Substantive Law

Landowner Liability

The ADC has formed a Landowner Liability Law Sub-committee to be chaired by Todd Wenzel of Ropers, Majeski and Laura Flynn of Low, Ball & Lynch. The committee will present educational seminars and meet periodically to discuss common areas of interest.

The first seminar will be a Brown Bag held on March 28, 2007 at the Sedgwick firm in San Francisco. The topic of this seminar will be "Ellis Act Evictions" - The Landlord's Trump Card to Eviction Controls -- Avoiding Liability Under Local Ordinances with guest speaker, Andrew Zacks of Zacks Utrecht & Leadbetter, PC. Please see the attached flyer for complete details and register today as space is limited.
During 2007, the committee expects to present more brown bag luncheons in areas such as: ADA Compliance, Rent Ordinances, "Mold" cases, as well as a basic half-day seminar on defending wrongful eviction and habitability claims. There is no cost to join if you are already an ADC member, but we ask that you please respond to this e-mail if you wish to be added to this new Sub-Law Committee. Membership in the committee will provide networking opportunities and will allow members to keep abreast of related legislative issues, case opinions and verdicts. Additionally, there is a communication opportunity for the committee via the ADC Web Site through the discussion forums, so be sure to log in and subscribe - www.adcnc.org.
