In many cities in the Bay Area a landlord cannot evict a tenant or try to evict a tenant without having a just cause as his or her dominant reason for pursuing the eviction. If a landlord does not have a just cause but still attempts to make a tenant vacate or does in fact cause a tenant to involuntarily vacate their home, the landlord can be liable to the tenant and the tenant can receive monetary compensation.
Humphreys Joiner Law Group, LLP represents tenants who have been wrongfully evicted by their landlords, as well as tenants whose landlords have attempted to wrongfully evict them. In most situations, we take these kinds of cases on a contingency basis, meaning you pay costs but you do not pay attorneys’ fees unless the case settles or you prevail at trial.
