KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
If you are facing eviction or harassment, if your rent has been raised beyond the legal limit, or if your landlord is refusing to make necessary repairs, you have rights.
- You have the right to insist that ALL communications between you and your landlord or property manager are in writing.
- Landlords and property managers must provide you with written 24-hour notice prior to entering your unit.
- Under California state law, tenants with a disability have the right to request reasonable accommodation.
- It is against the law for landlords/managers to ask about your legal status and/or use your legal status as a tactic to evict you or intimidate you.
- You have the right to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from entering your home unless they have a warrant signed by a judge. If ICE attempts to enter your home without a warrant:
- Do not open your door.
- You have the right to remain silent.
- Document the time, location, and what happened.
- Do not sign anything you do not understand. Request notices in the language you most understand.
TENANT ACTION CLINIC
SAJE hosts a Tenant Action Clinic (TAC) on the first and third Tuesdays of each month.
TAC is a self-help clinic; our aim is to empower you to take action and enforce your rights.
At TAC, you can meet with SAJE staff and volunteer attorneys to discuss issues related to eviction, harassment, code enforcement, and other housing issues.
TAC is offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and registration is from 3:00-3:30 p.m. Please arrive early to register and secure your spot.
Once you have registered, SAJE staff is available until 6:00 p.m. to answer your questions and help you understand your rights.
Please bring all your relevant documents, including any eviction notices, three-, 10-, 15-, 30-, 60-, or 90-day notices, and any notices you have received from a government agency, landlord, or management company.
