Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Calif.
no rent control I have rented 1 unit in a triplex for 3 years. 2 weeks
ago the existing property owner hands me a 30 day no fault eviction
notice. Then he tells me he has sold the triplex and its in escrow &
the new owner wants to move into my unit & that means that I only
get 30 days becouse of the owners moving in . Yesterday I was at a civic
outing & seen the new buyer there. So I walked over to him &
asked him when he was moving into my unit. He looked at me & said
WHAT! are you talking about I never said that. Are you crazy why in the
hell would I move into that little place when I have a beautiful two
story house out on the lake . Question can I bring charges against the
owner for making fraudulent claims in giving me a false notice so he
could close escrow 30 days faster.

Only the District Attorney can file charges. As I have repeatedly told you, it is a defective notice and you have to oppose the landlord's eviction based on the defective notice. You need to be focused on eviction defense and not on filing nonsense.
