Landlords have a legal duty to provide safe, habitable housing. When they fail, we hold them accountable.
Tenants deserve to live in safe, well-maintained homes. When a landlord's negligence — whether through failure to repair hazardous conditions, ignoring health code violations, or wrongful eviction — causes injury or harm, the law protects tenants. At E.S.q Legal, we advocate for renters whose rights have been violated and pursue full compensation for injuries caused by negligent property ownership.
Habitability claims
Every rental has an implied warranty of habitability. Mold, pests, no heat, broken stairs, faulty wiring — when a landlord fails to maintain a livable home and you're injured as a result, they are liable.
Premises liability for renters
Slip and fall, trip hazards, inadequate lighting, broken railings — renters have the same right to a safe property as anyone else. We prove the landlord knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.
Wrongful eviction & retaliation
California law strictly prohibits retaliatory evictions. If a landlord evicts you for reporting code violations or requesting repairs, you may be entitled to significant damages.
Security & third-party harm
Landlords must provide reasonable security measures. When inadequate locks, broken gates, or poor lighting lead to assault or injury, the property owner bears responsibility.
