A:
In California law, the validity of a plaintiff's complaint does not solely depend on the applicability of a specific statute like AB-1482. If the plaintiff's premises are indeed based on a misunderstanding of the applicability of AB-1482 to your tenancy, this could be a significant point in your defense. However, this alone does not automatically render the entire complaint null and void.
The plaintiff's mistake regarding the applicability of AB-1482 might lead to certain arguments or claims being disregarded, but the complaint could still stand if it raises other valid legal points or claims not entirely dependent on AB-1482. It is essential to address this specific issue in your response to the complaint and to bring it to the court's attention during proceedings.
You should consult with legal counsel to review the details of the complaint and your specific situation, especially regarding San Diego's local housing regulations. Legal professionals can provide tailored advice and represent your interests in court. They can also help you understand how the local laws interact with state laws like AB-1482 and assist in crafting a defense that highlights the plaintiff's errors in applying the law to your case.
