Join us to protect tenant rights and prevent displacement, Downtown Los Angeles Skidrow.
The Skidrow Tenants Union, a member of the California Tenants Association, along with its councils, operates independently of Housing4Humanity, SRO, AHF and other private owners . Our primary focus is representing and advocating for tenants, ensuring their rights and interests are protected. While the properties and other private owners, we do not work for them—we work for the tenants.
If you are reading this page, you are probably stressed and overwhelmed. You have contacted too many agencies and are getting the runaround.
We WILL help you.
If you are a tenant in LA County, we will not turn you away.
We see excellent results for people who carefully follow our 18 Steps to Victory instructions.
Until May 2024, we saw a 99% success rate among tenants who followed our 18 Steps To Victory, including following our instructions.
Success means the best possible result, given the strength of your case.
The court made significant changes to its procedures on May 10, 2024, and again on November 14, 2024, affecting our success rate. We are responding by increasing staff.
Starting April 1, 2025, we will have 2.5 lawyers in each of the downtown courts and one on each of our four outlying court teams. We hope to get back to that 99% success rate very soon.
Follow along as we help you prepare for the trial.
The California Tenants Association is dedicated to advocating for the rights of renters in Skidrow. Our mission is to empower tenants by providing resources, support, and a strong collective voice to address housing issues.
Welcome to the California Tenants Association: Skidrow Tenants Union & Councils in Downtown Los Angeles .

FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
April 13, 2025
LOS ANGELES, CA — The California Tenants Union is calling for a powerful rally and press conference at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse (111 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA) on Monday, April 28, 2025, in response to a retaliatory eviction attempt against the President of the California Tenants Association.
This case is bigger than just one tenant — it's about the right to organize, to speak truth to power, and to hold corporate landlords accountable.
