California tenants have many rights, especially those lucky enough to have rent control. But knowing and enforcing these rights can be difficult. Fortunately, California Tenants' Rights, the leading tenant guide for over 50 years, provides all the information and key forms tenants need to:

• find a good rental in a competitive market
• understand the rules regarding service and support animals
• deal with a problem roommate or noisy neighbor
• stop landlord intrusions of privacy
• get the landlord to make repairs or deal with mold or bed bugs
• fight illegal discrimination, harassment, or retaliation
• break a lease with minimal liability
• respond to a late rent or termination notice
• get as much of the deposit back as possible, and
• fight an eviction, with line-by-line instructions on completing required forms.

The 24th edition includes updated information on state eviction rules and forms, local and statewide rent control ordinances, and additional anti-discrimination protections.
