We have been privileged to assist a great number of people in our free legal clinic conducted for the month of May and appreciative of the many new friendships we’ve made and the renewal of others. If you or your clients have pressing questions and want peace of mind, we extend our arms once again and volunteer to
engage in a 15-minute consultation at no cost, for a limited time
.

It may be the nature of the media, if not human nature, to fasten onto what is wrong and not pay attention to what is right - after all, a visual fire of a residential building is more interesting and newsworthy than a building sitting there pristine with no incidents and residents walking their dogs outside.

the subject of our latest update

In another update
, we compare and contrast two state bills being incubated, one that would have disastrous consequences for the rental property industry and another piece of legislation that takes a more balanced approach by providing relief to rental property owners.
Finally, we set the broad strokes of a webinar planned for later this month, and since we don’t work on an island in disseminating information, share the
May newsletter
for our friends at the Small Property Owners of San Francisco.
Please be safe, and if there is anything we can do to instill certainty for your real estate business, we are all ears.
