My goal is to solve your legal problem efficiently and economically.
Buying an apartment building is a big investment. Smart investors know that consulting with a lawyer before signing a contract is the best way to prevent legal problems from arising later on.
I can help you understand your rights, protect them, and avoid costly mistakes by:
Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood have their own rent control laws. Each city regulates rent increases and limits the grounds for evicting tenants, but the details of their respective laws differ.
If you’re in the process of buying an apartment building, you should first determine whether it is subject to a local rent control law. If it is, I can explain the governing rent control law to you so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not to buy in a particular area. If you already own, I can help you craft a strategy to help you maximize rents or remove problem tenants.
Understanding Landlord Rights and Responsibilities. Landlords must understand their rights and responsibilities with respect to renting their units and dealing with tenants. Those who don’t tend to make costly mistakes. If you consult with me, I can teach you how to avoid common landlord blunders.
If you haven’t selected a real estate agent, I can help you select the most qualified person to represent you in your purchase. I am also a licensed California real estate broker. If you work with someone that I refer you to, that agent can pay me a referral fee, which may cover or help offset the cost of legal services I provide.
