You have a right to a safe, habitable home.
California tenant law is on your side. Whether you're living with mold, leaks, roaches or rats, no heat or hot water, or a landlord who won't make repairs, our attorneys can help you understand your options and fight for the outcome you deserve.
Issues we handle
Under California Civil Code § 1941.1, your landlord must keep your home habitable. These are the problems we see most.
Leaks, water damage and mold
Leaky roofs, walls, windows and plumbing, sewage backups, mold and dampness.
No heat, hot water or appliances
Broken heating, no hot water, and — for leases from 2026 — a broken stove or refrigerator.
Pests and unsanitary conditions
Roaches, rats, mice and bed bugs, and garbage or debris the landlord won’t deal with.
Electrical and gas hazards
Unsafe wiring, lights or outlets that don’t work, and gas problems.
Unsafe doors, floors and stairs
Broken doors and windows, damaged floors, stairways and railings.
Deposits and lease fees
Security deposits not returned on time, and improper charges added to your lease.
Red-tagged building or code violations?
If the city has red-tagged your building, ordered you to move out, or cited your landlord for code violations, you may have additional rights — including relocation assistance and compensation for the time you lived with the conditions.
