Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
intolerable living condition
My landlord who is also the mother of my ex-girlfriend (with whom I recently had a domestic violence incident and arrest which was later dismissed)installed her in 1 of 2 vacant rooms in the flat in which my daughter & I also rent rooms. Now I must have a 3rd party stay with me at all times to intervene if hostility breaks out between her & my daughter, & as a witness for my protection. My landlord has also entered my premises without notification and upon my chasnging the locks, enters to visit her daughter, has taken away my backyard storage area and has forced me to remove all of my belongings and furnishings from the common areas under the pretext of having the carpets cleaned and the areas repainted for re-rental of the remaining room. Upon submitting a letter addressing these concerns on 9/26, and sending a copy of same registered mail on 10/8, I've yet to receive a response and have thereby withheld my Oct rent I expect to receive a 3-day notice or the like any day now. What else can I do?

Re: intolerable living condition
From what I read, the difficulties you and your
daughter face really go beyond legal issues. At
the risk of reading between the lines, I suspect
this is really an interpersonal dispute that will
not be solved by recourse to the legal system.
Were I in your shoes, from what I've read, I'd
not worry so much about who's legally in the
right.
Rather, I'd focus my energies on finding new
accomodations, preferably in a location where
you're not likely to have any involvement with
either your ex-girlfriend or her mother.
