Episode 51: Eviction Law and Squatters Rights, Featuring Niv Davidovich of Davidovich Stein Law Group LLP

Property Management Brainstorm

Eviction law in California has changed quite a bit over the past year, first with “just cause” legislation introduced as part of State Assembly Bill 1482, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, and then with moratoriums introduced as part of the Governor Gavin Newsome’s state orders by signing the Covid-19 Tenant Relief Act (AB2088) into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. On this episode, Bob speaks with Niv Davidovich, Managing Partner at Davidovich Stein Law Group LLP, to discuss landlord/tenant law, eviction law, and squatters rights in the age of COVID-19.
