Support Tenant Eviction Defense
Your gift helps California tenants understand their rights and respond to eviction lawsuits before it is too late. Tenant Eviction Defense is an IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit public benefit charitable organization — every donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Why Your Support Matters
Every year, tens of thousands of California tenants face eviction without access to the information or resources they need to protect themselves and their families. Many lose their homes not because they had no defense, but because they did not know their rights or understand the steps required to assert them.
Your donation to Tenant Eviction Defense directly supports our mission to provide educational resources, procedural guidance, and personalized support to California renters facing eviction. Every contribution — no matter the size — helps us reach more tenants, publish more resources, and expand our community outreach programs throughout Southern California.
How Your Donation Makes a Difference
When you donate to Tenant Eviction Defense, your contribution directly funds the following programs and initiatives.
Educational Resources
We publish and maintain a library of articles, guides, and informational materials on California landlord-tenant law and the unlawful detainer process. Your donation helps us keep these resources current, accurate, and accessible to every California tenant who needs them.
Community Outreach
We host Landlord-Tenant Law and Eviction Procedure workshops by Zoom for tenants throughout Southern California. Your donation helps us expand these workshops to reach more tenants in more communities.
Printed Materials
We publish and distribute the Tenant's Unlawful Detainer Procedural Guidebook and Reference at civil division courthouses throughout Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties. Your donation helps us print and distribute more copies to tenants who need them most.
