RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES:
While California law generally supports property owners’ rights, the state’s eviction procedures often favor tenants, creating potential delays and challenges for landlords. Tenants facing eviction may attempt to prolong the process by disputing the validity of the notice or service, or by raising claims of uninhabitable conditions or retaliatory eviction, even if these claims lack merit. Our legal team is prepared to handle all aspects of your eviction case, including:
- Drafting and serving all required notices, whether 3-day, 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day.
- Filing and serving the eviction lawsuit.
- Representing you in court throughout the entire process.
- Securing a judgment for possession of the property.
- Obtaining a judgment for any monetary damages you are owed.
COMMERCIAL TENANCIES :
Commercial leases offer landlords and property owners significantly greater protection and a broader range of rights compared to residential leases. This difference is particularly evident in areas such as habitability requirements, notices after foreclosure, rent increases, eviction notices, landlord access rights, and the ability to impose late fees.
While courts generally uphold the terms of commercial lease agreements, even those that may seem unfair or unreasonable to the tenant, eviction cases can present unique challenges. Even though the law generally favors the landlord in commercial lease disputes, the actual eviction process often involves procedural complexities that can favor the tenant. This means that while you may have a strong legal basis for eviction, navigating the procedures and potential delays requires careful attention and experienced legal counsel.
