Reuben Raucher & Blum achieved a decisive victory for the owner of an apartment building sued for private nuisance. The dispute arose when a neighbor across the street filed a claim against our client, alleging nuisance due to filming activities arranged by a tenant at the property.

RRB successfully argued that landlords are not liable for a tenant’s actions when no nuisance exists at the inception of the lease. Additionally, the team presented evidence proving the landlord was unaware of and uninvolved in the alleged activities. With no evidence to challenge these facts, the court granted summary judgment, clearing the landlord of any liability.

This outcome demonstrates RRB’s commitment to protecting property owners from unwarranted claims. If you’re facing complex landlord-tenant issues, we’re here to provide strategic, effective representation.
