Free Evaluation: How to Get Started With the California Tenant Defense System

The first step in every tenant defense is understanding exactly what you’re dealing with. The free evaluation provides that clarity — and gives you a specific action plan for your situation.

What to Bring to Your Evaluation

Have ready: the address and type of your rental, how long you’ve been a tenant, any notices you’ve received from the landlord, a description of the issue you’re facing, any documentation you’ve already gathered (photographs, demand letters, code enforcement reports), and a clear statement of what you want to achieve.

The evaluation is where strategy begins. Whether you’re facing eviction, fighting a habitability problem, disputing a security deposit, or dealing with a retaliatory landlord, the evaluation identifies the specific legal framework that applies to your situation and the most effective path forward. The California Tenant Defense System gives you the tools to travel that path. Request your free evaluation here — it takes less than 5 minutes to start.
