The California Tenant’s Defense Guide
By Ngozi E. Bolin, Esq.
The California Tenant’s Defense Guide is a practical guide to California renters’ protections by attorney Ngozi E. Bolin, Esq., published by Pantraxxa. It turns landlord-tenant rules into questions a renter can ask before paying more, moving out or signing away rights.
About the book
A notice can look official and still be wrong. California renters have strong protections, but those protections only help a tenant who can recognize and use them.
The guide can be used in a crisis or read before trouble starts. Either way it prepares renters to protect their housing, their money and their next move.
A fuller overview of this guide is on the Bolin Firm’s page for the book.
