Esteemed Landlord/Tenant Disputes Attorneys Representing Huntington Beach & Seal Beach Clients
If you are a landlord, you may be confronting tenants who are refusing to pay rent. Your lawyer can help demystify the law surrounding tenants’ rights so that you can evict non-paying tenants swiftly and with minimal time and expense. Similarly, tenants may be asserting that your property is uninhabitable and using this claim to justify non-payment of rent. California law dictates that tenants must adhere to strict legal requirements for this claim to be valid. Additionally, if you employed generic rental applications during your transaction(s) with your tenants, you may have unwittingly jeopardized your legal standing. These types of applications are often outdated and should not be used without first reviewing them with an experienced landlord/tenant attorney.
The Rights of Tenants
If you are a tenant, your skilled landlord/tenant dispute attorney can help protect your rights as well. There are numerous scenarios in which your rights may have been violated, including defective property (i.e. malfunctioning plumbing, smoke alarms, etc.), a failure to address the presence of mold, mildew and/or pests, the absence of heat, water and/or electricity, evictions without legal justification and/or various instances of premises liability.
