The rights and obligations of the residential tenants and landlords is a heavily regulated (and thus, litigated) area of law in California, particularly in the localities with the rent- and eviction-control ordinances enacted at the county or municipal levels. If the present set of rules and regulation were not enough to be concerned about, the fact that this body of law is constantly evolving and changing by both the courts and the legislators makes the practice similar to walking a minefield, ready to explode with a wrong move.
Most often, both tenants and landlords discover the above observation in the concept of an eviction, although the parties’ rights and obligations may certainly become affected in many other ways as well. But when it comes to the risk of losing your home, there is no substitute for having a legal specialist by your side. The laws involved are very technical and often are strictly applied; you will be better off by not trying to do it all alone.
Alex Volkov litigates evictions and claims for wrongful eviction since he became an attorney back in 2011. He represented landlords, tenants, subtenants, lodgers, licensors and licensees, former and subsequent owners, in a variety of concepts, in the cases for recovery of possession (usually termed as “unlawful detainer” or “forcible detainer”) and in the cases defending the tenant’s rights on the claims of “wrongful eviction.” This experience allows Alex to offer his clients clear and practical advice tailored to their unique situation and to analyze the potential of the case from an early stage.
