Stopping Eviction
In San Francisco, there are 15 grounds for a landlord to evict a tenant from a rent- controlled apartment or flat. Landlords know them all, and sometimes they stretch the law or break it in order to free up an apartment and raise the rent. James Coy Driscoll has been a tenants' lawyer since 1991, protecting tenants from evictions. We use the law to protect the rights and homes of our clients. Whether you are engaged in a lease dispute, an eviction process, or have questions about your rights, we are here to help you.
In numerous cases, we have stopped evictions and illegal landlord practices. Even when a landlord's eviction attempt appears to comply with the law, our aggressive defense of a client's interests can result in a significant cash settlement for the tenant. However, there is no guarantee as to your particular results. You should hire a skillful attorney to represent your interests in any settlement discussions with your landlord.
