California Tenant Law provides statewide legal representation for California renters through offices in San Diego, the Bay Area, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and the San Fernando Valley. Founded in 1980 by Kenneth H. Carlson, J.D. (California State Bar #93602), our tenant rights attorneys exclusively represent tenants. We handle eviction defense, security deposit recovery, illegal rent increases, late fees, habitability violations, rent control disputes, landlord harassment, retaliation, housing discrimination, and more. With tens of thousands of clients served, we deliver experienced legal advocacy at transparent rates through our internet-based practice established in 1999.
