Q: So I went to court for a unlawful detainer. A mediator made me feel like I had to come to an agreement I did not want t.
So even tho I knew it wouldn’t b financially possible. Long story short I been at my residence for almost 4 yrs when I moved in it was inhabitable. Due to the fires there was no housing so I needed to take what I could for my children. So I made this place a home with countless hrs and tons of money approx 30,000 over this time. My landlord agreed he would reimburse me for my time an money. Last I talked to him was feb 2022 when he came to see the new roof I put on. This was the second time he came in the 3.5 yrs I been here usually I just send him photos an receipts. Last conversation was let him know what cost n labor was. Then 2wks later I come home to find papers telling me that I had 3 days to clean up an move my 5th wheel that was not in violation I checked, from some unknown person wasn’t till then was it that I found out he sold it when I call to ask what this was about. The person who was on the papers weren’t even the people he said he sold it to? No email phn# or anything
A:
You need the help of an experienced real estate lawyer. The issues you raised go beyond a simple unlawful detainer matter. I suggest you contact a good real estate lawyer with experience litigating cases such as yours where your efforts made the property more valuable than at the time you commenced your tenancy.
Do not delay, or you may lose your rights.
