I have been living at my present apt. going on 3 years now. The first year was very pleasant, but since they have gotten new case managers my living situation has become a total Hell. It started when I started asking for repairs to be made in my apt. There is holes and loose fixtures in the floor and ceiling. Then my neighbors started harassing me, I complained about the noise and the banging of the walls they were doing and I also called the housing authority and told them that my apt. was not being repaired.

Owner/landlord is retaliating against me because of an accident on his/my rental property.A guest of mine was visiting and had a serious almost fatal accident that was deemed willful and gross negligence on the owners part. The guard rails on my deck over the open water had been painted over to disguise the rotted out almost completly gutted wood rails, also not to code.At that time I did not know. He fell almost 14 feet below onto partial a concrete/water area when he leaned back onto it.It easily gave way and down he went. He is alive barely.

After being harassed multiple times within the week of change of management, I put in my 30 days noticed, which my landlord refused to honor. After a fight, and a lengthy letter explaining my legal right with documentation proving my moving out, I was ready to do my move out inspection, which my landlord never showed up for. I have waited 21 days for my deposit to be returned to me, and have been ignored, after multiple attempts to contact my landlord.

My story is long and complicated. The first 2 months I lived here, my electric bill was extremely high. PG&E would tell me my meter was fine. They only handle from the meter out. I went to my landlord and told him my central air unit ran constantly even when off. I wanted it checked. He never sent anyone. 4 months of high bills and we asked again in Dec 2012. His solution to the problem was to write a new agreement, removing my husband, so that I may start new service in my name. I was not present when 2nd agreement was made. My husband signed my name.

My landlord has harassed, watched another resident physically attacked us, opened our trailer and looked around. Tried to get three restraining orders on us, that were denied, he wanted us to stay in our space not talk to another person in the park, and to take our SHAME ON SIGN down. Trying to set our first amendment rights Freedom of Speech back 255 years. We know have a restraining order on him. We were served with a 60 day notice back in July 2013, with the wrong address on it. Then today we were served with a eviction notice from the courts with a wrong address on it.

In January of 2012 my partner and I entered into a residential lease agreement to rent a bungalow style cottage in a quickly gentrifying section of Hollywood, known by it's residents as "East Hollywood" in an attempt to associate the neighborhood with the quality and conditions found in it's neighbor to the west, West Hollywood. Unfortunately, after signing the lease the numerous repairs and rehab issues which were on-going and promised to be completed before move in were suddenly stopped without notice.

We have been living at this rental for over 2 years and never late on payment we were faced with a terrible matter in the first month which was bedbugs and had to go the er for information as we did not know what was happening but we still paid our rent and stuck it out then when we started seeing all the unhealthy issues and he was asked to correct it he stated it would not happen unless he raised the rent. We exercised our rights and he did not comply with the Code Enforcement but served us a rent increase.
