We successfully bring tenants comfort that they are living in a stable, well-maintained home, while preserving the profits and equity of landlords.

Drafting Solid Leases for Property Owners
Both landlords and tenants can avoid potential problems by having a well-drafted contract that enumerates all rental terms. The Law Office of Ivan P.

When a lease is presented to a prospective tenant, the landlord will feel confident that the agreement is in compliance with California law and the landlord’s rights are protected should a dispute arise.
Protecting Tenant’s Rights to Return of Security Deposits
California law specifies the usage, retention and return of security deposits. If your landlord fails to follow these strict regulations, the Law Office of Ivan P.

Resolving an Eviction Crisis
Eviction is disruptive to both the landlord and the tenant. The landlord must spend the time and money to replace tenants who fall behind on rent, and displaced families must locate a new home under traumatic circumstances. With this scenario in mind, the Law Office of Ivan P. Cohen help mediate disputes when eviction is undesirable. As a tenant who unfairly faces eviction, we protect the rights to remain in the leased premises. As a landlord whose tenants are engaged in disruptive, illegal or damaging behavior, we help protect the property and business.
