Even though it may not be a code enforcement issue, it may still constitute a "nuisance". Private parties, with very limited exceptions, can not bring a legal action for a "public" nuisance, but they may bring an action for a private nuisance. If you can't get the City... View More

You need to go to a Tenant's rights attorney immediately. I don't know what "court papers" means. Usually it takes longer to get a trial and then a judgment, so I don't know how much time you really have. Do not wait on this and don't rely on this forum to give you... View More

Well, is a pond with chickens and ducks in the front yard common in San Bernardino where your property is? What does the lease say about animals? You have a written lease, correct?

If your dog damaged a property line fence, you are responsible to repair it. More importantly,... View More
