Attorney Manuel A. Juarez is a Bay area Tenant attorney helping renters with housing and habitability problems ,  including the following:

Habitability Problems:

Tenants in California have rights.  These rights are protected by Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942.  Tenants are entitled to live in a danger free house or apartment.  The law provide recovery for violations of the Warranty of Habitability.  If you are a tenant who is having trouble with your landlord regarding the uninhabitable conditions of your dwelling, you should know that you are entitled to a working heater, functioning plumbing, good wiring and a house free of rodents and insects.  If you suffer of any of the below issues, please call: 510.206-4492.

Warranty of Habitability :  

Rat Infestation :  Mice and rats are rodents which plague homes and apartments where there are dilapidated structures, sewers, nearby canals or creeks, open or broken trash bins, open food containers or grains and foodstuff on basements.   These rodents multiply rapidly and if a rat is invading your home or apartment, it will soon multiply and cause a rat infestation in your home.  rats are dangerous because they are known to carry rabies.  if you or your child have been bitten by a rat, you must seek medical help immediately.  The urine and droppings are also hazardous to your health.  if you develop any respiratory illness due to the inhalation of the rat droppings you must see a specialist right away.  If you have a rat invasion , you must notify your landlord right away and ask him to remedy the situation.  You should also call the Law Office of Manuel Juarez at 510. 206-4492, for a free consultation.

Cockroach Infestation:  Cockroaches multiply rapidly and once in your house  they live in clusters inside your house, apartment, behind pictures, cabinets, inside walls and basement.  Exposure to cockroach feces can cause respiratory illnesses and asthma. 

Bedbug and Flea Infestations :  Ctenocephalides are common cat fleas.  One is more likely to be bit by this flea or by dog fleas.  They are easy to get rid off,  but their cousin the nepharious bedbug ( Cimex lectularious) is a more difficult type of blood sucking parasite to get rid off.  Once and infestation of bedbugs occurs, a tenant must immediately het help from a professional bedbug infestation expert.  The most likely occurrence is that all mattress and clothing must be thrown away because these parasites can lie dormant for up to a year and then come back to bite you again.  Call the Law Office of Manuel Juarez at 510.206-4492,  for a free consultation.

Lack of Heaters : In years past, a tenant without a heater was not a major issue in California.  However, in the last seven years, due to Global Warming, California has been experiencing severe cold winters which makes it necessary to have working heaters in a home or tenant's apartment.  An apartment without a heater could be dangerous to a tenant's health.  If you are a tenant without a heater in California, you have a right to demand a working heater from your landlord.  You may also have a right to sue your landlord if you get sick or suffer from exposure to the cold elements.  Call the Law Office of Manuel Juarez at 510.206-4492 for a free consultation.

Apartment Fires :  An apartment fire in California can leave you in the street without any recourse.  Landlords buy insurance to protect themselves and very rarely worry about protection for their tenants.  If your apartment or rental house has suffered a fire, call the Law Office of Manuel Juarez at 510.206-4492 for a free consultation.

Faulty Wiring :  faulty wiring is caused by the negligent installation of the house or apartment wiring.  if your switches are throwing sparks or hesitate to turn on the appliances of your residence,  or do not work continuously , you should notify your landlord immediately.  If you have suffered a loss due to faulty wire, please call the Law Office of Manuel Juarez at 510.206-4492 for a free consultation.

Sewer backups :  Sometimes a Tenant is exposed to sewer backups through no fault of his own.  The stagnating water, the odors and the waste can be harmful to your health.  You should notify your landlord of the problem .  If your landlord does not fix the problem or ignores you, then call the Law Office of Manuel Juarez at 510.206-4492 for a free consultation.  We can help! htsenant
