Persistent housing problems can affect your routines, belongings and sense of security. Jonathan D. Winters represents tenants in Long Beach and the Los Angeles area in disputes involving unsafe rental conditions and landlord conduct.
His practice includes mold and water intrusion cases, complex habitability litigation, class actions and related individual tenant lawsuits.
When repair problems become an ongoing dispute
The firm’s evaluation considers what happened at the property, when the landlord received notice, what repairs were attempted and how the conditions affected the tenant. Jonathan handles matters involving:
- Water leaks, persistent dampness and mold
- Insects and other habitability concerns
- Construction nuisance and disruption
- Suspected asbestos and related housing complaints
- Landlord harassment and retaliation
- Multiple related conditions affecting tenants at a property
Individual attention in complex litigation
A building may have shared problems, but each tenant’s experience and evidence can differ. Jonathan’s current work includes a complex tenant class action and related individual civil cases. He evaluates the broader history while paying attention to the facts of each person’s situation.
Whether a matter can proceed individually or as part of a class action requires separate evaluation. The firm can discuss the circumstances and potential representation.
Preparing to discuss your situation
Have a short timeline ready if possible. Useful records may include repair requests, landlord messages, notices, photographs, inspection reports and receipts documenting losses or displacement. An initial inquiry can simply describe the main problem and the city where the property is located.
Trial and appellate experience
Jonathan represented the tenant in Hersey v. Vopava (2019), a published California decision addressing costs and successive settlement offers in a habitability dispute. His work includes mold and water damage litigation and other complex plaintiff matters.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Your case depends on its own facts, evidence and applicable law.
