Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: rental agreement

Did you sign an agreement? If so, you are entitled to a copy. Demand (politely) a copy, and then send a certified letter (return receipt) if landlord does not respond to demand.

Based on your description of premises, landlord would be wrong. Important, though, to see whether your lease forbids children playing, or not. It would be a help if you could e-mail or fax me a copy of your lease (which you do not have).

The law says you are entitled to "quiet enjoyment" of the premises. Here, kids wouldn't necessarily be quiet, but there would be enjoyment.

I think the best way to handle this situation would be to get as many tenants as you can to agree, and then have an attorney write to landlord. indicating a lawsuit is upcoming without a rescission of these restrictions.

E-mail, or call, if you need more now.

Good luck!
