Our Real Estate Dispute Defense Practice
We handle the defense of a broad range of real estate claims, including:
- Breach of the warranty of habitability. We defend residential and commercial landlords sued by tenants for the existence of conditions such as lack of heat, broken windows, mold, pests or lack of electricity that allegedly render the premises uninhabitable.
- Land movement or landslides. We defend homeowners, as well as contractors, in cases that might be brought by other homeowners or homeowner associations concerning land movement as a result of negligent construction, over irrigation or other claims of improper grading or irrigation, or other activity that could cause soil movement. We will protect the rights of both homeowners and contractors who have been sued on any type of claim of either negligent construction or negligent property maintenance that might have resulted in soil movement.
- Homeowner and homeowner association (HOA) disputes. We defend encroachment actions, where neighbors allege that trees or roots have wrongly grown on their property or that fences have been wrongfully placed onto neighboring property. We defend HOAs in cases involving personal injury, failure to maintain property or failure to enforce covenants, conditions and restrictions (C, C and R).
- Mold damage. We represent builders, sellers and landowners in cases involving allegations of toxic mold, including claims arising from water intrusion, broken pipes, leaking roofs and improper irrigation.
- Failure to disclose known defects. We defend real estate brokers and sellers in cases involving allegations of failure to disclose known defects, such as mold, leaking roofs, faulty plumbing or wiring, to a buyer.
- Nuisance or trespass. We handle the defense of claims involving trespass that could cause either property damage or bodily harm as the result of an alleged wrongful entry onto someone else's property. We also defend nuisance claims made by one neighbor against other neighbors on issues such as noise, noxious fumes or other improper conduct, or the maintenance of property by one neighbor that impacts the property of the adjacent neighbor
If we feel that an out-of-court resolution would be best for you, we will certainly pursue alternative dispute resolution.
