All units in LA now officially have “just cause” protections, meaning a landlord cannot evict a tenant without declaring a cause from a designated list, which you can find HERE. For non-RSO units, these protections take effect after six months or at the end of the first lease term, whichever comes first.
Your landlord will have a dedicated complaints process on its website. If you cannot access their website, contact your landlord and ask for a copy. We suggest you make a complaint in writing via email, post, or your landlord's online resident portal so that you can keep a copy for your records.
Express your concerns and ask them to stop the behavior. Sometimes, direct communication can resolve misunderstandings. Send a Formal Notice: If the harassment continues, send a written notice to the tenant outlining the behavior and requesting that it cease. Be clear and professional in your communication.
If you have questions or concerns, or to report a problem, contact the Environmental Health Call Center at (888) 700-9995 or File a Complaint Online.
Landlords are prohibited from doing the following acts if done to harass the tenant: Taking away services provided in the lease (housing services). Refusing to do required repairs. Entering the apartment without proper notice.
Medical records that attest to the victim's injuries or diagnosis of mental health conditions, such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression, are among the most important pieces of evidence that prove emotional distress in court.
However, California law recognizes the seriousness of emotional injuries, even if they lack physical symptoms. “You can't prove it.” Despite its intangibility, you can prove emotional distress in court. You can provide evidence through medical records, journal entries, and expert testimonies.
