§ 1940.2
California Civil Code
The state harassment statute. Lists specific conduct landlords are not allowed to engage in. Tenants can recover damages and stop the behavior.
What we do
We represent tenants in any dispute with a landlord, throughout California. Never landlords. If your landlord is the problem, it is our case.
The law we use
These are the laws that protect California tenants and the laws we hold landlords to in court.
TAHO
LA Tenant Anti-Harassment Ord.
City of LA law. Goes further than state law and covers more situations. Adds a private right of action and stronger penalties.
LARSO
LA Rent Stabilization Ord.
City of LA. Caps annual rent increases, requires just cause for eviction, governs most multi-unit buildings built before October 1, 1978.
Tenant Protection Act
California AB 1482
Statewide. Caps annual rent increases at 5% plus inflation (about 8% in 2026 for LA). Applies to most rentals not covered by stricter local ordinances.
§ 12955
California Gov. Code
The Fair Employment and Housing Act. Makes it illegal for a landlord to treat you differently because of race, family status, disability, source of income, or national origin.
§ 1941.1
California Civil Code
The warranty of habitability. Your home has to be livable. Sets out the basic conditions a landlord is required to maintain.
What that includes
One focus. Many forms.
Most of our work falls into a handful of situations. It is not a closed list. If your landlord is the problem, start with a call.
Evictions and buyouts
No-fault notices, cash-for-keys offers, and pressure to leave. Know what you are owed before you sign or move out.
And more
Illegal lockouts. Lost services. Privacy violations. Retaliation. Deposit games. If a landlord is doing it to you, it is probably something we handle. Call and we will tell you for certain, at no cost.
“We only represent tenants. Never landlords, never management companies, never owners. One side of every case, all the way through.”
Nothing. Calls are free and there’s no intake form.
Not sure if it is something we handle?
Call. If your landlord is the problem, it is probably our case, and we will tell you for certain on the first call, at no cost.
