About Us
Visual proof is your power.
At Proof in Pictures, we believe every renter deserves to be heard — and believed. We provide the one thing landlords can’t deny: clear visual evidence.
Whether you’re facing ignored repair requests, unsafe conditions, or threats of eviction, help you build a clear, organized record of your housing conditions through documentation and education — useful for sharing with attorneys, tenant unions, or housing agencies.
We’re not a law firm.
We’re your visual legal support team.
What We Offer
On-Site Documentation Services
Our trained team visits your unit to photograph, film, and assess potential habitability violations. We create timestamped, high-resolution evidence that holds up in court, city complaints, and legal consultations.
Remote Guidance Kits
Can’t book an in-person visit? We send a DIY documentation toolkit — complete with a checklist, sample letters, a legal photo log, and step-by-step guides for documenting violations with your phone.
Claim-Ready Evidence Reports
We turn your documentation into a court-ready PDF for small claims, legal consultations, housing authorities, or tenant unions. Organized, concise, and ready to file.
Tenant Rights Education
Know your rights under California Civil Code §§ 1941.1, 1954, 1942.5, and local rent control ordinances (like Pasadena’s). We simplify legal info so you can advocate for yourself — safely and smartly.
Why Visual Evidence Matters:
Landlords may deny. Property managers may delay. But your photos and videos tell the real story.
