Why You Need a Reliable Eviction Defense in Simi Valley

Eviction is overwhelming, but having a tenant rights attorney on your side allows you to fight back effectively. Whether it is an unfair eviction notice or an unlawful rent increase, we step in to protect your rights.

What to Do If a Landlord Refuses to Make Repairs 

Landlords cannot refuse to make repairs. Without proper maintenance, your rental property becomes uninhabitable. As a result, you are entitled to compensation. We can demand repairs on your behalf and take legal action if your landlord fails to do so.

How to Handle Security Deposit Disputes

Security deposits are meant to be returned. If your landlord doesn’t return your security deposit or fails to provide a detailed list of deductions within the legally required time frame, we can hold them accountable so you can secure your full refund.

How to Protect Your Privacy 

Your home is a private space, and this means your landlord needs your permission to enter the premises. They also cannot call you non-stop or pressure you to open the door. They need to give you proper notice before any visit.

If they refuse to provide notice or try to intimidate you, that is harassment, and we can take legal action to protect you.

What to Do If Your Landlord Unlawfully Increases Rent 

Most properties are subject to rent control and tenant protection laws, limiting annual rent increases. Aside from allowable annual adjustments under the law, your landlord generally cannot raise the rent beyond the legal limit. If your landlord exceeds this limit, we can help you challenge the increase. 

How to Respond If Utilities Are Cut Off

Shutting off your utilities is a type of retaliation, especially if it is done to force you out or intimidate you. This is illegal, and we can take swift legal action to help you recover damages. 

What to Do if You Face Discrimination 

Discrimination is illegal. Landlords cannot reject your application based on gender, race, religion, or ethnicity, among other reasons. We can hold your landlord accountable and pursue justice on your behalf. 

What Should I Do If My Landlord Ignores Maintenance Requests? 

Landlords cannot ignore maintenance requests. It is their responsibility to ensure a safe and habitable environment for tenants to live in. If your requests are unanswered, you can document this and take legal steps to enforce your rights.
