Tenant’s Rights & Habitability Attorneys in California

Every renter deserves a safe, clean, and livable home. When landlords neglect essential repairs, ignore serious hazards, or fail to maintain basic living conditions, tenants have powerful legal protections—often far stronger than they realize.

Habitability laws require landlords to provide housing that meets minimum health and safety standards. This includes working plumbing and electricity, proper heating, mold-free living spaces, functioning locks, pest-free units, and a structure that’s safe and maintained.

When these conditions are violated, you may have the right to:

• Demand and enforce timely repairs

• Withhold rent under qualifying circumstances

• Recover money for unsafe or uninhabitable conditions

• Break your lease without penalty

• Seek damages for the harm or inconvenience caused

• Pursue legal action when a landlord retaliates or refuses to comply

How We Advocate for Tenants

We support tenants facing issues such as:

• Mold, leaks, broken appliances, or plumbing problems
