Navigating California’s habitability laws requires more than just a list of code violations; it requires a strategic blueprint for litigation. In this one-hour intensive, we strip away the fluff to focus on the technical mechanics of holding negligent landlords accountable. You will learn the practical methodologies for identifying, building, and winning habitability claims, starting with how to distinguish high-value cases from non-starters by recognizing common fact patterns and statutory triggers.

The session moves directly into the "ins and outs" of the Implied Warranty of Habitability, teaching you how to build a case around specific California Civil Codes and safety standards. We will discuss strategic evidence gathering, focusing on how to prioritize and organize everything from government inspection reports to forensic photography to create a compelling narrative of neglect.
