Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Where can I find information on the process of a large group of neighbors interested in suing 2 separate property management companies. The two properties have brought in large numbers of Section 8 tenants. In the last week the arrest charges have been: vandalism, assault, battery, burglary, posess controlled substance -( second arrest in 4 months, same offense) , mistreating a child, keep place to sell/use controlled substance, posession of ammunition by a prohibited person, threats of violence, receive/etc known stolen property over $200, use/under influence controlled substance, transport a controlled substance, revocation of probation. The tenants have caused an drastic decline in the quality of life for a large portion of town.
Thank you.

I assume you mean how can the neighbors go about suing the two management companies. You can not sue just because the new tenants are section 8. Each neighbror might sue, especially in small claims court, the proprety owners for creating a nuisance, distrubing their peace, etc., by not controlling their tenants and knowing that they would likely be trouble and not taking any steps to prevent the distruption to neighbors. Such type of suits have succeeded.
