Landlord Retaliates Against Tenants and Makes the News

Tenants in Ohio faced with retaliatory eviction for reporting habitability complaints to code enforcement received 30-day eviction notices.  But, these tenants went to their Legal Aide office and reported their complaints to local TV news!


While this story occurred in 2015 in Ohio, it's a classic tale of landlord retaliation, a story that is frequently repeated in California and across the United States.

Like Ohio, California has a state law designed to protect tenants against retaliatory evictions. And, rent-controlled cities like Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco may offer additional protections against landlord retaliation.
