california tenant rights lawyer

You may not own the building where you live, but you still have rights. In California, a landlord is required to make repairs on buildings when needed. You should never be expected to live in a dilapidated home. Water leaks, pests, and unfixed conditions can cause immense distress.

If a building becomes unbearable to the point where you have no choice but to leave, then you have become the victim of an illegal eviction. A growing number of cities in California, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood, have special ordinances that protect you from illegal harassment. Loss of a rent-controlled apartment constitutes a major loss of your rights, for which you may be entitled to compensation.

The Law Office of Matthew B. Roberts has the legal acumen to bring the fight directly to the responsible party. Please fill out a case consultation if you think the time has come for you to talk to a tenant rights lawyer.
