San Francisco landlords operate under one of the most complex and highly regulated landlord-tenant legal frameworks in the country. Local rent control laws, just cause eviction requirements, relocation payment rules, and procedural restrictions often go beyond California state law.
Even experienced property owners can encounter significant delays or liability when San Francisco–specific requirements are not followed precisely.
Steven Adair MacDonald & Partners represents San Francisco landlords in eviction matters and related landlord-tenant disputes where local knowledge and procedural accuracy are essential.
Our attorneys regularly handle Unlawful Detainer cases involving nonpayment of rent, lease violations, owner move-in evictions, Ellis Act withdrawals, and other matters governed by San Francisco’s Rent Ordinance and applicable state law.
Facing a San Francisco Eviction or Landlord-Tenant Dispute?
We represent San Francisco property owners in evictions and related disputes, helping you navigate strict local regulations and California law with clarity and precision.
Navigating San Francisco’s Local Housing Regulations
San Francisco imposes detailed rules on notices, filing timelines, relocation obligations, and tenant protections that can materially affect how an eviction or dispute proceeds. Many standard eviction strategies used elsewhere in California do not apply in San Francisco or require additional steps to remain valid.
Our team is familiar with how San Francisco’s local ordinances interact with state statutes and court procedures. We work with landlords to ensure that notices, filings, and litigation steps are handled correctly from the outset, reducing the risk of dismissal or prolonged disputes.
Strategic Legal Guidance for San Francisco Property Owners
San Francisco landlords often seek legal counsel after encountering conflicting information or discovering that a previously issued notice is no longer enforceable. We focus on providing clear, fact-based guidance so property owners understand their legal options, potential exposure, and realistic timelines under San Francisco law.
Some matters proceed through formal litigation, while others resolve through negotiated outcomes. Each case begins with a careful review of the facts and the regulatory framework governing the property.
