\I’m trying to make a comprehensive list of everything that is going on to help victims of the Oakland fire. I’m sure it’s not complete because so many people in our amazing community are lending their talents and giving what they can to help, and not just by giving money. A few days ago, i saw that someone was collecting forms to make this type of list, but i haven’t seen the list show up anywhere. This is as complete as i could make it at the moment. Hoping it helps a tiny bit. Xoxo
P.S. if anything is missing from this list, please get in touch with me (https://www.facebook.com/jesse.jane.180?fref=nf) and i will update to include it. Thanks! Xoxo jesse jane

LEGAL ADVICE FROM A HOUSING LAWYER:
Hey. I moved to LA 3 months ago from Oakland, but I practice housing law down here. If you are concerned about an eviction in the wake of the fire I am happy to do a free phone consult. I can't represent you, but I can help you diagnose whether or not you are protected by rent control, what that means and how vulnerable you may be to possible eviction.
Additionally, if you fear a condition in your home that your landlord will not repair or pay attention to, I can help you draft some letters that will be crucial in compelling your landlord to address the problem or possibly lead to allowing you to legally withhold rent. I want it to be clear that there are very particular steps you must take and if you withhold rent before you do the right things, you will likely face an eviction.
If you're worried about your housing and you just need some reassurance about your situation or you're actually being evicted please let me know. Phone consults are the most I can do from here, but it's something. This is my google voice number. Please leave a message if I can't answer and I'll get back to you ASAP. +1 (213) 761-8310
