LANDLORD–TENANT LAW
Southern California has hundreds of thousands of residential and commercial buildings, almost all of which involve a landlord-tenant relationship. We have deep expertise in all aspects of landlord-tenant law, including:
- Cases where one party breaches their lease
- Illegal utility shut-offs
- Disagreements about whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for something
- Violations of local rent control laws like the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance and the Beverly Hills and Santa Monica rent control ordinances
- Claims of illegal or substandard construction
HABITABILITY CASES
Every residential lease contains an implied warranty of habitability: that is, a requirement that the landlord maintain a minimum level of repair and pest control at the property. We have extensive experience prosecuting small and large-scale habitability lawsuits.
If your home is infested with roaches, bedbugs, or rodents, or lacks functional heating, plumbing, or utility services, we can help advocate for your rights in court. We have also brought lawsuits on behalf of tenants whose rental units were contaminated with asbestos, mold, or lead paint.
