Attention Former Tenants

Your Security Deposit Rights May Have Been Violated

Lawsuits have recently been filed in the California Superior Court against several prominent property owners and management companies, including BLVD, MG Properties, Essex, AMC (American Management Consultants), and Sequoia Equities. These legal actions claim that these entities failed to adhere to California law concerning the handling of tenants’ security deposits at their respective properties.

If you were a tenant at any of the apartment complexes listed below, we urge you to get in touch with us. Our team of legal experts is committed to ensuring that your rights are protected and that you receive the security deposit you are rightfully owed.

As a former tenant, you may have questions such as:

Was my security deposit handled in accordance with California law?

To determine if your security deposit was handled according to California law, we’ll need to review the specific details of your case. The law requires landlords to return security deposits within 21 days after a tenant moves out, with an itemized statement of deductions if applicable. If your landlord or property management company didn’t follow these rules, they may have violated the law.

Do I have grounds for a claim against my former landlord?

You might have grounds for a claim against your former landlord or property management company if they failed to comply with California law regarding security deposits. Examples of such violations include not returning the deposit within the required time frame, making improper deductions, or failing to provide an itemized statement of deductions.

How can I recover my security deposit?

If your landlord is unresponsive or unwilling to cooperate, you may want to consider taking legal action. Contact us for a free consultation with a legal expert to help you understand your rights and guide you through the process of filing a claim if necessary.

About the Recently Filed Security Deposit Lawsuit

The lawsuits filed against BLVD, MG Properties, Essex, AMC (American Management Consultants), and Sequoia Equities allege that they failed to comply with California law when it came time for tenants’ security deposits to be returned to the tenants at move-out. Among other things, the lawsuits allege that property management companies and landlords broke California law by deducting some or all of their former tenants’ security deposits without providing the tenants with the vendor invoices and itemized statements required by law to substantiate those deductions. Additionally, the lawsuit against MG Properties also alleges that MG Properties charged late fees that were higher than permitted under California law.

I was referred to Jeff by a friend after experiencing harassment at my place of work. From the start, Jeff was honest in his consultation about how to move forward. He was quick to respond to my questions and always very communicative about what steps were being taken in my case. I felt that he had my best interest. I felt he fought for me and did not give up even though the complicated nature of my case. The outcome has exceeded far beyond what we thought and I attribute that to Jeff's competency and desire to make things right for me.

I have read all the reviews posted about Hogue & Belong, and I would love to offer a review of my own opinion. I have had Tyler Belong representing me for around the last 5 years, and I cannot be more pleased. Tyler Belong is one of the top-rated lawyers in San Diego and you couldn't have better representation, if you are lucky enough to have him representing you. In the past 5 years, every time I have had a question, Tyler would get back to me within 24 hours, if not sooner, with an answer. I found Tyler to be supportive and compassionate, and ready to fight tooth and nail if my rights were being abused. He is not afraid to take on large corporations, and does this with style and finesse. Going forward, Tyler will stick with you and make sure you are treated fairly. I am grateful to have his continued representation in the future. I found Tyler to be more than trustworthy and dedicated to my case. He truly is a super lawyer. I have seen some negative reviews listed and that couldn't be further from the truth. Tyler will let you know right away if you have a case, and will not waste your time or his, if you don't. Thank you Tyler for all you do, your honesty and integrity are so appreciated.

Keeping it real for a second... when I first called Hogue & Belong I was kind of a hot mess. I was distraught, upset, and super emotional. I must have apologized over and over again for my ugly crying while I was trying to inquire about my options. From that first phone call until a gratifying resolution I was very well taken care of. Tyler took the time to really hear and understand my situation. He helped me understand the law and my rights which immediately helped me calm down and gain confidence. It was so validating to feel like I (finally) had someone in my corner advocating for me. We worked with Tyler for months and months and his service never wavered. He is very prompt with communication and really good at explaining things in a way that I could understand. I know that every case is different but his experience allowed him to give me numerous "heads up" on how things might go which contributed to my feelings of confidence and empowerment. I am so grateful for Tyler and the entire team at Hogue & Belong for helping us navigate one of the hardest times of my life. You can trust that you will be well taken care of by them.
