Are there ways to reduce / manage my liability risks? Thank you.
Most landlords have a liability policy with a big umbrella. You also need to make sure your lease is well written. We cannot give you specific advice without answers to the above. You should sit down with a good lawyer and go over everything.

Your written statement is very unclear. Perhaps it would be easier to explain in a phone call. Many attorneys offer free initial consultations by telephone. Good luck.
I live in a large house that rents out 9 rooms to individual tenants. I rent one of those rooms. One of the tenants has two guests over. While the tenant is away the guests get in a fight. A physical altercation is allegedly made between the guests. The police are called and are let into the house... Read more »
No, police cannot lawfully enter a room rented by an individual not involved in the altercation without the consent of the occupant.
I was fired from job when the police came to my home to arrest me for an alleged crime. I am an apartment manager and so I will be out of a job and a place to live, and I was wondering if this is legal for my landlord to do before I'm even convicted yet?
Yes, it is lawful for an employer to terminate an employee who has been arrested when the arrest has not yet lead to a disposition. Whether or not you are eventually convicted or not is not material to the analysis.
Good luck to you.
The tenants were served the complaint and summons on 12/27. Yet they filed their response on 12/16. Is their response valid? It seems that they are putting the cart before the horse.
Generally, when a case is filed a defendant can file a response without being served, if they so choose. Not clear from your post how they knew about the complaint, but the response would not be invalidated just because they were served afterwards.
There's a new born baby at the house and a new mom that cant get the vaccine so we don't feel safe letting her in at this time.
The answer to your question is going to be governed by Civil Code section 1954, along with a careful analysis of the facts. First, read Civil Code section 1954. It discusses specifically the situations under which a landlord can enter the rental premises. If the "inspection" your... Read more »
Denied because it was over 15pg limit. And the Default Judgment happened because I did not answer the complaint due to the fact I was not served documents. I found out too late when I looked up my case at the courthouse. Unlawful Detainer case.
You need to hire a competent CA attorney. Otherwise you will lose possession.
she has enterd by forcing the locks or the back door and ignored my no tresspassing sign and my direct statement to her telling her not to enter when im not home.
is this not a missemeanor? last night she remained in the house for some hours and i had to sleep elsewhere to avoid confrontation
sounds like a Trespass and i would have called the police.
however, this site is really for those doing the wrong thing, not the victims.
Since I rent biweekly shouldn’t I only have to give a weeks notice?
People are allowed to enter into contracts providing any terms they want, so long as the terms are legal (i.e., if you had a contract to murder someone, the terms would not be legally enforceable in court.) Since it’s perfectly legal to include any number of days’ notice prior to termination,... Read more »
So my roommate is trying to take me to small claims court, says I didn’t pay rent a couple months, but I did it was late a couple times and others I have paid in cash. (No receipts) but he also broke our agreement and let two people move in without paying any rent for a whole year. When our... Read more »
The short answer is, yes, you can counter sue him in small claims court. Look at your Court's website for information on how to do that. The bigger question is how do you think you can prove that you made the payments, in cash with no receipt? Paying cash can be good but you always get a receipt.
There’s a sign that says no running, no scooters, no bikes roller skates etc on the building wall. And today we got a letter posted (all apartments) saying that some of us are breaking the rules and that we signed a contract and if we keep violating the rules they’ll take further action. Now...

Your rights and obligations are defined by the rental agreement/lease.

You can contact the Los Angeles County Health Department and report the infestation. They will most likely come out and do an investigation or evaluation and take remedial steps to stop the infestation, because it is a health issue. Then you can inform the landlord of what she should have done.... Read more »
Landlord straight up missed the 21-day deadline in CA to return security deposit and itemized list of by a full week. They printed invoices with bulk items such as 22 1/2 hours for "deep cleaning" or 1200 in wall repairs without itemizing each individual thing that was repaired, exactly... Read more »
File a Small Claims case. The judges in SC are very strict about the procedural requirements. Be aware the LL can file a counter claim for damages, not subject to the 21 day rule. Negotiate a compromise to pay the "legitimate" deductions and get a refund for the rest.
They tried to serve me 3 day notice after i paid rent and charge me more money for something that i didnt owe im only 23 and i work hard to make ends meet i want to know my rights
As a Tenant, most of your rights are contained in your rental agreement or Lease. Both you and the LL have rights stated there. The LL gave you a 3 day notice to correct or quit because of a missing hub cap on your own car? I have never heard of such a notice, and cannot imagine a provision in a... Read more »
The squatter does not pay for anything in the house. What can we do to get him out? My client the owner of the house who also lives there is disabled.
This sounds like an odd situation, with the owner living with the squatter. If he really wants the squatter out, provide him with 7 days notice to vacate the premises, and that after that he will be considered a trespasser. After 7 days, contact the local Police for assistance.
If I rent an apartment and and it has a safe that has been bolted to the floor it's not mine do the police have jurisdiction to search it
With a valid warrant, yes. Without a warrant but where there exists what the law calls "exigent circumstances," yes. But also in the law, everything is in the details, and so it is possible that the search may have been unlawful. So for a reliable answer to your question, the details of... Read more »

If you have a valid lease with your tenants which runs through February, 2022, you can't force them to leave before then. A lease is a contract. Your best course may be to try to negotiate a buyout.
Yes absolutely. It is a statutory requirement. If you offer and they decline because of COVID-19 , that’s fine, but you still have to offer a walk through at least two weeks before the vacate date.
Thank you
