Lease Drafting and Review

A well-drafted lease agreement sets the foundation for a smooth landlord-tenant relationship. It outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties, covering rent payment terms, maintenance obligations, and lease duration. Borna assists landlords and tenants in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating lease agreements to ensure they comply with California laws and protect their interests. A properly structured lease can prevent future disputes and legal complications.

Eviction Proceedings (Unlawful Detainers) & Defense

Evictions in California must follow strict legal procedures. Landlords must provide proper notice and file an unlawful detainer lawsuit to remove a tenant legally. Tenants, on the other hand, may have defenses against eviction, such as retaliation, discrimination, or improper notice. Borna represents both landlords and tenants in eviction proceedings, ensuring that the process is handled efficiently and lawfully. If you are facing an eviction or need to remove a tenant, seeking legal counsel is essential.

Rent and Security Deposit Disputes

Disputes over rent increases, unpaid rent, and security deposits are common between landlords and tenants. California law regulates how and when landlords can increase rent, as well as how security deposits should be handled and returned. Borna helps clients navigate rent control laws, security deposit disputes, and unlawful withholding of funds. Whether you are a tenant seeking a deposit refund or a landlord dealing with unpaid rent, legal representation can protect your financial interests.

Commercial Lease Disputes

Commercial leases differ significantly from residential leases, often involving complex terms and significant financial stakes. Disputes may arise over lease violations, rent payments, property maintenance, or early lease termination. Borna provides expert legal representation for commercial landlords and tenants, helping resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Understanding your rights and obligations in a commercial lease can prevent costly legal battles.

Mobilehome Residency Law

Mobilehome residency laws in California offer unique protections to mobile homeowners and park owners. Issues such as lease agreements, rent increases, park rules, and eviction procedures are governed by the Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL). Whether you are a mobile homeowner facing eviction or a park owner dealing with tenant disputes, Borna provides legal assistance to ensure compliance with state regulations and protect your rights.
