Landlord/Tenant

Wesierski and Zurek enjoys an outstanding reputation from San Diego to San Luis Obispo and out to the San Bernardino desert.

Our attorneys have extensive trial experience in the representation of landlords in unlawful detainer actions, including defenses that tenants may raise involving issues of habitability, retaliation, housing authority or rent control rules and regulations, as well as the possible effects of a bankruptcy petition by a tenant.

Our attorneys also have extensive trial experience in the defense of landlords in lawsuits brought by tenants on issues including alleged discrimination or other violations of the Fair Housing laws, claims that conditions on the apartment property are not in compliance with regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, conditions on the property allegedly making rental units uninhabitable, as well as any claims of injury or damage to any tenants because of any claimed dangerous condition on the property.

Most of our client base has come from word of mouth and some companies have called because they have noticed the Firm’s results in jury reports.
