A host of federal, state, and local laws prohibit discrimination in the residential (and commercial) landlord-tenant area. In the rental of “housing accommodations”, guide, signal or service dogs required by blind or visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing, or physically disabled tenants may not be prohibited, regardless of the landlord’s normal pet policies.
On April 16, 2019, the Santa Barbara City Council approved ordinances requiring mandatory 12-month leases and “just cause” eviction. The City is working to finalize the proposed ordinances. The result will be that landlords generally cannot evict unwanted tenants based on the typical thirty-day or sixty-day notice.
Through a program developed by the late Judge J. William McLafferty, the responsibility for conducting Mandatory Settlement Conferences has been delegated to senior attorneys experienced in their substantive areas of law as well as in Alternative Dispute Resolution processes such as Mediation.
Gisele Goetz has joined Hollister & Brace as a principal attorney and Thomas Thornton has joined as an associate attorney.
