You May Not Own It, But It's Home
Eviction is the means by which a landlord can legally get you to move out. Being forced to move is scary, time consuming and, in some cases, an injustice. If you do nothing to stop it, you may have 30 days to move or you will be locked out. If you contact us, you may have two or more months, depending on your situation.
Did your landlord apply proper collections practice? Are you disabled? Is the landlord foreclosing? These are questions that may help your cause. The Law Office of Matthew Gary Evans will help you fight for your tenant rights.
If you have an eviction dispute, make an appointment with a lawyer who cares and is experienced with resolving tenant-landlord disputes at 626-376-9874 .
Resolving Eviction Disputes
Eviction usually starts with a notice, then goes to a lawsuit called an "unlawful detainer." Your landlord cannot evict you without this court order, nor do anything to spoil enjoyment of your home. Tenants have 5 calendar days, including weekends, to respond to an unlawful detainer complaint.
Beyond eviction disputes, landlord-tenant disputes involve a range of issues, including rent increases, repairs, use of the property, and return of security deposits.
If there is a way to resolve without involving the courts, through mediation as an alternative, you both can discuss issues and resolve without paying the high costs of litigation. If coming to an agreement through mediation, we will help you find alternatives.
