Claim up to $10k per Violation
The City of Los Angeles and neighboring cities have strengthened Tenants’ rights.
This means you are entitled to compensation!
Recent amendments to the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance (TAHO) significantly increase compensation for affected tenants
The city now awards 3X compensatory damages - plus emotional distress damages and penalties
Each violation costs your landlord at least $2,000 and can get as high as $10,000
If harassment affects multiple occupants or family members, each person is entitled to separate compensation
If your landlord illegally enters your apartment where you live with your spouse and 3 children, that could be 5 different claims:
You have 3 years to file, but evidence disappears fast
Every day you wait is another potential violation
You don't pay a dollar if we don't win your case

Always ask for repairs in writing and keep a copy. If your landlord ignores you, report them to LAHD Code Enforcement at 888-557-7368 for apartments or LADBS at 888-LA4-BUILD for houses and condos.
If repairs have damaged your property or made your home unlivable, you may have a claim for damages. Tenant Justice can help.
Keep good records. Write down every incident with the date, time, and what happened. Get statements from neighbors and take photos or videos. If you’re in danger, call 911 right away.
Once you have evidence and want to pursue a harassment claim, Tenant Justice can file your case.
Yes, you have a private right of action against your landlord for harassment. This means you can file a civil lawsuit and potentially recover significant damages – often tens of thousands of dollars when multiple violations are proven. The law is designed to discourage landlord harassment by making it very expensive for them.
If you have documented harassment and want to explore your legal options, Tenant Justice offers case evaluations.
The harassment laws protect all tenants in Los Angeles, even if you’re not under rent control. These protections apply to everyone who rents.
If you’re being harassed and want to pursue legal action, Tenant Justice can help regardless of rent control status.
Yes, but they must give you a special disclosure form and file paperwork with the city. You have 30 days to change your mind after signing anything.
If your landlord didn’t follow the rules or is pressuring you to take a buyout, you may have a claim. Tenant Justice can help.
Landlords who harass tenants can face criminal charges with jail time or $1,000 fines. They may also have to pay you 3 times your damages plus $2,000 to $10,000 per violation. If you’re over 65 or disabled, the penalties can be even higher.
If you’ve been harassed and want to pursue damages, Tenant Justice can file your case.
Your landlord must give you 24 hours written notice before entering. The notice must say why they need to enter and what time they’ll come. You don’t have to be home, but they can’t abuse this right by coming too often or going through your personal stuff.
If your landlord entered illegally or is harassing you with constant entries, Tenant Justice can help you file a claim.
