Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: verbal agreement given 5 day for no pay can they?

Let's see. Can your landlord evict you for not paying rent? Uh, Yeah. Can the landlord give you a 30 day notice to vacate? Yes. As far as rights you have, you can avoid an unlawful detainer judgment if you move out before the trial. You will still have to pay your back due rent. P.S., you better get a lawyer to appear at trial if you move out to show the judge the case law, otherwise the judge may enter an unlawful detainer judgment which will make it very difficult for you to find another place to live.

Re: verbal agreement given 5 day for no pay can they?

You have a month to month tenancy. It can be terminated for any reason or no reason by the landlord on 30 day's written notice. But, it cannot be terminated for an impermissible reason such as race, gender, age, retaliation for reporting a problem to health department, etc.

Unless your landlord is getting rid of you for an impermissible reason, nothing can be done.

If you think you may be being discriminated against on based upon race, etc., or in retaliation for your exercise of your rights in other respects you should consult an attorney experienced in landlord tenant law.
