We provide in-depth analysis of allegations related to civil rights and fair housing violations, including discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, and disability. We also evaluate landlord conduct, property conditions, and disputes involving the loss of rent-controlled or rent-stabilized housing. In these cases, we help quantify damages by assessing the economic impact of displacement and the loss of long-term housing affordability, offering clear, fact-based testimony on tenant-landlord standards and practices.
We investigate and assess claims of housing discrimination under federal, state, and local fair housing laws. Our analysis includes review of application and screening practices, advertising language, tenancy decisions, reasonable accommodation and modification requests, and patterns of disparate treatment or impact. We provide expert opinions on whether actions or policies align with accepted standards of property management and fair housing practices.
We evaluate the behavior and responsibilities of landlords in the context of tenant rights, lease obligations, and housing code requirements. This includes analysis of eviction practices, habitability issues, repair and maintenance responsiveness, security deposit handling, and potential harassment or retaliatory conduct. Our expertise helps assess whether landlords operated in accordance with professional norms and ethical expectations in property management and tenant relations.
We analyze disputes involving rent-controlled and rent-stabilized units, including unlawful deregulation, overcharges, improper lease renewals, and tenant displacement. Our evaluations focus on regulatory compliance, historical rent records, and the economic impact of losing protected housing status. We assist in quantifying damages and establishing whether tenant protections were appropriately maintained or violated.
