DROP IN CLINICS

Tenants’ Rights 

Are you a tenant experiencing a housing-related legal issue? At our legal clinics we provide one-to-one legal consultation services. These consultation services can include reviewing eviction notices and notices of rent increase, drafting letters, providing legal advice, preparing petitions to rent programs, helping tenants respond to landlord demands, and providing other short-term limited assistance.

We assist tenants throughout Alameda County and Contra Costa County. We cannot assist with disputes between tenants, roommates, or neighbors, or with inter-family issues at any clinic. We can only serve tenants who meet Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Income Limits. Proof of income may be required to receive services.

Learn more about our eviction settlement help for tenants at our Shriver clinics, every Wednesday from 9am to 5pm. See our flyer for more information on how to get help and what to bring.

NOTE: our clinic schedule is subject to change. Please call our office to confirm the clinic schedule prior to attending.

Please email tenantsrights@centrolegal.org (Alameda County tenants) or cctr@centrolegal.org (Contra Costa tenants) or call 510-437-1554 to register for upcoming clinics and workshops.
