Living in Sunnyvale sounds like a dream. The weather’s great. The tech jobs are booming. But when rent climbs, and landlords ignore problems, things go south fast.
That’s where we come in. At The Law Firm for Tenant Rights, we stand up for renters. We’re based in San Francisco, but we fight hard for tenants in Sunnyvale, too. You don’t have to stay silent. We help you push back—fast and loud.
Sunnyvale sits in the heart of Silicon Valley. Tech workers love it. But high demand means high rent. A small one-bedroom now averages around $2,941 a month.
Many landlords try to charge even more. Some skip repairs. Others break the rules. That’s where tenant rights in Sunnyvale make a big difference.
You can’t stop rent from rising. But you can stop unfair hikes. You can force repairs. You can fight back when things go wrong.
You have more power than you think. California law protects renters. Sunnyvale renters get extra help, too. If your landlord breaks the rules, we help you hold them accountable.
No. Your landlord must follow rent laws. Usually, rent can go up once a year—about 5% plus inflation. They must give 30 or 60 days’ written notice first.
No, your landlord must fix heat, water, and safety problems fast. You can send a repair request in writing. Keep copies. If they don’t act, we’ll help you take legal steps.
No. Landlords need a legal reason to evict. “Just cause” is required under California law. Wanting more money is not a good enough reason.
Yes. Landlords have 21 days to return it. If they keep any of it, they must explain why—in writing. If they don’t, we’ll help you get it back.
No. That’s not allowed. Your landlord must give you 24 hours’ written notice first. Emergencies are the only exception.
Yes. Too many calls, threats, or visits can count as harassment. That’s against the law. You can report it and take legal action.
Yes. You don’t have to accept unfair terms. Want lower rent? Less fees? Better rules for pets? Ask. We help you negotiate.
We hear from Sunnyvale renters every day. Their questions are simple—but the answers matter. Here are some we get a lot.
That’s illegal. Call us right away. We can help fast.
Maybe. You must first ask for repairs in writing. If they don’t fix it, we’ll guide you through the next steps.
No. They must give you notice—30 or 60 days. And they still need a reason.
No. Repairs are their job. They can’t charge you for leaks, mold, or heat problems.
That’s called retaliation. It’s illegal. You can fight back and win.
Urgent ones—like no heat—must be fixed in 48 hours. Others should be fixed in a few days.
Yes. We’ll connect you to free legal aid and renter help groups.

Big city tricks don’t work when we show up. We make landlords listen. We make them fix what’s broken.

California’s housing market continues to hit historic highs. Landlords are perversely incentivized to harass, issue unjust eviction notices, and otherwise push out long-term and below-market tenants to increase profits. Many tenants are not aware of local and statewide protections that may benefit them. Contact us to learn about your rights so we can help you stay housed. If you’ve already been displaced, we can help you secure a measure of justice.
