Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

3 Day vs. Lien

I willingly had a lien placed against my current workers comp case for current and future rent. This was an arrangement made with my attorney and property owner. Just recently my trial date was delayed two months and because my landlord was a lien holder on my case he was notified. The lien is for rent paid through 8/17/07.

Today, 7/25/07, I received a 3 day notice for rent due thru 7/26/07 in the amount of the entire lien amount but for a date 22 days in advance of the agreed upon date. The landlord has requested rent in an excess of $650 more than what would be the current amount due. Is this legal?

Is the lien still binding even if I'm thrown out earlier than it was agreed upon? Could someone please advise me on my rights? Thank you.

Re: 3 Day vs. Lien

I can give you a landlord tenant answer, but I do not handle any worker's comp cases, so you'll have to ask that again in the appropriate area, where a worker's comp attorney can help you. What I don't understand is why you are not calling your attorney regarding this matter.

Also, because you are already represented by an attorney, I do not feel comfortable giving you an answer to your landlord tenant question.
