He pays rent as well, and his dad gave him absolutely no warning, but as soon as he said he was getting his gun, he went upstairs and we left as quickly as we could. He didn’t give him the opportunity to take any of his personal belongings, which he owns all of so hopefully his dad won’t touch... Read more »
I'm not sure kind of legal advice you are looking for? If you're concerned about an illegal eviction, there may be some novel legal argument to make, which is not my area of practice. If your concerned about threats that were made, you can report them to your local police department if... Read more »
Would the eviction process be used to remove tenants from unlawful residency..?
If code enforcement were involved would it be necessary for them to evict tenants..?
We need more facts to give you a certain answer but it is likely that you will need to file an unlawful or forcible detainer action to remove the dwelling if it is occupied as a residence.
I live in a single room occupancy its very unhealthy for me I was also going thru an domestic violence and when I asked repeatedly to move and even contacted victims of violent crime and the women's against violent acts the building management pretended to move me to another unit in the...

more info is needed.
clearly, this facility is not up to code.
you have an inherent promise of habitability when you move somewhere.
you can go to small claims; report to state and city etc
If the landlord is fine with it, could you do this to drive down your own personal rent? If you set everything up, find the other tenants/roommates and can pay on time every month, is it possible to do this on a regular lease without the others knowing how much you're paying?
First, it depends on the terms in your lease agreement. Most lease agreements provide that subleasing is not allowed unless you get the written consent of the owner/landlord. You should review your lease to see what is states about subleasing. Secondly, it also could depend on whether the HOA of... Read more »

more info needed.
you can always petition or sue for anything.......whether you can get a lawyer to take the case on a contingency AND collect anything is another story.
i would think contacting the owner of the establishment would make the most sense.
My girlfriend has been arrested for the second time for domestic violence. I want to leave, but I want to take our cat with me also. I am being forced to move out for being a victim.
more info needed.
a lawyer would want to review the lease and have a more complete understanding of the facts. Who has the lease?
i assume the domestic violence was in your apartment and you were the victim and the landlord is afraid of a repeat performance?
was this the... Read more »

The enterprise you are suggesting is a sublease. It is done on different scales from residential real estate, to large retail establishments. I suggest you find a model residential sublease or two on the internet, and read through the legalese, while keeping in mind that every problem the sublease... Read more »

It depends on what your lease says about the amenities. Typically, amenities are not included in the lease and would have no bearing on your rent. You can ask your landlord about this and see what their position is.
You should consult with an attorney that specializes in landlord-tenant law immediately. Unlawful Detainers have short response times. If you were served personally with the summons, you must file a response in 5 days or you may be defaulted which means you can lose the case.
My Landlord wants to sell the home Im renting from her. The real estate investor who is interested in buying the home first served me with a 30 day notice to "voluntarily" vacate the home. 2 months later the investor interested in buying the home filed an unlawful detainer with the court...

Make sure you have notified your landlord that you are unable to due to covid reasons otherwise you may waive your right to assert any of those covid protections as a defense to an unlawful detainer action if your landlord files one against you.
After moving out landlord informed me that I had scratched his kitchen cabinets and will be deducting $350 for resurfacing them along with $170 cleaning fee from my $2200 security deposit. Is he allowed to deduct anything from my deposit since he failed to give me the Pre Move Out inspection?
The law you are referring to is Civil Code § 1950.5(f)). The question is whether you requested a move-out inspection from your landlord.
A tenant can ask the landlord to inspect the rental unit before the tenancy ends. The inspection cannot be scheduled earlier than two weeks before the... Read more »
There is white paint on driver's door of his black car, which was backed into spot left of me. I have silver car with no damage on it. They dropped it off at paint shop today and texted me price to pay.
You should try to explain to him that you did not cause this damage to his car. It is always better to try to resolve these matters by talking to your landlord directly to find an amicable resolution. However, if he insists that you caused the damages, he will have to file a lawsuit against you to... Read more »

i suspect the Landlord is looking for a legal excuse to get you out.
more info would be necessary to go into more detail.
I gave the tenant 60 days notice to move out of my property, with a move out date of May 31. The tenant countered with a move out date of May 20 and asked to prorate rent in May. Am I legally obligated to prorate the last months rent? The property is in Torrance, Los Angeles County, California.
If the rental agreement does not specifically address the situation, and the tenant has properly given the 30 days notice, then yes, the tenant may move on any day of the month, and only owes prorated rent for the last month.
Do you have a written lease? If so, what, if anything, does it say about the landlord's right to come to the premises/enter a structure?
I live in California. I signed the year lease in August, the new company took possession January 1st 2021, they sent a notice out March 1st saying that rent would be raised effective May 1st.
No. A new owner buys property "subject to" any leases in effect at the time of purchase. That means they can not raise your rent for the time your current lease is in effect.
The plaintiffs attorney dated and signed document, missing stamp.
That's how it works. Plaintiff's counsel dates and signed the Request for Dismissal, then it is delivered to the Clerk to be stamped. Presumably, Plaintiff's counsel has served you with the unstamped copy, and you will later be served with the stamped copy.
So up front i would be paying 7200
[Without further context just answering the question and please do not take as legal advice]
For residential leases in CA, Landlord's may request 2 months' of rent for deposit (or whatever they call it) in addition to the first month rent that is due. Therefore, in your example... Read more »
We do not have it in writing that it was a gift, although he did tell multiple people. He apparently did not buy it outright but has been making payments.
If it was a gift, the answer is no. When a gift is made it transfers the title to the recipient of the gift without consideration or payment. As a practical matter, if he wants to take it back, let him because it means your relationship is over.
