A: In the future, any tenant experiencing a house or apartment problem should write to the landlord explaining the problem and asking for correction. If after a reasonable stood of time, there is no response, then the tenant should complain to the city housing inspection department. After the inspection, if the Landlord does not correct the problem, then I suggest calling an attorney. Most Lawyers will take the case if there are physical damages associated with the housing problems but others will take the case based on the technical violations of the California Civil Codes. Best of luck.
