Housing Violations

See for more on Housing Violations

When you invested in a Los Angeles condominium or apartment complex, you may not have anticipated some of the legal issues that could arise.  In Los Angeles, there is rent control and strict enforcement of renter's rights.  Renters are protected under the Los Angeles Municipal Code and they can report you to the housing or inspection department if they feel that you have violated the law. 

The City of Los Angeles hands out severe punishments to landlords found guilty of housing violations, including providing tenants with "unlivable" conditions, and you could be prosecuted for criminal charges.  This area of law is highly specialized and you cannot afford to face these government agencies without an experienced Los Angeles housing violation attorney on your side.

The lawyers at the Law Offices of McGregor & Ernenwein have 50 years of combined legal experience and have had two decades of daily contact with the judges and prosecutors in Los Angeles.  When you are represented by a Los Angeles landlord tenant attorney from our law firm, you are working with someone who knows who to talk to and what to ask for to get your charges dismissed. 

Contact us today at 310-782-0552 for information regarding your Los Angeles housing violations case.

At the Law Offices of McGregor & Ernenwein, we represent Los Angeles landlords who have been contacted by the Los Angeles Housing Department and threatened with criminal prosecution and/or given notice that some of their rents are going to be forfeited to the Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP).  We can help you by: 

• Managing the bureaucracies involved, such as the City Attorney Housing Enforcement Unit, the Department of Building and Safety, the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles Health Department.
• Aggressively negotiating with the Los Angeles City Attorney's office to get either some or all of your charges dismissed.
• Assisting you with satisfying all the agency's requirements for your property.
• Focusing on getting your property released from the REAP.
• Going to court to negotiate your criminal charges and stopping the criminal proceedings.
• Avoiding potential problems in the future.
