Why You Need a Reliable Eviction Defense

Everyone deserves to have a roof over their head. Whether it is enforcing rent control protections or fighting unjust evictions, we stand firmly by your side and hold your landlord accountable.

What to Do If a Landlord Refuses to Make Repairs

No one should be exposed to unsafe conditions such as mold, water damage, or pest infestations. The landlord must provide safe and habitable housing. If they fail to meet these standards, we step in. 

How to Handle Security Deposit Disputes

You have the right to receive your security deposit within 21 days. If not, you should receive an itemized list of deductions. If the landlord fails to comply, we take legal action on your behalf. 

How to Protect My Privacy

Your home is a private space, and landlords have to respect your privacy. If they try to intimidate you or enter your space without proper notice, we will take immediate legal action to stop the harassment and defend your rights. 

What to Do If My Landlord Unlawfully Increases Rent

Landlords cannot raise the rent beyond a certain legal limit. This is usually 5% plus the inflation rate. In case of properties built within the last 15 years or single-family homes, rent cannot be increased more than once a year without notice. 

How to Respond if Landlord Cuts Off Utilities

If your landlord cuts off utilities as retaliation, this is not just harassment; it is illegal. In these situations, we step in not only to hold them accountable but also to pursue damages on your behalf. 

What to Do if Your Landlord Discriminates Against You 

Discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or the like is against the law. We fight for your rights and demand compensation on your behalf.

Common Questions from Renters in Pasadena

We provide tailored legal solutions for the residents of Pasadena, helping them navigate the challenges of renting in this city. Here are some of the most common questions we get.

Can I stop an unjust eviction in Pasadena?

Yes, tenants have legal protections against unlawful evictions. Whether it involves rent control protections or retaliation, our Pasadena tenant attorneys are ready to fight for you. 

What can I do if my rental doesn’t meet safety standards?

Every tenant has the right to live in a safe, habitable home. If your rental has structural issues or lacks repairs, your landlord is infringing on your rights. We secure the repairs you deserve or fight for compensation so you can find a better place to live.

What are my rights if my landlord won’t return my security deposit?

Landlords cannot unfairly withhold your security deposit. They must return your funds within a required timeframe or provide a valid reason for deductions. If they don’t, we ensure that your landlord follows the law and that your deposit is fully protected.

What can I do if my landlord violates my privacy?

Your home is a private space, and your landlord cannot enter without proper notice. If they do so or violate your privacy in any way, we will take legal action to uphold your rights. 

Can my landlord retaliate if I report problems?

No, California law protects tenants from retaliation when they exercise their rights. Our Pasadena tenant attorneys will take action to stop any retaliation you face and hold your landlord accountable. 

What if I face housing discrimination in Pasadena?

It is illegal for landlords to discriminate against tenants based on race, religion, gender, and the like. If you have experienced discrimination while renting in Pasadena, our tenant attorneys will uphold your rights and pursue compensation on your behalf.
