Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
What is a tenants recourse to force a case to trial when the landlord repeatedly files Unlawful Detainer Complaints and then dismisses them at the last minute?
Is there a way to push to have the case heard?
What if the tenant files a Motion for Summary Judgment?
And is there a way to recover all the fees paid, including for the cases that the landlord dismissed?
What about bringing an Anti-SLAPP suit against the landlord and attorney?

UD cases are not lawsuits against public participation. If the landlord is filing and then dismissing the cases often enough and for no good purpose, eventually you will have a malicious prosecution case against them.
