Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Threats of Lawsuit
About 8 months ago we rented a house. Rental was on a as is basis (no security deposit).After a year of renting on a month to month we gave notice in the middle of the month only to upset the Landlord,Who decided it best to show the place immediatley.That was 1 week after the notice.Not liking the idea of being on display I said we will get out earlier So.the Landlord and I settled on a amount less than the notice that was given.I am now getting calls and threats of a lawsuit what are my rights?

Re: Threats of Lawsuit
You waived normal rules of showing the premises.
Did you have your agreement reduced to writing? Otherwise, there might be a lawsuit, but you have an excellent chance to win.
