We have rented for 4 yrs the residential home attached to commercial liquor store. Landlord is owner of store/property. He tried to get city of poway to zone house as residential but city said no. So we live on a house on a commercial lot. Sdge raised rates. Old bill for our usage was around $50-100, now it is almost $500 a month. He said to pay by friday or he would evict us. Since he is renting to us on commercial lot, is that legal? Can I live rent free to save money to move? I paid the sdge bill but can I get it back somehow? Slumlords, never fix anything, we want to move but he is forcing us to pay more so we can't save to move. We have child and afraid he will get cops to move or evict us.
