Landlord–Tenant Lawyers in Los Angeles, California

Every tenant rights lawyer and tenant lawyer listing on this page traces back to the State Bar of California's official roll, filtered to landlord–tenant matters in Los Angeles. Verification describes profile identity, not quality or outcomes.

Los Angeles is home to more than 3.8 million people, and its landlord–tenant matters are heard at the Los Angeles County Superior Court: Stanley Mosk Courthouse, downtown. Los Angeles County Superior Court is the largest unified trial court in the United States, with dozens of courthouses spread across the county and dedicated personal injury, complex civil, family, and probate operations.

The law also keeps time: unlawful detainer deadlines run in days: a three-day notice starts most non-payment cases under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 1161. A tenant served with an unlawful detainer summons has ten court days to respond (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 1167). Security deposits must be accounted for within 21 days of move-out (Cal. Civ. Code § 1950.5). The plaque below carries the citation; the roster and questions that follow carry the rest.

Reading the roster in Los Angeles. Unlawful detainer practice is fast and procedural, so look for attorneys who handle evictions in your county's dedicated UD departments weekly, whichever side you are on. Tenants should ask about fee-shifting clauses in the lease, local rent-ordinance defenses, and legal-aid options given the short response windows; landlords should ask about notice drafting, most lost UD cases fail on defective notices.
