    Issues Surrounding Emotional Support Animals (ESA Animals) and Landlord-Tenant Rights and Obligations

    June 17, 2019/0 Comments/in Home /by Hollister & Brace

    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.

    Individual Tort Liability of Officers and Directors

    October 9, 2013/in Home /by Hollister & Brace

    Liability and Damages for Wrongful Trimming or Erection and Maintenance of Trees and Hedges

    Property owners in and around Santa Barbara are famous, and sometimes infamous, for erecting and maintaining hedges and trees for privacy, shade, and other reasons. Although property owners—and often their neighbors—do not know it, wrongful trimming, removal, or even erection and maintenance of a tree or hedge may be a very expensive and regretful decision.

    Important Tips on Maintaining your Title Insurance

    August 3, 2013/in Home /by Marcus Bird

    birdMarcus022Title insurance is somewhat like oxygen, you don’t really pay much attention to it, but when you come to a situation where you realize that you need it, you really need it.

    I have represented title insurance companies and their insureds for well over a decade.  The difference for clients between having valid title insurance and not having valid title insurance has amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees and costs defending lawsuits filed by their neighbors.

    Some of the issues I have handled that have been covered by title insurance include: (1) a claim that there was a forgery in the chain of title 20 years before my clients purchased the property and thus they did not have valid title (after I took the plaintiff’s deposition, his attorney promptly dismissed the case); (2) a claim that a neighbor had adversely terminated a deeded exclusive easement for landscaping, recreation and fencing, and that the exclusive easement violated the Subdivision Map Act (we established at trial, with the judgment upheld on appeal, that the easement did not violate the subdivision Map Act, and the easement had not been terminated); and (3) a claim that although my client had been using a roadway on his neighbor’s property for over decade, my client had no valid easement and thus no access at all to his property (this case is still pending).
