Los Angeles is the most unaffordable metropolitan area in America.

When adjusted for housing costs, L.A. County’s poverty rate is 26.9% – the highest in the nation. With 289,144 people living at below half the poverty line and spending at least 90% of their income on rent, Los Angeles has become a city filled with precariously housed individuals and families who could easily join the legions of already homeless.

Especially in LA, homeless individuals are on the streets due to an unlawful tenant situation such as wrongful eviction, unlawful detainers, habitability defects, illegal dwellings and rent control violations.

This is where Tenants of LA comes in. We have prevented hundreds of families from wrongful evictions across the Los Angeles County. Our mission is to educate the millions of Los Angeles residents about their tenant rights and connect them to free legal consultation.
