Real Estate Lawyers Handling Landlord/Tenant Issues
Are you a landlord with problem tenants who are behind on their rent or are otherwise violating the terms of their lease?
The real estate attorneys of Anderlini, Finkelstein, Emerick & Smoot can help you iron out these issues so you can get the most out of your residential real estate holdings.
We take the legal steps necessary to encourage tenants to comply with the terms of their lease. If they still fail to do so, we initiate the eviction process so that the property can be leased to another tenant as soon as possible.
The Eviction Process
According to California landlord/tenant law, a landlord must give a tenant three days notice to pay back rent or the eviction process will begin. If the tenant has not paid the rent in full after three days have passed, we issue a 60-day notice of lease termination. The tenant then has 60 days to vacate the premises. If the tenant has not left the property within 60 days, we will file an unlawful detainer action and arrange for the sheriff's department to remove the tenant from the property.
Each step in the eviction process is governed by statute and must meet strict requirements. If any of the requirements are not met, the landlord loses the right to reclaim the property and must start the process all over again. We make sure we have all the evidence and documentation in place and prepared correctly.
A Rental Real Estate Boom
Because of the sub-prime lending crisis, rental property is now in high demand. If your property is not generating income or if your tenants are endangering the safety of others or damaging your property, it is important to take swift action.
