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.
