Pomona Uninhabitable Apartment Attorney

Stuck in an Uninhabitable Rental in Pomona? An Attorney Can Protect Your Rights

As a tenant renting an apartment or housing unit in Pomona, you have basic rights under California’s Warranty of Habitability laws.

This means your landlord is legally obligated to provide you with a livable home that meets minimum standards for safety and habitability.

When defects like lack of utilities, insect/rodent infestations, water leaks, mold growth, structural damage and other hazards are allowed to persist, the unit becomes legally uninhabitable – forcing you to endure unacceptable living conditions.

Defining Uninhabitable Housing in Pomona

There are numerous housing code violations that can render an apartment uninhabitable under the laws, such as:

  • Complete lack of essential utilities (water, heat, electricity)
  • Severe pest infestations of rodents, roaches, bed bugs etc.
  • Water leaks causing widespread mold growth
  • Damaged structural elements like holes in floors/ceilings
  • Lack of proper weatherproofing and weather protection
  • Inadequate sewage disposal or non-functioning plumbing

Examples could include having no running water or heat for days, large areas contaminated by toxic black mold, a severe cockroach infestation throughout the unit, a collapsing ceiling or floor, broken windows, and plumbing backups of raw sewage.

These uninhabitable conditions can threaten the health and safety of tenants.

Your Rights as a Pomona Tenant in an Uninhabitable Unit

When landlords are properly notified yet fail to fix serious habitability issues within a reasonable time period (typically 30 days), Pomona tenants then have legal options including:

  • Withholding full rent payments until violations are corrected
  • Utilizing rent money to pay for repairs themselves (“repair and deduct”)
  • Temporary rent abatement while defects are addressed
  • Relocation to a livable housing unit at the landlord’s expense
  • Potential recovery of monetary damages

An uninhabitable apartment lawyer like Arie Shamuilian can evaluate your case, document all code violations, advise you of your rights under the laws, and pursue legal remedies against the negligent landlord.

This could involve sending demand notices, negotiating settlements, filing lawsuits, and representing you in court if needed.
