There are two sets of remedial provisions in section 1942.5. First, subdivision (a) prohibits certain acts by a landlord if they occur within 180 days of the tenant making specified complaints (§ 1942.5, subd. (a)(1)-(2) ) or of specified events occurring (id. , subd. (a)(3)-(5) ). Second, subdivision (d) provides that certain retaliatory acts by a landlord are illegal. While subdivision (a) and subdivision (d) are somewhat different in scope-most obviously because only a tenant who is not in default on her rent may invoke subdivision (a)-subdivision (h) makes "[a]ny lessor ... who violates this section ... liable to the lessee in a civil action." Because subdivision (h) applies broadly to any violation of "this section " (italics added), which of course includes subdivision (a), civil actions for damages appear to be available for violation of subdivision (a), as well as subdivision (d).
