Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I take it from your post that you are not the former homeowner who was foreclosed. If so, you are correct in that you need to find an attorney in Sacramento who can assist you. Your post raises a large number of issues, and is not one that is going to be particularly easy to resolve via a free forum such as this. You need specific legal advice given your set of facts. I suggest that you contact the County Bar Association in your area for a qualified referral to someone in your area who represents tenants. It is not likely, given the number of attorneys (not many) who regularly answer Landlord/Tenant questions on this forum that you will get lucky and find somoene in your area. I wish you good luck.
