I have lived in the same apartment for 14 yrs, & have never had any remodeling done, while the other 4 units have all had new flooring & bath & kitchen fixtures. My new landlord wants to raise my rent from $750/mo to $860/mo, so that my rent is the same as the other apartments. CAN HE DO THIS WITHOUT MAKING THE SAME UPGRADES TO MY PLACE AS THE OTHER APARTMENTS? I need help! I can't afford the rent increase.

Recently my Mobile home park has been under new ownership. The new landlords have been making tenants who have been living in the park for decades do drastic changes such as, getting rid plants, bikes, cars, sheds, ect. They show up and go onto the spaces and inspect once a week with out any notice. Its come to a point where its overwhelming and stressful to recived a 7 day notice to remove a bicycle. There is also no visitor parking and only allowed 2 cars at the space rented. If I want to have a visitor over, i must removed one of my cars and park somewhere out of the park.

Recently our county has been invaded by a for-profit housing corporation known as Inspire Communities. It is trying to buy up mobile home parks, then raise the rents unfairly. We are trying to get our representatives to enact a rent stabilization ordinance but are meeting with much resistance-- ours is a strong property-owners rights county--and now are faced with the daunting task of mounting the initiative process. We need help! William Constantine (atty- Santa Cruz0) has said he will write a "universal" ordinance that can be adapted by any community, but will need appx $5,000. to do so.

We moved into our place a year ago, there were several issues like kitchen drawers missing or nailed shut. There are wiring issues, mold in our bathroom, the toilet is constantly leaking and now we are all sick. Ny 18 month old has bronchitis now. Code enforcement gave our original landlord 21 code violations. Instead of fixing anything our landlord sold the property and now the new landlords know about the violations and they have also not fixed anything. We desperately need to move into a new place, but will need help with the moving costs. Do I call a lawyer?

The building was sold in December of 2014. The previous owner sold our private personal information to this so-called new owner without our permission and the new owner came in and raised our rent more than 50-60% in 30 days. All then tenants have resided in this building over a year. The new owner harassed me and made my life difficult when I asked him to give us 60 days for the rent increase. I've had to put a restraining order against him and his relatives. Now, I'm paying almost double for the apartment which is filtered with terminates and a host of other issues.

I have lived in my apartment for more than 7 years. When i moved in i did not have a pet but got 2 within a month or 2. I paid a pet deposit at the time I brought them home. 2 years later the apartment complex sold. The new owners have hadve owned this place for 5 years now. They have just told me that there isnt a record of any pet deposit. I paid $150.00 for all 7 years ago. They said if i cannot provide proof then i must pay $300.00 per animal,i have 3. These animals were here when the new owners took over. And why after 5years suddenly tell me this?
