My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
A landlord is open to settle with a tenant. We assume it's a way to avoid further litigation for wrongful eviction and damages down the road by getting the tenant to agree to close the matter.
The landlord's attorney is asking the tenant what they are seeking. The tenant was told by a lawyer to see what the landlord is willing to put on the table before going to court. The tenant cannot afford further consultation with an attorney so they are going to have to carry the rest of the matter on their own.
Is there a specific way to handle these things? Does the tenant risk accidentally forgoing rights or handicapping themselves in any way when talking to the landlord's attorney? Outside of, of course, straight up agreeing to a bum deal. Are there things in these situations that often catch tenants off guard?
