Tenant Harassment Legal Actions
Summary
Tenants experiencing harassment and wrongful eviction in California can pursue legal actions such as tenant harassment, wrongful eviction, breach of quiet enjoyment, negligence, and retaliatory eviction. Tenant harassment involves actions by the landlord to force tenants to vacate. Wrongful eviction occurs when eviction procedures are not legally followed. Breach of quiet enjoyment involves interference with peaceful occupancy. Negligence refers to failure in maintaining habitable conditions. Retaliatory eviction happens when landlords act against tenants for complaints. Legal bases include California Civil Codes §1940.2, §789.3, §1941, and §1942.5.
