Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: Heat in Rented Apt.

You have several remedies available from breaking the lease and moving; rent abatement; repair and deduct; and withhold rent.

Because of the space requirements, as well as my time, I an sending a website from the Legal Aid Society of Riverside County which will give you detailed instructions on handling your landlord.

Also, it is frequently wise to retain a lawyer to write a demand letter to a landlord such as yours.

Feel free to e-mail, or call, my office if you need more help.
