Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Matters involving landlord-tenant disputes are considered civil matters, providing no physical or violent crimes have occurred. Mere disagreements or arguments need to be handled in a civil court of law.
Frequently, the Azusa Police Department receives calls regarding landlord-tenant disputes. Although we do not become involved in these types of cases, we wish to provide some resources for those experiencing these types of issues:
