In 2021, the Los Angeles City Council adopted the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance (TAHO), establishing legal rights for tenants facing harassment from their landlord.

Actions such as refusing to do repairs, taking away services provided in the lease, attempting to coerce a tenant to move-out or intentionally disturbing a tenant’s peace and quiet. Through outreach and education programs, Strategic Actions for a Just Economy (SAJE) works with tenants to educate them on their rights and what to do when facing landlord harassment.
