Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Three Fold Question
Dear Sirs,
My father is the landlord of the building that I live in
thus, I don't pay rent. all of the tenants are having problems with cockroaches in the apartment, mine seems to
be the worst. I am not the Julia Child of housekeeping, I do
admit that I could be much more tidy, and I have a floor
where the wood is starting to rot.(I have a washing machine
in my unit. I had a few floods with the washing machine,
but this was not done out of malice and intent . My father
and I have been estranged for three months andI wrote him
about my situation because I need to go on welfare , he financially cut me off. I need income coming in . I left my
job, the situation was not tolerable.He said I can do what I want regarding having the social worker come in and see
the apartment. He said , the Social worker will report me
and force me to leave the apartment. Also, he said that
I willfully mistreated the apartment and if I don't get
my act together , I will be thrown out. My question is does
he have the right to throw me out.

Re: Three Fold Question
Yes. It is his property and you are a tenant, unless you have some ownership interest in the property. He must, of course, abide by the law and notice requirements before starting eviction proceedings. Good luck and thanks for inquiring.
