- You may be able to recover rent you paid illegally.
- You may be entitled to money your landlord took from you.
- You may be entitled to compensation for what you have been put through.
You have the right to life in peace.
- Fear
- Intimidation
- Threats
- Discrimination of any kind
- Safe and secure housing
- A home free from infestations
- A home that is properly maintained
- A landlord who follows the law
- A landlord who treats you with respect
Is this happening to you?
Most tenant problems have a name. And a plain answer.
You're not the first tenant this has happened to. You won't be the last. Here are some of the questions we hear most often.
See all guidesMy landlord raised my rent. Is that legal?
Most LA rent increases are capped. If yours jumped past the limit, or spiked right after you asked for a repair, that can be illegal.
My landlord won't fix something that matters.
Mold, no heat or hot water, pests, services cut, repairs that never come. If your landlord won’t keep your home livable, the law has a name for it.
I got a notice. What does it mean?
A 3-day, 30-day, or 60-day notice each mean different things, and some come with relocation money. Read it before you act on it.

About this firm
Built for the tenant who knows something isn't right but isn't sure it's illegal.
This firm exists because of the tenants who lose their homes despite being in the right. They have documentation and a clear story. They don't know their rights. By the time someone explains the law to them, they've already moved out.
It serves the long-term renter whose landlord stopped fixing things after she asked in writing. The tenant who knows something isn't fair but isn't sure it's illegal. She doesn't need an aggressive lawyer. She needs someone to explain what's happening.
Tenants' rights is the whole practice. We represent tenants in any dispute with a landlord, and we go deep because it is the only thing we do.

In their words
What tenants say after the call.
He told me on the first call I didn’t need to sue. That was worth a lot.
I called three lawyers. He was the only one who said “let’s see if you have a case” instead of “sign here.”
My attorney explained what was happening in plain English. I knew what to do that day.
He returned my call the same afternoon. No paralegal, no intake form, just him.
I felt respected. Like a person, not a case number.
He sent me a one‑page summary in plain English the next day. I forwarded it to my brother.
He said “you don’t have a case yet, here’s what to do if it gets worse.” That call was free.
