Housing Disputes & Small Claims

Rent increases, repairs and habitability, lease terms, notices, and move-out disagreements. We read your lease against the facts and tell you where you actually stand — before you commit to a position.

California limits what a landlord may withhold from a deposit and how long they have to account for it. These cases turn on the itemized statement, photos, receipts, and written communications — we help you assemble them properly.

Three-day, thirty-day, and sixty-day notices move quickly, and the deadlines are unforgiving. Bring the paperwork to us as soon as it arrives so nothing is lost by default.

California does not permit attorneys to appear at a small claims hearing — so we do the work around it: naming the right party, drafting the claim, organizing your evidence, and rehearsing what you will say to the judge.
