Landlord-Tenant Attorney in San Diego

Renting in the City of San Diego comes with an extra layer of rules. The San Diego Tenant Protection Ordinance adds protections beyond the statewide Tenant Protection Act, including just-cause requirements and relocation assistance that is often higher than state law requires. Landlords who miss these rules risk losing an eviction case; tenants who don’t know them may leave money on the table.

​

Germani Law represents landlords and tenants in San Diego Superior Court in unlawful detainer cases, wrongful eviction claims, habitability disputes, rent increase disputes, and security deposit cases.

Why Local Experience Matters

San Diego’s judges, local rules, and ordinance requirements shape how these cases are won and lost. Stephanie serves on the executive committee of the California Lawyers Association Real Property Law Section and teaches at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego.
