Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: Unlawful detainer answered

I rejected your first post because I couldn't understand what you are trying to ask. This post isn't much better, but I think I get the gist. Your husband's boss is also your landlord? If I understand it correctly, he is threatening your husband that if he doesn't move before the UD goes to court, he will fire your husband? You're in a pretty terrible spot if that's the case. Can he fire your husband? It depends upon whether or not your housing is tied to his employment. Can he ask you to leave before court? Yes, you should have left when you either received a 30 (or 60) day notice to terminate your tenancy, or a three day notice to pay rent or quit - the notice means that - pay or leave. It appears you didn't leave, and so he was forced to file a lawsuit. Unless you have a valid defense, he can certainly ask you to leave before it goes to court, but similarly until a judge orders you to do so, you cannot be forced to leave. As for the employment, there are a lot more facts that need to be discussed with someone in your area before you can reach any conclusions, but regardless of whether he is right or wrong, your husband will get fired and then its up to you to hire an attorney and pursue the boss for wrongful termination, if grounds exist for such a lawsuit. I'd suggest that if you want to keep your husband's job, you need to move asap.
