Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: Landlord and Tenant Question

I'm unclear on why you think that the property managers should defend you? They have nothing to do with your getting sued. After you prevail in the action, you might have grounds to sue the plaintiff for malicious prosecution and get your fees back that way, but the property management company has no responsibility for the tenant suing you.

Re: Landlord and Tenant Question

No, you cannot rely on the property managers to defend you. They are not practicing lawyers.

Why don't you scan, pdf, or fax met the complaint and I'll do my best to tell you whether or not you need an attorney.
