Tenant Rights in Corona Are Fierce. Are Yours Getting Crushed?

Corona’s got charm—sun, space, and a front-row view of the mountains. But landlords here? Some act like it’s the Wild West. Rent hikes with no warning. Mold that “isn’t serious.” Notices scribbled on Post-its. It’s illegal. It’s common. It’s why we exist.

We’re The Law Firm for Tenant Rights, Inc., based in San Francisco, litigating statewide and suing slumlords from LA to Lake County. And yes—we fight for tenants in Corona. We know your rights. We weaponize them.

Our Services for Corona Renters

Corona rents are rising. Faster than your paycheck. And when housing’s scarce? Landlords act boldly. Bold—and wrong. Many rentals in Corona fall under California’s rent control law (AB 1482). That means limits on increases. Rules for eviction. Real protections.

Your landlord doesn’t get to raise rent by 30% “just because.” They don’t get to kick you out for asking for repairs. If they’re breaking the law? We break their defense. We’re not in the business of asking. We pressure. We file. We win.

What We Do for Corona Renters.

Landlords love fine print. Tenants hate court. That imbalance? We fix it.

Your Lease Isn’t Gospel. It’s a Trap.

Corona leases are full of traps: “admin fees,” “nonrefundable deposits,” and sketchy clauses.
Looks legal. Smells shady. We shred it line by line. Even if you signed it—we can still fight it.

Eviction Notices Don’t Mean Go.

Got a 3-day notice taped to your door? Don’t panic. Under California law, you need just cause to be evicted. “You were too loud” doesn’t count. “You asked for heat” definitely doesn’t. We stall, counter, or kill the eviction altogether.

Mold Is a Lawsuit, Not a Minor Issue.

Black mold. Cracked pipes. Roaches with leases. These aren’t “maintenance issues.” They’re violations. California law says your unit must be habitable. If it’s not? We document. We notify. We sue.

Security Deposit Gone? That’s Theft.

Your landlord has 21 days to return your deposit with receipts. If they vanish, ghost you, or invent fake damages? That’s not miscommunication. That’s illegal. We make them pay it back—plus penalties.

Surprise Inspections? That’s a No.

Landlords need 24-hour written notice to enter your unit. Texting “I’m outside” isn’t legal. Neither is “just checking in.” We treat surprise visits like what they are: trespassing.

Harassment Isn’t Management.

Calls at midnight. Threats. Random pop-ins. “You should just move.” That’s not property management—it’s intimidation. We help you build a record. And then we sue.

Renewal Time? You’ve Got Options.

Don’t sign the lease renewal without reviewing it. Bring it to us. We remove the junk. Fix the terms. Maybe renegotiate rent. You’re not powerless just because you rent. You’ve got leverage. We use it.

Questions Corona Renters Ask. And We Answer.

Can they raise rent whenever they want?

No. Not if you’re covered by AB 1482. That law caps yearly increases. If they exceed it? We make them roll it back—or pay you.

What if they won’t fix anything?

File a written request. Take photos. Then call us. We force repairs. Or we file habitability claims that get real attention.

Only under specific circumstances. Missed rent? Maybe. But retaliation? Never. We kill illegal notices fast.

Late fee seems huge—is that okay?

Probably not. Many late fees break the law. We review, flag, and demand refunds.

They kept my entire deposit. Now what?

You get that money back—or we sue for triple damages. We don’t send reminders. We serve papers.

Can my landlord just show up?

Nope. Landlords need written notice. And a valid reason. Anything else? It’s harassment.

What if I stop paying rent?

We never recommend it without a plan in place. Let us set it up legally—rent withholding, repair-and-deduct, or court-backed escrow.
