    When LA Housing Department or Building & Safety deems your apartment to be an illegal dwelling, it is because it was built without permits and the landlord has done nothing to bring it into compliance with Building Codes, while collecting rent from you.

   Under Los Angeles Rent Control law, I get landlords to pay you up to $20,450.00 in relocation assistance, refund you the rent going back up to 4 years, and pay your legal bill.

    When the landlord gets an Order to Comply which is outstanding for 35 or more days, and you have stopped paying you rent, he can not legally evict you for non-payment. If he tries, I'll work to have him pay you up to $20,450.00, refund you up to 4 years of your rent and pay you additional damages and your legal bill.

    If your rental is located in the city of Los Angeles and was built before October 1, 1978, its covered by the Rent Control Law known as the LARSO.  If the landlord has not registered your unit with LA Housing Department, the RSO prohibits him from collecting rent from the tenant. If your rental is not registered, chances are - its an illegal unit.                                                                                   Check if my rental registered?

    If your apartment is roach infested, has bed bugs, mold, or one or more of a variety of other issues, and you told the landlord of the problem but the landlord has not fixed it, you are entitled to a partial refund of rent that you paid him from a date after that you told him about the problem, plus additional money damages. Depending on what your rental agreement says, the landlord may have to pay your legal bills for going to court too.

    There are many other California State housing laws and LA Rent Stabilization Ordinance rules with which I'm familiar that I will use in court to get you money from the landlord, stop your eviction for non-payment of rent, and even get the landlord to pay your legal bill...
