Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
can my landlord evict me
hi, i have a landlord that i believe is
trying to evct me for two main reasons.
(1) she claims that i threw a party last
saturday, which i did not. i wasn't even
home. (2) i got attacked in the
building, in front of secuirty who
acknowledged that it was not my fault,
so i fought back. i got hit above the eye
and needed stiches. i didn't hit the guy
because some people broke up the
fight. she is trying to claim that i was
actively involved in the incident, despite
the fact that she only arrived after i was
hit. is there ANYTHING that i can do to
get this lady off my back besides move
out?

Re: can my landlord evict me
Please specify what you mean by "trying to evict" you. Have you received any 3-day notices, 30-day notices, etc., or just harassing phone calls from her?
Re: can my landlord evict me
Whather or not you can be evicted depends a whole lot less on your conduct and the truth or falsity of these accusations than it does on your contract with the landlord. If you have a long-term lease, it will be very difficult for the landlord to evict you; she would have to prove not only that the charges were true, but also that the conduct somehow violated your lease, which, even if factually true, probably isn't a violation. On the other hand, if you have a month-to-month deal, you can be booted out even if you are a perfect angel.
