Eviction Defense

Tenants are far less likely to fall into homelessness with legal representation. Our Eviction Defense Center helps individuals and families stay in their homes. Our team also upholds the rights of renters to a safe, habitable place to live.

Stay Housed LA County
Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles is proud to serve tenants as part of Stay Housed LA County, a new initiative to connect tenants with resources about their rights and legal assistance. Tenants who need help can visit www.stayhousedla.org or call (888) 694-0040. 

Eviction/Unlawful Detainer

Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles advocates for tenants through eviction defense. We offer eligible clients the following services:

  • Counsel and advice regarding housing issues, regardless of whether an eviction is pending
  • Preparing answers to evictions
  • Preparing tenants for trial when representing themselves
  • Representing tenants in court 

Subsidized Housing Issues 

If you are a Section 8 or public housing tenant who is having problems with the Housing Authority, please call us at 800-399-4529. If you are a tenant with a Section 8 voucher, and you are facing the loss of your voucher, we can help you prepare for your hearing.

If you are a veteran facing the loss of your HUD-VASH housing voucher, we may be able to help

Slum Conditions

LAFLA helps tenants get repairs to their homes by seeking court-ordered repairs in eviction trials.
