MARILYN KALMAN
TENANT LAWYER
Marilyn Kalman first became involved with tenant advocacy as a result of her own legal battles with landlords. She’s been a member of the San Francisco Tenants Union since the late seventies and was one of the first women inducted into the Tenants Union Hall of Fame.
Before becoming a lawyer she helped to establish a number of eviction defense clinics and was instrumental in developing a training program to guide others in setting up eviction defense clinics. Since becoming a lawyer in the mid-eighties she has devoted her career to fighting for tenants.
The Kalman Law Office helps Bay Area tenants fend off evictions and/or get compensation from landlords for violating their legal rights.

“...I went to the tenants union and Marilyn Kalman was high on their list as a Real Estate Attorney.
I went to her office and she calmed me down instantly. After answering a few questions, she simplified everything and gave me a few options.
A week later she called. Due to her diligence and fighting on my behalf, my landlord had made a "mistake" and backed down. It was that quick and painless. She gave me the peace of mind
I needed instantly. Marilyn is a great lawyer with a flawless bedside manner! I highly recommend her
if you're having any problems with your landlord."

"Mo made the owner-move in eviction process as painless and streamlined as possible. In the end, she was able to help us secure significantly higher restitution amounts well above the minimum SF payment for owner eviction move in, as well as what the new owners were willing to originally to pay out. She included provisions in the agreement I would have never thought of on my own, and her assistance was invaluable. Moving is never easy, and getting evicted is the worst, but Mo's professionalism, friendliness, and efficiency made all the difference at a difficult time. I highly recommend her services to all renters." - John S.
