Glendale has a secret. Renters face a daily battle. Tenant rights in Glendale may exist, but they often feel invisible. Shady landlords push boundaries. Repairs go ignored, and rent spikes surprise tenants. It isn’t right. So, who can help? That’s where we step in.
Glendale has approximately 49,379 renter households. Over half—about 57.8%—spend at least 30% of their income on housing. For many, it’s worse. A staggering 36.1% of renters shell out half their earnings to keep a roof overhead.
In March 2025, the average rent hit Glendale is $2,560. That’s way above the national average of $1,559. In some places like Glendale City Center, rents average $3,347. Meanwhile, Pacific-Edison renters deal with slightly lower averages of $2,003. Prices keep rising, and landlords smell opportunity.
Some landlords kick tenants out chasing higher rents. They use sneaky tricks like fake eviction notices. Others let roofs leak while charging full rent. This system favors landlords. But not on our watch.
California has rent control laws. Landlords can’t raise rent without strict limits. Yet, some break this rule. We stand strong, challenging every illegal increase for fair rates.
Are you facing eviction? We don’t let that slide. Evictions need real reasons—think nonpayment or serious damage. Sometimes, landlords try trickery. They fake owner move-ins or create false lease violations. We expose these tactics and protect renters from being unfairly removed.
Some leases are sneaky. Landlords slip in illegal clauses. Extra deposits, hidden fees, or crazy guest bans? Not on our watch. Glendale renters deserve proper leases. We zap away what doesn’t belong.
Every renter deserves fully functioning heat, plumbing, and pest-free homes. Some landlords delay repairs hoping tenants will leave. We file complaints and push until owners fix the problems.
Security deposits belong to you, not your landlord. Some owners invent damage or add fake move-out fees. The law is clear about fair deductions, and we hold them accountable.
Landlords have limits—no threats, no unannounced visits, and no forcing tenants out. We document violations and take action. Renters deserve peace in their homes.
Rent control laws set the rules. Landlords can raise rent but only a maximum of 5% plus inflation each year. Any hikes over this are not allowed without city approval.
Not always. Major repairs need notice and approval. You can fight back if landlords skip proper steps to charge higher rents later.
Start with a written request. No reply? Time to contact housing authorities. If the unit becomes unlivable, you may qualify for reduced rent. Don’t skip rent without the correct procedures. You risk eviction.
Yes, but they must follow strict rules. The landlord or family member must occupy the unit for at least a year and give proper notice. If they try to trick you, fight back.
Yes, unless your pet is a service or emotional support animal. Landlords must follow disability laws, and denying this violates tenant rights in Glendale.
