Mr. Rotenberg’s eviction office has helped countless landlords in California to resolve their Tenant Eviction problems.

The attorneys you choose to represent you in your landlord-tenant dispute should have a comprehensive grasp of the rent laws in California: rent stabilization, rent control, overcharges and evictions. Their reputation for results should be known throughout the real estate bar. They should know how to negotiate and, if necessary, litigate for your goals in court.

Although California is generally considered tenant-friendly, there are several situations in which a landlord may legally terminate a tenant's right to remain on the rental property. In such cases, law enforcement may be authorized by a court order to remove the tenant forcibly. Common reasons for eviction include:
• Occupying the rental unit as a subtenant without the landlord's approval
• Failure to pay rent on time
• Using or allowing the rental property to be used for illegal activities
• Violating the terms of the lease and failing to remedy the situation after receiving notice from the landlord
• Keeping unauthorized pets or persons on the property in violation of the lease agreement
• Causing damage to the property, creating a nuisance, or interfering with the safety and comfort of other residents
• Refusing to sign a lease renewal or extension with similar terms after a written rental agreement has expired
The landlord intends to reclaim the property in good faith for major renovations, demolition, or permanent removal from the rental market

When facing eviction in court, you will have the opportunity to present your case to the judge. This includes explaining your situation and providing any relevant records or documents as evidence.
You may have legal defenses that could lead to the dismissal of the landlord’s case. Below are some examples of such defenses:
A. Nonpayment Eviction Defenses
•You did not receive a certified mail notice informing you that rent was overdue, at least five (5) days after it was due.
•You were not served with a written demand for rent—fourteen (14) days for regular rentals or thirty (30) days if you live in a manufactured home park.
•The landlord is attempting to charge late fees or other costs that are not part of your regular rent.
•You either paid the rent or attempted to pay it, but the landlord refused to accept it. Bring evidence such as receipts or witnesses to court.
•You withheld rent due to the landlord’s failure to make necessary repairs. Bring supporting documentation like a housing inspector’s report, photos, or other proof.
•The Department of Social Services (DSS) is withholding rent because the landlord has not made required repairs. Bring any notices from your caseworker as evidence.
•Your landlord failed to provide rent receipts when you paid rent.
Counterclaims
You are entitled to raise counterclaims against your landlord in court. For example, if you can prove there were severe issues with the property, the court should consider reducing your rent, a process known as “abatement.” However, be aware that some judges mistakenly believe you cannot raise this defense if you owe rent
