Landlord Tenant Law
Landlord tenant law can be convoluted and confusing, resulting in a lot of misplaced time, energy, and funds. If you’re facing an eviction, property damage, or unlawful detainer case, Krankemann Petersen, LLP can help you navigate your legal issues and protect your rights. With over 50 years of combined experience, our lawyers and partners are well-established in their field and capable of providing guidance and trial representation, no matter what you need.
There are a number of issues that can leave you in dire straits, financially and otherwise. A sudden eviction can severely impact your life, as can a suit involving property damage. If, for example, there’s mold in a rental that results in additional damage, you may find yourself on the line to pay those damages through no fault of your own. While the mold may have come from your actions, it could also be an existing building issue, and your rights as a tenant should be protected. Furthermore, if you suffer health issues due to mold growth, you may have further cause for damages. As experts in personal injury, worker’s compensation, and landlord tenant law, the attorneys of Krankemann Petersen are available to review your case and determine whether you’re entitled to damages, a countersuit, and more. Making a claim or going to trial can be a stressful process, and it’s important to us to make sure we relieve you from that stress as much as possible, guiding you through the red tape and preparation. An unlawful detainer case can be particularly harmful, making it impossible for you to safely leave your home, which can cause lost wages or other financial burdens. No matter your circumstances, we want to help.
In addition to tenant’s rights claims, we also work on a number of habitability cases – cases involving whether or not landlords maintain a home to the laws and guidelines set by the State of California in order to make a home habitable. Damages in these and similar landlord tenant law cases can result in damages like returned rent, damages for physical harm and emotional stress, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and more. If you have issues and want to see your rights represented, please reach out to us. We are available for consultations and would love to hear from you.
