California Attorney General Takes Action Against SoCal Landlord for Tenant Exploitation
June 12, 2025 - 21:48
In a significant legal move, California Attorney General Rob Bonta has initiated a lawsuit against prominent Southern California landlord Mike Nijjar. This action follows an extensive three-year investigation into Nijjar's business practices, which allegedly involve widespread violations of tenant rights and habitability standards across his extensive portfolio of 22,000 rental housing units.
The lawsuit claims that Nijjar has systematically neglected necessary repairs and maintenance, creating unsafe living conditions for tenants. It also alleges that he has failed to adhere to various tenant protection laws designed to safeguard renters from exploitation. This legal challenge reflects the state's commitment to ensuring that all residents have access to safe and habitable living environments.
Bonta's office emphasized the importance of holding landlords accountable for their responsibilities, particularly in a housing market where many individuals and families struggle to find affordable and decent housing. The outcome of this lawsuit could have significant implications for tenant rights and landlord accountability in California.
