Do I have a case against my landlord for habitability issues? How do I get let help?
Asked in El Cajon, CA on April 28, 2026 Last answered on May 1, 2026Physical Injury: I sustained significant bites due to an unaddressed pest infestation on the property. Environmental Hazards: Visible mold growth and persistent dampness pose a direct respiratory risk. Safety Breaches: Multiple fire code violations have been identified, compromising the building's safety. Due to these ongoing issues and the hostile nature of current management, I am requesting a full refund of all associated costs and immediate remediation of these hazards.

these are evidence heavy and fact intensive cases - meaning document what is going on with emails, photos, texts, and try to make sure it is not a he said/she said scenario. Get your lease together, obtain all reports for maintenance, photograph bites and bugs that big you. Photograph the mold and pay for a mold spore test with a control sample to see if there is enough to support the case. Reach out if you need more assistance.
