TENTH & MARKET, LLC VS. JOHN MEAD ET AL

Real Property/Housing Court Law and Motion Calendar for June 9, 2025. Line 5. PLAINTIFF TENTH & MARKET, LLC Notice Of Motion For Attorneys Fees And Costs Post Judgment Against Defendant John Mead is GRANTED in part.

Plaintiff is awarded $10,000.00 in attorneys fees and $2,516.25 in costs, for a total award of $12,516.25. The Court finds that plaintiff is the prevailing party in this action, as plaintiff obtained a judgment for possession of the subject premises, which is the central issue and the primary relief sought in an unlawful detainer action.

The Court finds that $1,642.50 of plaintiff's claimed attorneys fees and $1,056.25 of plaintiff's claimed costs are excessive, having been incurred due to plaintiff's counsel's error in complying with all relevant statutes, court rules, and procedures of the San Francisco Superior Court, and the claimed amounts are adjusted accordingly. Since the attorney fee provision in the lease limits the award of attorneys fees to $10,000.00, the attorneys fees are further reduced to the contractual limit. =(501/VMH)
