Ultimately it would be up to a Judge. That said, you have no right to deny entry to a landlord or their agent on a blanket basis. You do have a right to require all those who enter to wear a mask and be gloved, and to maintain at least 6' social distancing. With those restrictions in place,... View More

No. That doesn't work. You still have to go to court. Your son could evict once he owns the property saying that he owns it and wants to live in an apartment. This is not a compelling argument for most judges at this time.

A little more information is necessary. But, if (1) your landlord provided the notice to quit, for whatever reason, and (2) waited the requisite number of days, and (3) then filed suit against you for eviction, but then (4) voluntarily dismissed the case against you. Then it sounds to me as if,... View More

First, this could be an unlawful rent increase. Check the civil code, I believe that your LL cannot raise the rent more than 10-15% per year, and they have to give you proper notice. Check Civil Code around section 1941. Next, about your security deposit, no, you cannot legally use this for last... View More

You cannot ban the landlord from ever entering your rental. You can deny any specific entry so long as you do not do so unreasonably. You can require basic PPP be worn by all visitors - masks, gloves, at least 6' away. The landlord cannot require you to keep your rental in "show"... View More

I think there are some details that need to be considered before determining what you can do. You said your lease is up, but it's unclear as to whether the lease for the property you own is up. If it is not, you will have to wait until the end of the lease period unless she fails to pay rent... View More

My understanding is that the moratorium is only for non-payment of rent. Any other reason (not money) for termination of a lease is still valid. I suggest you contact an experienced landlord tenant lawyer in that area for advice.

The standard NVRA lease form gives the landlord authorization to access the premises after giving the tenant written notice.

The Court strictly follows the required statutory procedure for complaints filed seeking eviction of a tenant. To avoid having a case dismissed for failure to satisfy the statutory requirements merely prolongs your problems. My best advise is you retainan attorney to represent you in this matter.

There is nothing that requires your landlord to renew your lease in any of the pandemic laws. Unfortunately, there are little to no protections for tenants whose lease has expired.
