SAN FRANCISCO – A woman alleges her landlord illegally locked her out of her San Francisco apartment.

Alicia Villegas filed a complaint on Oct. 31 in the San Francisco Superior Court against Carrie J. Richey and Does 1 through 10 alleging negligence, wrongful eviction and other counts.

According to the complaint, on April 7, 2017, Villegas became a tenant at the lower level of the defendants' residential unit at 137 Milton Street, San Francisco with a monthly rent of $1,700. 

The plaintiff alleges in October and November 2017, Richey entered the plaintiff's unit without her permission and stayed for weeks without notice. The plaintiff alleges Richey locked her out of her unit Jan. 9 and refused to return any of her belongings.

The plaintiff holds Richey and Does 1 through 10 responsible because the defendants allegedly illegally locked her out of the unit and trespassed.

The plaintiff seeks judgment for damages, prejudgment interest, attorney fees, expert fees, witness fees, costs, penalties and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. She is represented by Joseph. S. Tobener, James W. Lucey and Christa E. Conry of Tobener Ravenscroft LLP in San Francisco.
