Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Refund of rent
The previous apartment I rented did not have a building permit by the city (Los Angeles) Can I get a refund of back rent and moving costs? The reason I left did not have to do with the apartment not having permits. There was not a safety problem.

Re: Refund of rent
You may be entitled to damages if the apartment was
not habitable. If there was a technical violation,
e.g., the builder did not apply for a permit but the
construction was up to code, I don't see how you
could recover.
