Under California law, landlords typically have 30 days to make all repairs once the tenant gives them written notice of the housing complaint.
-
However, if the landlord has not made the repairs in that time, your local health department or code enforcement department may help. Tenants can contact these government agencies to come out and inspect the property for housing defects.

The code enforcement officer will typically send a notice to comply to the landlord listing all housing defects found. If the landlord does not repair all defects within 35 days of getting the notice, they could be subject to legal repercussions.

If your landlord has not been responsive to your repair requests, call or DM for a free case evaluation. We can also help you with getting the code enforcement agencies involved.
