A:
If you're facing eviction based on false information, it's important to know that in California, landlords must have legal grounds to evict a tenant and must provide proper notice stating those reasons. If the eviction notice contains lies, you have the right to challenge it in court. Contesting the eviction can help prevent wrongful displacement.
The fact that the police were called but didn't mention anything related to the eviction notice might be significant. This could indicate that there is no documented incident supporting the landlord's claims. Gathering evidence and keeping records of all interactions can strengthen your case.
Consider reaching out to a legal aid organization or attorney for guidance specific to your situation. Understanding your rights under California law will help you navigate the eviction process. Taking prompt action can protect you from unjust eviction.
