San Francisco Fair Housing Expert
Rents have skyrocketed in San Francisco, so have the number of evictions. In the current environment, construction issues often become entangled with illegal evictions. Repair violations can become part of a pattern of harassment to make the rental unit uninhabitable. Cases often come down to understanding the reasonable costs and construction timelines for repairs. Mr. Kearney is an expert in San Francisco housing laws related to landlord petitions and passthroughs, construction and renovation of units, and illegal units.
