Millions have relied on California Tenants' Rights since 1971! Many tenants have to deal with roommates who don't pull their weight, neighbors who routinely engage in illegal activities and 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 and 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. (20090101)

Yes, Even Tenants Have Rights!,
By Aaron Morris, Esq. (www.toplawfirm.com) (Costa Mesa, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: California Tenants' Rights (Paperback)
Roof leaking? Sure, you can repair the problem and deduct it from your rent, but what if the landlord responds with an eviction notice? There is a lot of bad advice out there. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something. Know your rights! This book will keep you on the right side of the law.

The book to have if your landlord is a jerk.,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: California Tenants' Rights (Paperback)
If your landlord is a jerk and you want to know what he (or she) can legally do or not do, this book will help. It will also give you some idea of when to go for professional help. It is of less help in figuring out what to do before you have to bring in the lawyers. I found it very helpfull to leave this book on the coffee table when my nosy landlord was snooping around my apartment. Apparently bad landlords don't like it when tenants know their rights.

Do not buy this book! It is 5 years outdated and should not be for sale on this site,
By Robert W. Hendrix (Palmdale, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: California Tenants' Rights (Paperback)
Do not buy this book! It is 5 years outdated and should not be for sale on this site.
Read the detailed description of this book, it is from 2005, so save your money and make sure you buy legal books that are current from 2009-2010 only. They should include the 2005 date in the book title so buyers can clearly see how old this book is.
