Torrance is a sunny city by the beach. It has parks, schools, and malls like Del Amo. Families, students, and seniors all rent here. Life feels calm and safe.
But renting is not always easy. Some landlords try to raise rent without warning. Others refuse to fix broken things. Some even push renters to leave for no reason.
That is not right. It breaks the law.
At The Law Firm for Tenant Rights, we stand with renters near Torrance. You have rights. We help you use them. If your landlord is unfair, call us. We will fight for your home.
Rent in Torrance keeps climbing. A small apartment near Del Amo Mall can cost more than $2,150 each month. Some landlords push even harder, raising the price without warning. Others ignore serious problems. Tenants call us after months of living with leaks and mold. Some even face sudden threats to move out or never see their security deposit again.
In Southwood, Old Torrance, and Walteria, renters tell us the same stories again and again. Rent shoots up without notice. Repairs drag on while families live in unsafe homes. Deposits vanish with no reason given. These tricks are common, but they are not legal.
If this sounds like what you are going through, you do not have to stay quiet. You have the right to fight back, and we are ready to stand with you.
Torrance may look calm on the outside, but renting here can turn stressful if you don’t know your rights. Some landlords take advantage of renters who stay quiet. California law stops these moves, but it only works if you use it.
That is where we step in. Our job is to explain the rules in plain English, guide you on what to do next, and make sure your landlord cannot bend the law in their favor.
No. Rent increases cannot happen whenever a landlord feels like it. In most cases, the law limits how often and how much rent can go up. If your landlord suddenly demands hundreds more each month, that is a red flag. We can check if the increase is even allowed and stop it if it breaks the rules.
Yes. Every renter has the right to a safe and livable home. That means working heat in the winter, plumbing that does not leak, and walls free of mold and pests. If something breaks, write to your landlord and save a copy. If they ignore your request, we step in to make sure the problem gets fixed.
No. A landlord cannot just say “pack your bags” without a valid reason. The law demands a clear cause for eviction. If you get a notice that feels unfair or rushed, do not leave right away. Talk to us first. We may be able to keep you in your home.
Yes, you should. Once you move out, your landlord has a set number of days to return your deposit. If they want to keep part of it, they must give you a clear explanation. Many landlords try to keep more than they should. If that happens, we fight to get your money back.
No. Your home is your private space. The law says landlords must give written notice before stepping inside, except in a real emergency. If someone keeps showing up without permission, that is not only rude, it is illegal. You have the right to stop it.
Some landlords push tenants with threats, constant texts, or unannounced visits. This is harassment, and it is against the law. No renter in Torrance should feel unsafe in their own home. We know how to make the harassment stop.
Yes, you can. You might need more time to pay, fairer rules, or even a rent adjustment. You don’t have to sign something unfair. We help renters speak up, negotiate, and get better terms.
We hear from people all over Torrance—families near Torrance High, students by El Camino College, and seniors living close to Wilson Park. The stories may sound different, but the fears are the same:
That is illegal. Call us right away. We’ll help you get it back on.
Maybe, but only if you asked for repairs in writing first. If they don’t fix it, we’ll guide you on what to do next.
No. They must still give you proper notice and a legal reason.
Not for things like plumbing, locks, or heating. That is their job.
No. That is “retaliation.” It is illegal.
Your landlords must fix major issues like no water or heat in 48 hours. And they should resolve smaller issues in a few days.
Yes. We can connect you with local legal aid and tenant groups in Los Angeles County.
From North Torrance to Hollywood Riviera, renters deal with landlords who cut corners or push too far. We know the neighborhoods, we know the issues, and we know the patterns landlords use to pressure tenants.

We have stopped illegal rent hikes. We have fought for deposits that landlords tried to keep. And we have kept families from losing their homes. When landlords use tricks, we know how to shut them down.
