What are the key tenant rights under California law?

In California, tenants have several important rights including the right to a habitable living condition, privacy, and protection against unlawful discrimination. Tenants are entitled to a written lease agreement, proper notice before entry by the landlord, and a reasonable return of their security deposit. Additionally, landlords must adhere to local rent control laws and cannot evict tenants without proper legal procedures. For detailed information, tenants should consult California’s landlord-tenant laws or seek legal advice.
