Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: water turn off

Have the landlord give them a written 24 hour notice of your intention to turn the water off to make the repair. Work with the neighbor to make the repair period as non-intrusive as possible for both of you.

Re: water turn off

I agree with Attorney Moerbeek, however, if you are also a tenant in the building, then you are not the one who should be repairing the leak, nor shutting off the water. The landlord is responsible for doing so, and giving the proper notices to all tenants. Even if they are being evicted, it doesn't take away their right to lawful notice. If you are just being a nice guy and repairing the leak yourself (rather than bug the landlord), then I would talk to the neighbor who is being evicted, find out when it would be okay to turn the water off, and work with them.
