Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California

That doesn't make any sense at all. Seriously, it doesn't. Rent is what a tenant pays a landlord to possess real property. A levy is on property, including money in a bank account, that belongs to a judgment debtor, not someone else who is a third party and who is owed the money.

I agree with Mr. Roach. Something is strange here, in terms of the procedure and the basis for the appeal.

I suggest you consult with an attorney for an hour or so to review the papers and get some advice as to how to proceed. The fees you pay for the consultation will likely be a good investment in pursuing the money you are owed and fending off the appeal.

I agree with Mr. Roach and Mr. Perry. Your question it doesn't make sense as written. Maybe you and the defendant just don't know the right terms. Whatever the reason, your question is far from clear.

It sounds like your judgment is against the landlord and you are trying to intercept his rent payments before he gets them. Offhand I don't see anything wrong with that. The landlord's plan to use the rent money to pay his mortgage doesn't seem like grounds to block your levy. But I'm not an expert in such things, and I also haven't seen the landlord's arguments.

Whatever he's doing, it almost certainly isn't an appeal. A levy is not an appealable order, and appeals aren't handled ex parte. He's probably bringing some sort of challenge in the trial court.

I would need more information before I could give you a better answer than this.
