Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Today I received a letter notifing that an unlawful detainer complaint was filed against me. I was never served anything , not even a 3 day notice or a 30 day notice by the landlord. the letter stated that access to the court file, index, register o f action or other records will be delayed for 60 days except to a party, an attorney of the party , or any person who can provide that they reside at the address name in the complaint or show good pursuant to an ex parte order. What does this mean? Since I was never served can I file any motions to have the landlord follow the legal procedures of an eviction? Also, the home has a serious problem of mold throughout the house. I have told the landlord numerous times about the problem and requested that it be addressed, however, my complaints were never corrected or addressed. Since April 2009, I have been seriously ill, not being aware that the black mold was the problem for my health issues. I have lost property and personal clothing due to the mold coming out of the hardwood floors throughout the home. What can I do about my lost and my health issues?

If the landlord did not follow legal procedures then you will be able to sucessfully defend the UD. However, for your cross-complaint and defense of inhabitability due to mode, be prepared with expert witnesses which should include a medical expert. Contact me directly.
