Los Angeles Eviction Attorney

Eviction and Your Rights as a Tenant

Receiving a notice to vacate or a notice to pay rent or quit can be a shocking and emotionally upsetting experience. It is important to know, however, that these notices do not always comply with the law, and you may have defenses to an eviction action of which you are unaware. It is, of course, important to address the matter correctly in order to protect yourself from liability and achieve a successful outcome to your situation. Consult with a Los Angeles tenants' rights attorney to defend and defeat your eviction lawsuit.

Depending on your circumstances, you may have a solid defense that prevents you from having to leave your home. If you are disabled, the property is uninhabitable, or your landlord has refused to fix problems given due notification or being ordered to do so, you may be protected from eviction. If you live in a city that has a rent control ordinance, you landlord cannot evict you without good cause. If you are told that your landlord is evicting you to allow for an owner or manager to move in, and this does not occur within the period specified by law, this amounts to a fraudulent eviction. You also have recourse under the law in those cases.
