I have been living here for 23 years. the new landlord is upset cause the roof fell and section 8 told him he needed to fix and stop payment for one year so now he gets upset with me and wants me to move gave illegal eviction notice yet accepted my money for rent> does not want me to tell section 8 nor the court? basically if I do not ask for things to be fixed then I can stay? it's a form of Bullying the tenant. what can I do to protect myself against this ? in 23 yrs, I have tolerated rats, fallen ceilings, rugs since 1970 and now this. I am a student and disabled. low income

we had problems with a company in corona calif. illegal evictions and scare tactics , harrasment etc. i have a attorney working for us pro-bono and they have found many laws they have broke over the past.
After the new landlord bought our building over a year ago they had someone from corporate look us in the eye and promise not to raise rent. This year they raised all tenants rent 9-10% with no negotiation or consideration for good tenants who were here many years before they took over. After I learned of this I let them know I was going to form a tenant association within the building to give the tenants a stronger voice against the new landlord.
I am 53 and have been on SSDI for over a decade. My landlord of eight years was informed of my disabilities prior to my moving into a 10 unit complex for seniors, handicap, and disabled tenants.
Renting a single wide trailer in a shady park. Trailer had water damage and what appeared to be mold. Mentioned it and then I noticed that someone had come in and painted over the areas of concerns. Faulty electrical system, plumbing problems. Rat infestation, oven quit working. Harrassed my fiance and threatend to call the sherrif because she was there.
I was a tenant in foreclosed house that had habitability issues. The new owners (investors) came in and agreed to fix everything within a reasonable fair amount of time. They did however agree to fix the plumbing issues right away. I signed a lease with them that included they were going to fix the plumbing issues. I gave them rent and waited 45 days of promise after promise. No working kitchen sink made the house uninhabitable. I found the legal grounds to withhold rent and notified the new owner that I was exercising my rights under civil codes.
I was evicted because I asked numerous times to have things fixed and they never did and for harassment to my kids and discrimination to my kids
Landlord constant harrassment and entry into the property to inspect our personal belongings, and when I wrote a formal letter to the landlord asking to stop the harassment the landlord retaliated by serving a termination of lease. Landlord entered the condo without any authorization to show to prospective tenants without any respect to our privacy. Landlord attempted to assault me when I came to turn in the keys to the property in front of the people that were cleaning the rental unit. Landlord tried to keep my security deposit of $2,000.00, but I applied my deposit as my last month rent.
