Legal Question in Administrative Law in California

If a person has been told by legal aid they have no excuse for not paying rent when I told them I was scheduled for emergency surgery, had asked to please be allowed to pay two weeks late and the apartments were federally funded low income housing , they denied help and also gave incoorect information...I later learned CC 949 provodes a judge to grant help - restore tenancy based on the circumstancesis - my words not exact phrase of code)...Is there any recourse.

After I got out of the hospital, I tried to get help but could not. Then, prior to the time limit, I reported it to HUD who it says online is responsible for fair housing and discrimination and the girl looked and me and said, "so what do you want me to do."

I am ill, unable to fiind help, am greatful I have a place to live in spite of issues here but this has left me in a position where it is close to - if not imposible for me to get any place to live between the eviction and now poor credit from medical bills.

I have sought help on numerous issues that are valid legal issues but civil, many complex and no one will help - they don't deal with those issues, they don't provide contingeny or pro bono, and numerous other reasons . It began when injured - 0 fault hit brom behind - but ins games and unethical lawyers left me literally loosing my home, all I own, my health, and emotional well being. I am 54, alone, dependant on SSDI and section 8 housing, need all my teeth removed because I could not afford to get them fixed when they could be saved, have lost my 4 million inheritance -again, no one will help with due to complexity, legal malpractice from powerful lawfirm and world famous step mother, and several other smaller issues.

It just doesn't seem right or that there would be nothing that could be done. I know life isn't fair and bad things happen but it seems like people who do things that make their problems get more help that those who are so disabled they are unable to do much of anything including get help.

I am sorry for your plight. CC 949, however, does not provide you any relief. It merely allows cities and other California governmental entities to settle claims brought against them instead of having to go to trial. It has no effect upon the courts nor unlawful detainer actions by private or Federal landlords.

CC 949 would suggest the Civil Code to most attorneys. There is no section 949 in the Civil Code. I'm pretty sure you and Mr. Shers mean to refer to Government Code (GC) 949.
