    My landlord just suddenly informed me I have 60 days to vacate after 11 years of never missing a rent payment and me doing all the repairs including tree trimming because the HOA was complaining about trees. I was in sock and terrified of having anything negative added to my credit record. I asked if I could look into purchasing the unit or stay just one more year until my daughter graduates high school but nope even though in the past she would say yes one day I could purchase. Had no idea how many rights tenets have now but she is the exact reason why! Thank You so much for sharing this valuable information, so helpful. I just do not understand why a landlord would be this bad?

      Perhaps, try being a landlord yourself? Landlords have to pay increased property and insurance, have to abide by building codes which costs,... etc...

      Hang in there, and know that you're not alone in feeling frustrated by the imbalance of power in situations like this. Hopefully, this leads to finding a landlord or housing situation that truly values you as a tenant.

    Why does it seem like in California there are hundreds of laws protecting a tenant against a landlord, but there's no protection against the land lord raising rent?

    If the tenant pays after the eviction notice is posted will that stop everything?

    • @20250ai

      Yes, if the tenant pays the full amount on the notice, it stops the process completely. If the tenant pays partially, you should issue a new 3-day notice and file the unlawful detainer after that. I believe if the landlord accepts partial payment, it's considered a settlement or agreement of the new payment, so it will reset the process or the judge will most likely to rule against the landlord once the landlord accepts any payment.

    My aunt was in a house in California the property was foreclosed on this was back in 2011. The old landlord didn't tell her he kept asking for rent payment on a property he no longer owned. My cousin checked found out he didn't own the home she stopped making the rent payment to him. He quit calling her when she told him they found out he didn't own the property. The bank never contacted her she lived there for 5 years until finally a real estate agent showed up asked her if she was willing to take 15k dollars to move out. She moved and bought another home.

      Thanks for sharing that story, Mike-what a wild situation! It’s shocking how long your aunt was able to stay in the property without being contacted by the bank, and it’s frustrating that the old landlord kept collecting rent when he no longer owned it. Sadly, situations like this highlight how chaotic foreclosure processes can be, especially back in the aftermath of the 2008 housing crisis.
      It’s also not uncommon for banks to take years to address properties post-foreclosure, which is why situations like your aunt’s happen. In some cases, banks or real estate agents will offer ‘cash for keys’ deals, like the $15k she was offered, to encourage tenants or holdover occupants to leave without going through lengthy eviction proceedings.
      It’s great to hear she was able to turn the situation around and buy another home in the end. Stories like hers are a reminder of how unpredictable property ownership and tenancy can be, especially during foreclosure situations.

    Hey Steve, are you saying that my big good idea to negotiate with a tenant before posting a three day notice?

    • @goodlifepropertymgmt
      @goodlifepropertymgmt  4 місяці тому

      Great question! Yes, I’m suggesting that it’s always a good idea to try and negotiate with a tenant before posting a three-day eviction notice, if possible. Open communication can sometimes resolve issues without having to escalate to formal eviction proceedings, which can be stressful for both sides. Of course, there are times when legal action is necessary, but trying to work things out first can lead to better outcomes for everyone involved.

    If the tenant is requesting a jury trial, how long (minimum) could that delay the trial?

    • @goodlifepropertymgmt
      @goodlifepropertymgmt  3 місяці тому

      In California, if a tenant requests a jury trial during an eviction process (unlawful detainer), it can delay the proceedings significantly. The exact timeframe can vary depending on the county and the current court backlog, but a jury trial could push the timeline out by several weeks to several months beyond a typical bench trial.
      On average, an unlawful detainer case that is uncontested might be resolved within a few weeks, but once a jury trial is requested, it adds layers of preparation, pre-trial motions, and scheduling that extend the duration. Some cases have seen delays of up to three to six months or more, particularly in areas with high case volumes or limited jury trial availability. It’s essential to consult with a local real estate attorney or check with your county court for specifics related to your area.

      Watching this video while waiting for my eviction notice... From not paying the landlord after waiting 2 yrs for him to fix a leaking roof where mold is now crawling up the walls and every single storm we are placing pots under the leaks. So yeah, landlords have no rights is a total laugh as he hands over an unlawful detainer and forces me to spend money on a lawyer to defend myself from just wanting a habitable unit. (fyi, the landlord believes even with the leaking roof he deserves "market rate" rents on the unit. It would be laughable if it wasn't true.
