**Notice to Readers**
Legal guides provide technical and practical information on everyday consumer law issues. They are written by the Department of Consumer Affairs' Legal Services Unit as a general resource for consumer attorneys and representatives, consumer complaint handlers, Small Claims disputants and personnel, reporters and others involved in analyzing, describing and administering consumer laws. Legal Guides are not written primarily for use by the general public and do not constitute legal advice. Readers should consult a lawyer regarding how legal principles and authorities may apply to their specific facts and circumstances.
