Landlord/Tenant Law is All We Do
Brennan Law Firm represents all levels of real estate investors, from institutional investors to property managers to “mom & pops”, providing quality and affordable legal services that are client-centered and results-oriented. Our practice areas encompass landlord/tenant transactions and disputes, from lease negotiations to evictions and civil litigation. Let’s discuss your case.
Evictions & Litigation
Evictions
If you are a landlord or property manager, at some point, you will likely face the difficult – and potentially costly – situation of an unwanted tenant who refuses to leave. Once your best efforts are exhausted, the only remedy is eviction.
Evicting unwanted tenants can be stressful, complex, and costly if not managed correctly. Moreover, California’s landlord/tenant laws and local “rent control” ordinances all require strict adherence; even a minor misstep can ruin your case, allowing your unwanted tenant to linger rent-free for months.
Brennan Law Firm has a deep understanding of the California court system and the eviction process. As a result, our firm offers proactive strategies to protect your assets while effectively minimizing the loss of income effectively. In addition, our comprehensive experience and knowledge of unlawful detainer actions allow us to anticipate the tenants’ next move in a manner that puts you back in control of your unit as fast as the courts allow.
When it comes to evicting tenants in California, no other firm is faster than Brennan Law Firm. Period.
Litigation
We’re More Than Eviction Litigators.
Let’s face it, some firms focus on litigation, and others don’t. Our firm has earned a reputation as one of the most aggressive litigation firms in the industry, with an unmatched success rate. We have the experience required to navigate the landscape of active litigation, and there is nothing we enjoy more than developing strategies to represent our clients.
Anyone who’s been a landlord understands California’s significant number of laws, ordinances, and regulations make it easy to end up in a lawsuit. Add to it the growing number of Tenant Rights Organizations, Tenant Unions, and Housing Departments, and the odds become increasingly stacked against property owners.
Between Fair Housing complaints, Regulatory Compliance actions, Small Claims cases, and now, California’s new “Anti-Tenant-Harassment” measures, landlords face an enormous risk of being involved in litigation. If this happens to you, we will be here to help.
