Frequently asked questions
What is the implied warranty of habitability?
It is California law’s promise that a rental will be reasonably safe and fit to live in — with working plumbing, heat, hot water, and electrical; secure doors and windows; sanitary conditions; and freedom from serious infestations. When a landlord breaches it, tenants may have a claim.
Do I have a habitability case?
It depends on what was wrong, how long it lasted, what you reported, and how your landlord responded. The fastest way to find out is our free eligibility check or a call — we do not charge to tell you where you stand.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
Habitability matters are handled on a contingency basis for qualifying cases, and the initial review is always free. Fee terms are confirmed in a written agreement.
