About Daniel Bornstein

The boutique firm of Bornstein Law exemplifies the personal qualities of its founder and the decisive voice for rental property owners and operators, Daniel Bornstein. One of the most thankless and trying but necessary duties of a landlord is transitioning tenants out of rental units, but Daniel is the Bay Area’s authority in the carefully choreographed steps of unlawful detainer actions.

With deep knowledge in the complex laws governing landlord-tenant relationships, core practice areas include navigating thorny regulations in rent-controlled jurisdictions and effectuating vacancies through creative legal vehicles, with exceptional skill in crafting and executing proper and enforceable tenant buyout agreements, as well as assisting owners or close relatives recover a tenant-occupied rental unit for their own use.

Using wide-ranging litigation experience, Daniel is adept in the courtroom advocating for landlords and property managers in jury and bench trials, and this aggressive representation extends to regular appearances in front of local Rent Boards tasked with adjudicating rent increases and all manner of other landlord-tenant disputes. His approach is direct and sensible, taking into account the bigger picture while skillfully managing the details of unforgiving timelines and specialized documentation like notices, complaints, motions, and petitions.
