Streeter, Acting P.J.
*29*242Shameka Winslett filed a complaint asserting various claims against her former landlord Yugal Sagi and his LLC after he failed to make repairs to her apartment and filed an unlawful detainer action against her. Sagi responded by filing an anti-SLAPP motion to strike three of these claims, for retaliation and retaliatory eviction under Civil Code section 1942.5,1 former subdivision (c)2 and for violation of Oakland Municipal Code section 8.22.300 et seq., known as the Oakland Just Cause For Eviction Ordinance (the Just Cause Ordinance). The trial court granted the motion, with an award of attorney fees and costs to Sagi. Winslett now appeals, claiming the court erred by ruling that (1) the litigation privilege bars her retaliation and retaliatory eviction claims under section 1942.5, and (2) her claim for violation of the Just Cause Ordinance was based on protected activity under the anti-SLAPP statute. We agree on both counts and shall therefore reverse. I. BACKGROUND
