Causa Justa :: Just Cause (CJJC) provides free tenant counseling and case management for low-income residents of Oakland and San Francisco through our Housing Committee/Tenants’ Rights Clinic. We do not have attorneys on staff, but we can give you advice regarding your general rights as a tenant in Oakland or San Francisco. If you are having problems with repairs, rent increases, evictions, harassment or other problems with your tenancy, or if you need advice regarding fair housing and discrimination, please call us to make an appointment. Services are available in both English and Spanish. (If you live outside of Oakland or San Francisco and are looking for tenant’s rights advice, please see our Services Guide page).
