Los Angeles tenants have some of the strongest protections in California — the City's Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance, and county just-cause rules layered on top of state law. When landlords ignore mold, pests, broken heat, or resort to harassment and illegal lockouts, we hold them financially accountable. We represent tenants throughout Los Angeles County on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win.
Please noteWe do not defend unlawful detainer (UD) eviction lawsuits. UD cases run on days-long deadlines and require a dedicated UD specialist for quick action — our practice builds large-value affirmative damages cases against landlords. If you've been served with a UD summons, seek UD counsel immediately; call us and we'll point you in the right direction.
