Hawkins was Park Lane’s representative and his statements concerned the Feldmans’ tenancy. Crediting the Feldmans’ description of Hawkins’s statements, he told them they were unapproved occupants, he threatened them with legal action if they did not agree to pay market rent, he asserted that the Feldmans could not win an eviction suit, and that whatever the result of the threatened eviction, the Feldmans would never be able to rent another apartment in San Francisco. Whether taken individually or as a whole, Hawkins’s statements were clearly connected to and made in anticipation of the eviction action they threatened. Whether done maliciously or without reasonable grounds to believe that the Feldmans were unlawful occupants of the premises, the statements were privileged.
