LEGAL ALERT FOR CALIFORNIA LANDLORDS: The ruling in Eshagian v. Cepeda (June 26, 2025) makes strict compliance mandatory when issuing 3-day notices to pay rent or quit. Minor errors can completely invalidate your notice and derail an eviction action. To protect your property rights, every 3-day notice must strictly adhere to statutory requirements: (1) State loss of possession, (2) Provide clear dates, (3) Include a valid address for rent payment. Landlords and property managers must review their notices immediately. If you need assistance with compliant notices or landlord-tenant disputes, our experienced team at the Law Office of Andrew H. Griffin, III, APC is here to help. Contact us today at andrewgriffinlawoffice.com.

BREAKING: San Diego moves toward major rental fee restrictions.

The San Diego City Council is considering a landmark ordinance that could fundamentally change how property owners manage their rentals. The proposal aims to increase transparency and affordability by introducing strict caps on monthly recurring fees.

Key highlights of the proposed crackdown:
- Recurring fees (parking, trash, etc.) capped at 5% of monthly rent.
- Late fees limited to 2% of monthly rent.
- Complete ban on monthly pet fees (pet rent).
- Mandatory disclosure of all fees in advertisements and listings.

As these changes move toward a final vote this fall, landlords must stay ahead of the regulatory curve to ensure compliance and protect their investments.

We bring over 40 years of legal and real estate expertise to help San Diego property owners navigate complex local laws. If you have questions about how these proposed changes affect your property management, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Seniors in California have a powerful legal shield against eviction that many are unaware of. Under Assembly Bill 246 (AB 246), a Social Security Hardship can be used as a valid defense in court to protect your home.

If you or a loved one are facing eviction because Social Security, SSDI, or SSI payments have been interrupted or delayed, the Law Office of Andrew H. Griffin, III, APC is here to advocate for you. This legislation was specifically designed to prevent vulnerable members of our community from being displaced due to administrative issues or payment gaps beyond their control.

BREAKING NEWS: A "Second Look" for your student loans.

If you are a past bankruptcy client who still carries student loan debt, the 2026 Pearson Rule may change everything for you.

Under this new ruling, certain student loans, specifically those used for living expenses or for schools that are not Title IV accredited, may now be dischargeable in bankruptcy. The most important part? This can apply even if your bankruptcy case was previously closed.

At the Law Office of Andrew H. Griffin, III, APC, we are helping our community revisit their financial fresh start. You do not have to carry the weight of these loans forever if they qualify for discharge under this new precedent.

Please do not hesitate to see if you qualify for a second look. Our firm has been serving San Diego for over 40 years, and we are ready to advocate for your financial freedom once again.

Contact us today to discuss your options.
