California Tenants' Rights

Many tenants have to deal with roommates who don't pull their weight, neighbors who routinely engage in illegal activities, landlords who don't know -- or won’t follow -- national or state laws and local rent ordinances. With California Tenants' Rights, you'll have what you need to:

-understand and negotiate a lease
-inspect a rental before moving in
-fight discrimination
-get needed repairs and maintenance
-deal with a nosy landlord
-break a lease with minimum fall-out
-get your security deposit back
-figure out rules for rent increases
-fight an eviction


The 17th edition is completely updated with the latest laws and official legal forms, and now covers the new bankruptcy rules and how it affects evictions.
