Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
landlord refused rent check paid on time
I paid my rental fee in full and partial payment of water bill due to disputed charges not credited. My landlord refused the check even through it was paid by due date and now stated my rent is late then taped a 3 day pay or quit notice to my door. I issued them a letter that I would be paying my rent in full and part of the water charges minus the disputed overcharges what are my rights and is a taped notice which could easily blow away sufficient notice served. I have never received my check back and they are crediting the water bill and then leaving my rent in the negetive even through my check clearly stated rent paid in full then water,sewer, trash minus disputed charges is that legal

I just answered this same question.
Re: landlord refused rent check paid on time
Is the water bill part of your rental payment? Does the three day notice accurately state the amount of rent past due? Did you put anything about our disputed overcharges in writing to the owner before you paid the rent? I mean, did you complain about the these overcharges before you paid the rent check that the owner still has in his/her possession?
