L.A. Law on Your Side: What is Retaliatory Eviction?
California law protects tenants from eviction for simply exercising their rights.
This includes situations where you:
- Raised a ruckus (a polite one, of course) about health or safety hazards in your apartment. L.A. shouldn’t feel like a health hazard!
- Joined forces with your fellow tenants to demand better living conditions. There’s power in numbers, and your landlord can’t punish you for it.
- Refused to pay rent until repairs were actually made. You shouldn’t have to live with a leaky roof or a broken heater, and withholding rent until it’s fixed is a legal right.
- Exercised your right to a lease renewal. Don’t get blindsided by an eviction notice when your lease ends – you might have the right to stay.
If you received an eviction notice after taking any of these actions, it could be a clear case of retaliation. Don’t let your landlord bully you – fight back!
