He did not give me any Ellis Act information and is harassing me for an additional month of rent. Do I have any way to move forward?

You would have to see a tenant defense attorney. There are many non-profit defense attorneys available in the Los Angeles... View More

It is not trespass because she did not technically give you a notice in writing that she is vacating, and she did not enter by force. I am assuming that at some point she had a key. Does she still have personal items at the house.? If at one time she had a key, still has some items there, and she... View More

An unlawful detainer case was sealed by the courts following our settlement agreement. Does that mean neither of us can talk about it? Are there any restrictions for either myself or my former landlord?
answered on Apr 12, 2023
sealing means that the record of the case, including settlement, is not avaiable to the public other than the parties. Parties to the lawsuit may discuss with others, although should not, but it is hard to enforce that because it is hard to establish if one person talked to another.
Person signed a lease February 1, moved in, never paid rent or deposit (wrote bad checks for this). Never returned to property after outrunning sheriff during police stop on March 7 (has 6 warrants). Left all belongings but sent movers to retrieve some of belongings March 31. Texted landlord... View More

Following that, you must then mail a notice of Abandonment of Person Property. You have to wait 18 days. If tenant contacts you, they have... View More

Thank you
