hello everyone, I have a case in the Small Claims Court with an owner of a vehicle who lived in the Apartment for 6 years that was denied parking in the Garage below the Building that we live in that forced us to park in the street where the truck was vandalized and received multiple tickets and towing with impoundment. The reason that the first roommate truck owner was asked to move in with the Disabled Elderly friend of ours was because he provided "In Home Support Services" and drove him around. Our elderly friend is a Month to Month Tenant because his lease ran out from 1985. The truck owner roommate paid rent to the elderly Friend who in turn paid the Landlord. Applications for Rent were filled out and letters were written, but we never received an answer. Unfortunately, the property is owned by the City so we are under State Law, but no one in the Apartment is Rent Assisted. The Building is Project Assisted. The Management Company who was managing the complex at the time is no longer there. I have a Durable Power of Attorney for our friend who is in the Hospital right now. I was told that the Case had to be filed by the Roommate because the truck that received the tickets was in his name. I was also told that the Validity of the Roommates Tenancy is at question despite the fact that the Management knew of our presence in the Apartment. The property is leased by a Corporation who hires the Management. At first it was the truck owner vs. the Corporation, then I added the previous Management Company as a Defendant because I don't want to leave any one out. Now I believe that I should amend the Case again and include our elderly friend because his written tenancy is a little more dependable for the substantial reduction of services that he used prior us being there for 20 years and it is in writing also. The parking permit that we were denied states that every unit is entitled to a parking spot with emphasis on the disabled. I believe that it is a case of discrimination that our friend's privilege was taken away, rented out for cash by a previous manager to someone who doesn't live in the Building.
The local agencies won't help us because it is a Project Based Rental Assistance. I am the person who put up the money for all the $10,000 expenses. Does it make sense for me to have a POA for both the truck owner roommate and a POA for elderly friend then I sue the 2 Defendants? Is the Judge going to think that I am nuts or a pain in the neck to the system? How do I address the situation. I have 50 pages of documentation in the case. THANK YOU.
