Landlord problems? |
This landlord is a physco alcoholic drug addict and is harrassing me as a tenant. I need to find an advocate. She is throwing me out because she has to bury her exhusband in Norway, and supposedly needs the money to go. I think she is lying, there is no truth to her words. Been on time with rent all the time, now she wants to kick me out and demands next months rent today. Or else get kicked out today. I know that she can't do that, but I need an advocate. Would anyone know of a local one that I could talk too? I live in Agoura, California. Any bit of help would help, just point the way and I believe that I can take care of the rest. That's illegal. By CA state law, landlord must give tenant 30 day notice unless otherwise specified in the contract. She also cannot demand rent earlier than agreed upon, that's also illegal. Contact a lawyer for more options and start looking for a new apartment. They know more specifics than anyone else. If worse comes to worse, call the police. Have your contract ready to prove you have a right to be on the property. If you have no contract (which would be VERY stupid) hopefully you have some sort of proof that you pay a monthly rent (like check images). Even then I believe you have all of your property at the residence they cannot force you to leave because that is generally proof that you live there. Unless, of course, there is violence or something serious. Either way start looking for a new place with a reputable landlord (i.e. property management company) and make sure to sign a contract that is concurrent with CA state laws. Source(s): landlord Call the housing authority in your area. Should be in the blue pages (government section) in your phone book. First of all she has to give you 30days notice by law before she can evict you and if you want you can go to your local small claims court in somes states its called a JP court and file an appeal on that eviction. The question is was the lease term month to month or was it on an actual contract of 6months to 12months? If you tell her you will take this to court most likley she would let you stay because there is a such thing as tenant/landlord rights. law Try this site. Maybe you can also file a complaint with them about your landlord. It's the CA Department of Consumer Affairs, whicch may have a landlord-tenant section. Maybe that agency can be your advocate. http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landl... |
