Tenant's Rights

Your living situation can affect your ability to work, cause high stress, and leave you in unsafe or dangerous conditions. Many of these effects are caused by negligent or unresponsive landlords. If you are a tenant living in hazardous, unsafe conditions, or if your landlord is in violation of a lease agreement or ordinance, you deserve compensation and remedial action. Michael Blacksburg is an experienced tenant's rights attorney dedicated to protecting the residential tenants in the San Francisco, California area.

Contact Michael Blacksburg today for more information about your rights and how to protect yourself or for assistance with any of the following:

• Tenant rights
• Landlord tenant disputes
• Habitability warranties
• Mold
• Wrongful evictions
• Rent control issues
• Failure to repair
• Breach of lease
• Security failures
• Landlord/Property manager entering without notice
• Landlord harassment
• Failure to return security deposit

San Francisco, Berkeley, and East Bay ordinances give tenants the increased ability to enforce their rights against their landlords. If you were wrongfully evicted or otherwise treated unfairly by a landlord in violation of an ordinance, you may be able to recover attorney fees in addition to any costs incurred when you were forced to move out. You also may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering.

If your landlord has failed to make repairs after repeated requests, refused to return your security deposit without explanation, entered your apartment without notice, or has breached your lease, you need an attorney who will protect your rights and recover the compensation you deserve.
