as rent control compliance, just cause for eviction and fair housing laws. This depth of experience has enabled us to develop unmatched proficiency in all areas of the landlord-tenant relationship.

Many of our attorneys have dedicated their careers exclusively to landlord-tenant law, offering specialized knowledge and exceptional attention to detail that larger, more generalized firms simply cannot match. It’s this expertise that has earned the trust of some of the nation’s leading property management companies and financial institutions.

Efficient Solutions for Property Owners and Managers

Property owners and managers often encounter challenges that can be resolved without resorting to costly or time-consuming litigation. Our firm is dedicated to helping you address these matters promptly and effectively:

Enforcing the Terms of the Tenancy

Tenants can violate lease terms in numerous ways, but resolving these violations doesn’t always require legal action. In many cases, a well-crafted letter from a California landlord-tenant attorney requesting the tenant to remedy the violation is sufficient. Our goal is to avoid lengthy litigation by pursuing an amicable resolution on your behalf. Often, tenants willingly address the issue after receiving formal notice. If the violation cannot be resolved through communication, we are prepared to assist with drafting the necessary legal notice or initiating the eviction process.

Documenting Settlements and Resolutions

When disputes arise during a tenancy, the parties may come to a resolution that requires proper documentation. Our firm can assist in drafting and formalizing these agreements. We prepare enforceable settlement agreements, stipulations, and lease addenda that clearly outline each party’s rights and responsibilities, ensuring the resolution is legally binding and protects your interests.

Dealing With Abandoned Personal Property

When tenants vacate or are evicted, they sometimes leave behind personal belongings. Navigating the proper procedures for disposition of abandoned property can be challenging, but our firm is here to guide you through the process. We assist landlords in managing the disposal of abandoned items in compliance with California law, ensuring all legal requirements are met. By following the correct procedures, landlords can minimize risks and protect themselves from potential liability, allowing them to focus on their property’s management with confidence.
