Santa Monica & Los Angeles Eviction Defense Lawyers
An eviction notice is one of the most stressful things a tenant can receive. But not every eviction is legal — and even when it is, you have rights throughout the process. The Law Offices of Mitchell Rosensweig represents tenants in Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, and throughout LA County who are fighting to keep their homes.
We know the local laws, including the Santa Monica Rent Control Charter Amendment and the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance, and we use every available legal tool to protect you.
Eviction Defense Services We Provide
Unlawful Detainer Defense
We represent tenants in unlawful detainer (eviction) court proceedings in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, challenging improper notices and procedural defects.
Retaliatory Eviction
California law prohibits landlords from evicting tenants in retaliation for reporting habitability issues or exercising legal rights. We hold them accountable.
No-Fault Eviction (Ellis Act & Owner Move-In)
Even no-fault evictions must follow strict legal procedures. We ensure landlords comply and that you receive all relocation assistance you are owed.
Illegal Lockouts
A landlord cannot change your locks or remove your belongings without a court order. We take immediate legal action to restore your access.
Eviction Notices & Cure Periods
We review your notice for defects and advise you on your right to cure, respond, or contest the eviction before it reaches court.
Post-Eviction Claims
If you were wrongfully evicted, you may be entitled to damages including relocation costs, emotional distress, and attorney fees.
Areas We Serve
We represent tenants throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Culver City, Koreatown, Silver Lake, Echo Park, the San Fernando Valley, and all of Los Angeles County.
