*Pro Tip: make sure you check your lease to see what conditions your landlord has for subleasing. 

There isn’t much that can be done right now because Isla Vista is not a city and thus cannot initiate a rent control program. If you feel like you are being unfairly charged, or that enough leasers in your unit are being pushed out then you may be facing an mass eviction. In that case come into our office or contact us at [email protected] and we can help figure out the situation with you. 

No, but be wary of the parking laws in Isla Vista! Plus, there are often costs associated with parking in certain locations and there’s the potential for parking tickets. We suggest you consider alternative options like on-campus housing. Santa Ynez, Sierra Madre, and San Clemente are all feasible options!

No! Only under very specific circumstances can a landlord charge you for having people on your roof. Even if the condition is in your lease, they need to prove that damage occurred in order to charge you and they can only charge you the amount it cost to fix it.
