Retaliatory Notice to Quit
I have been given a 30-day notice to
quit my month-to-month tenancy after
complaining to my landlord about:
1). decrease in services without
compensation
2). late payment penalty (I’ve never been
late but he instituted a $65 penalty
effective immediately if rent is not paid
on the first day of the month)
3). repeated violation of my quiet
enjoyment, as defined in my rental
agreement.

Further, I’ve been given a 30-day
notice, dated 2 November, delivered on
3 November, requiring my vacating the
premises by 1 december. Can I move
this matter to court without having to
wait for a notice to evict?

being evicted may i relocate to house going through probate
my grandfather recently passed away. in his will, he stated that everything be split equally by my brother and myself. a woman he dated for about a year and a half prior to his death is now contesting the will. previous to all of this, in 2002, my grandmother passed away. her assets were split equally between my brother, our mother (her daughter) and myself. that included her half of their house. as of now, i am be evicted from my current residence, they gave my mother and myself a 5 day notice to quit. i believe it is due to the fact that they were misinformed of my mother inheiriting our mobile home from her father, which is not true, she did not inheirit anything from him, she was not in his will period. we were given 4 options in the 5 day notice 1- to sell the mobilehome, 2- replace exisiting mobilehome with a new one, 3- sell the mobilehome to a third party and 4- apply for tenancy ourselves. our application for tenancy was turned down. my question is : that if myself owning 1/6 of my grandparents house, and my mother another 1/6, do we have the right to take residency at the home while the other half of the estate is going through probate and the contesting of the will?

Demurr
My landlord served me a 30 day notice to quit in February, then they
served me with an unlawful detainer. I filed a demurr. The points I
noted in the demurr are based on the fact that my landlord refuses to
give me a reason, financial hardship, and that I paid rent. A real
estate friend of mine feels I would lose the demurr because my points
are not meant for a demurr. He suggests I not show up for the hearing
on the demurr and move on to the answer. Would you have any suggestions
for my situation? I am also concerned about what I should do to protect my record in the event that I do have to move?

tenant destructive behavior
A tenant moved into one of our units on a 1 year lease 2 months ago. Since, we have learned that she and her boyfriend (also on lease) are methamphetamine users, fight each other periodically while disturbing the neighboring tenants, and have brought destruction to the walls in the unit, cut the window blinds, damaged the front door, changed the lock without permission (but then gave us keys when we insisted even though the lease forbids any lock changes), and cut wires to a light and installed a different one (without permission). They also continue to imply they’ll sue because they got hurt from the shower door etc. (brand-new contractor installed). We want to evict obviously, as everyday more damage or alteration of the unit occurs. Should we give a 30 day notice to move and state the various violations of the lease or a 3 day notice to quit considering that the longer they are their the more damage, disturbance etc.? Thank you.

Tenant given 3 day notice (nuisance) then paid rent
I recently served a 3 day notice to quit for nuisance due to tenant selling drugs, physical fighting with his significant other, disruptive visitors, etc. I am seeing my attorney in the next few days for an unlawful detainer complaint. When I returned home yesterday, the tenant had put a money order for the rent in an envelope on my door. I read somewhere that you could accept the rent if you advised the tenant that this payment will not preclude you, as the landlord from seeking a legal eviction process.
