Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Is there anything I can do?

It depends upon what you mean by "asked to vacate." If it was the sheriff asking you, obviously the date of judgment entry would be earlier, because the authorities can't carry out an eviction until a judgment has been entered and the landlord has obtained a writ of possession.

It sounds to me as though the landlord successfully enforced an oral lease against you - perfectly possible if you don't mount a defense, and likely even if you do unless the oral lease was for more than a year. The enforcement was through bringing a lawsuit for unlawful detainer against you.

As to the mistake (?) or discrepancy in identifying the city, why is that significant? Are you sure you are right? Even if you are right and the judgment papers are wrong, is this really a miscarriage of justice or only a minor technical error? You can get a judgment voided when there is an error that causes a substantial miscarriage of justice, but not for misspelling a name or for mixing up Saugus with Santa Clarita - I'd say those names are legally interchangeable as the former has been soaked up into the latter by merger or something. It's a big "so what" legally speaking.

You didn't pay your rent when due, so I guess you're gonna pay it now. Plus interest and penalties.
