FAQs

What rights do tenants have under San Jose's rent control laws?
San Jose’s rent control laws protect tenants against unjust evictions and excessive rent increases. Covered tenants benefit from safeguards such as eviction protections and limitations on rent hikes.
How can I challenge an unfair eviction in San Jose?

If you believe you’ve been unfairly evicted, seeking legal assistance is crucial. Our team will assess your situation, review relevant documentation, and develop a strategic defense to safeguard your rights as a tenant.

What steps should I take if my landlord refuses to address necessary repairs?
As a tenant, you have the right to a habitable living space. If your landlord neglects essential repairs, you may have legal options available. Contact us to explore avenues for compelling your landlord to fulfill their obligations.
Can I terminate my lease early if needed?
Breaking a lease can have legal and financial implications. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to negotiate with your landlord or seek legal advice to understand your options and potential consequences.
What should I do if I experience discrimination from my landlord or property manager?

Discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or disability is unlawful. If you believe you’re facing discrimination, document the incidents and contact our firm immediately. We can help you understand your rights and take appropriate legal action to protect yourself.

California’s housing market continues to hit historic highs. Landlords are perversely incentivized to harass, issue unjust eviction notices, and otherwise push out long-term and below-market tenants to increase profits. Many tenants are not aware of local and statewide protections that may benefit them. Contact us to learn about your rights so we can help you stay housed. If you’ve already been displaced, we can help you secure a measure of justice.
