Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

CA UD case. House foreclosed in Dec. UD filed in February. Default entered in April. Lockout was scheduled for May 8. But Plaintiff's atty cancelled the lockout. They are offering to dismiss the case. But they want us to waive any future claims against them for the default that was entered.

We are just worried that they may try to enforce judgment later on. Please help us.

If the case is dismissed, there is no judgment to enforce. You might want to include a provision in the agreement that they will not seek to evict you again without just cause (i.e. failure to pay rent, nuisance). It doesn't hurt to negotiate and agree on terms that are favorable to you.
