The law library has research materials that can help you research landlord-tenant questions in California.

If you would like to speak with someone to ask your questions about this topic directly, there is a specialized unit of legal assistants that deal only with issues of Landlord-Tenant law.  This is the Shriver Project’s Landlord-Tenant Assistance Center (LTAC for short).  If you need information (not advice) on a Landlord-Tenant issue, we encourage you to contact them at (661) 610-6299, or email them at ltac@kern.courts.ca.gov.

WALK-IN ACCESS

If you want to meet with LTAC in person, you can visit in person in the law library.

Their walk-in hours are:

Monday – Thursday: 8AM-2PM

Friday: 8AM-12PM

They can also be reached at (661) 610-6299, or via email at ltac@kern.courts.ca.gov.

If you do not get through to an LTAC staff member directly, you should leave a message with clear contact communication , a case number if you have one, and you should note if you are the tenant in the case.
