Repair and Deduct Project

In the Fall of 2001, a group of Bay Area agencies and individuals came together to create the Repair & Deduct Project.

The goal of this project is to raise renters' awareness of their rights, and to increase renters' access to vital home repairs to which they are legally entitled.

We have provided information for renters on their rights regarding home repairs, and how renters may go about getting those repairs taken care of. Our Repair and Deduct Self-Help Informational Packet outlines rights to repairs, practical steps to getting repairs done, sample letters to managers, and legal resources for renters with unresponsive landlords to turn to.

If you are a renter in need of repairs, please call the Repair and Deduct Project Hotline:

Berkeley and Oakland: 1-800-806-8111

San Francisco: 1-415-782-8903

These hotlines give you access to the Repair and Deduct Self-Help Informational Packet. You may also download an electronic copy of the Packet in English, Spanish or Chinese.
