§ 4464. Remedies for illegal evictions

(a) Any tenant who sustains damage or injury as a result of an illegal eviction may bring
an action for injunctive relief, damages, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees.

(b) A court may award reasonable attorney’s fees to the landlord if, upon motion and hearing,
it is determined that the action was not brought in good faith and was frivolous or
intended for harassment only. (Added 1985, No. 175 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
