My bf and I live in a large complex. There is a Sac Co. Housing Ord., that requires owners to register, take inspection course before marketing the unit; and unit was eventually cited for no heat, no cold water, inoperative lighting, electricity, roaches, mold, water intrusion in bath... the county housing authority just cited the owner and did nothing more.. we complained right when we moved in, after prepaying two months rent and deposit; LL would not refund, would not credit acct., did not offer another unit... was sued for ud and fighting abuse by attorney and judges...

This is a sad, sad, issue. My own father is my landlord. He offered, yes he offered to buy this house for me and my kids, ages 16 and 15. He moved me out here, 75 miles from my job so that we would have a stable place to live and the kids could finish high school without inturuption like moving schools.

I have previously posted information about unethical and illegal actions from 2 different persons who have acted as my landlords at different times. The 2nd landlord bought the property at 8915 Caminito Vera in San Diego Ca at a foreclosure auction and then sued my roommate and me in an attempt to evict us. He lost his case, even though we mainly used information we obtained from Tenants Together and we represented ourselves in CA Superior Court in downtown San Diego.

I have received an eviction notice from new owners of a property they bought in a short sale. The property was set to be auctioned, and the landlady was being foreclosed upon. The new owner says they did not buy the house in a foreclosure situation and that I am not entitled as a senior and disabled individual to any more than 60 days to get out. I do want to leave, but I must have a place to move to. Accessible and affordable housing is hard to find in Oakland. I have been hunting for a place for months. The stress from the new owners is hard to bear.

I received a letter staing my my landlord was in deafult with their loan. I was making my rent payments to their bank and now they have advived me to make payments to them even though they are selling the unit from under me. Do i have to pay them money if i need the money to move?

We/I and my co-tenants are in Sac County. There is no law/motion tentative ruling calendar for limited jurisdiction, really... there are no tenant rights advocates here. A motion to quash was filed and Judge ruled outside law, (after we disqualified for no cause the Judge who coerces tenants into mediation at bench trials).. we are filing a Petition with Appellate Dept and expect to go higher.. the bias is so deep and pervasive in this county .. it is really scary.

My roommate and I signed a 2 year rental agreement. When we moved in, we found our landlord had left 2 sawhorses, some tools and a huge 12'x 4'x 1 1/2' above ground planter in our back yard. The huge, unsightly planter was leaned up against the building. These things ruined the look of our small yard area and it made much of the area we paid to rent totally unusable.

In May of this year, we were illegally evicted from a room we were renting from a man who lived in the house with us along with another renter, who used falsified notice documents that we were never served and convinced the sherriff that we were 'lodgers', not 'tenants' with the right to a day in court, after intimidating the other renter to leave and claiming he had never lived there.
