Bay Area Tenant Law

Bay Area Tenant Law is the tenant-side practice of attorney Richard C. Koman, who has represented California tenants for eighteen years. The firm handles habitability problems such as mold, water intrusion, no heat, and infestations, along with wrongful or illegal eviction, landlord retaliation, and recovery of security deposits. Cases on eligible habitability and wrongful-eviction claims are handled with no fee unless money is recovered for the tenant.

The office is at Baywood Drive in Petaluma, and the practice takes cases for tenants in Sonoma, Marin, and San Francisco counties. A first call is a free twenty-minute consultation, and the attorney will say plainly whether there appears to be a case. The website also offers a free online case checker that identifies which California protections a tenant's facts touch.
