    We have substantial knowledge about real estate contracts and property rights, helping California clients: draft rental leases, resolve landlord-tenant disputes, evict nonpaying tenants, successfully defend against unjust evictions, demand return of security deposits, collect from nonpaying tenants and help landlords maintain the profitability of their properties.

  • RESOLVING AN EVICTION CRISIS

    Eviction is disruptive to both the landlord and the tenant. The Law Firm 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 the business enterprise.

  • RETURNING A SECURITY DEPOSIT

    California law specifies the usage, retention and return of security deposits. If your landlord fails to follow these strict regulations, the Law Firm of Ivan P. Cohen can help collect what is due the tenant. We pursue the most cost-effective route of demanding payment from your landlord. If necessary, the Law Office of Ivan P. Cohen assertively defend the tenant’s rights in court.
