A: To address your situation, you might want to consult with a lawyer who can provide specific guidance under California law. A lawyer can help you understand your rights, particularly if you're facing issues with false advertising and a landlord who is not fulfilling their obligations for repairs.

In California, landlords are required to maintain rental properties in a habitable condition. If your landlord is neglecting necessary repairs, this could be a violation of your rights as a tenant. Regarding the issue with the real estate company, if they engaged in false advertising, this could be a matter of consumer protection law.

It's important to gather any evidence you have, such as communication records or photographs of the repair issues. A lawyer can assist you in determining the best course of action, which might include sending a formal complaint to the landlord, negotiating a resolution, or, if necessary, taking legal action. Remember, each situation is unique, so getting personalized legal advice is crucial.
