Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I have been evicted in Modesto, ca, from an apartment complex. I have 2 children renting their own apartments at the same complex. My landlord says that seeing as I was evicted I cannot stay with either of my children at their apartments. The landlord claims this is Ca law.

I do not believe I am being given the correct information as this would be a violation of my civil rights?

Please advise

Ben

PS: there is no clause in my rental agreement dealing with this issue.

I would ask your former landlord to cite the law with a statute number or case citation. If you lived in Unit #1 and you were evicted from Unit #1, what does that have to do with what happens in any other unit in the complex? The landlord is trying to say your relatives cannot have guests? Check their leases for guests and subleasing restrictions.

Perhaps there is something unusual about the circumstances of the eviction?

I think Mr. Whipple is asking a valid question. I think there is something you are not telling us, such as the grounds for eviction, and what happened in the unlawful detainer lawsuit.
