I am having to go to court this moring in regards to an eviction in Long Beach, CA.
I have received a 3-day notice in December for $260.00 owe on the rent for that month and another 3-day notice in January for rent due and this was served after I made numerous complaints to the landlord about these other tenants who constantly destruct my property in which I stay right above them. The landlord told me that he doesn't care about anything but the rent and that's it, and is not responsible for any tenants behavior. He's tired of being billed and the police coming out to resolve the problem. I was very upset by his words. The landlord has tried to give me money by attempting to force me out. He said that if I don't accept his money that I will be evicted and it will be worse. I have damages inside my home from the previous landlord who refuse to fix anything and the issues about forcible entry to my apartment. Both landlords have entered my apartment with notice and touch my personal things to aggrevate me for calling the police on the bad tenants downstairs. I was very shocked and felt like I was raped of my privacy. The landlord has refused to fix my clogged sinks and the apartment. I had withheld my January rent and recently 2 weeks ago, the neighbors put crazy glue in my door locks and I was lock out of my home from 8:00 PM until about 6:00 AM in the morning. I found out that the landlord had told the neighbors to due that to my front door because of my refusing his offers. The landlord said he would pay me for the damages what the tenat did, but now he saying that he is not going to pay me for the damages that had occured from the other bad tenants. He has given these tenants copies of my rental agreement and he told these these to do whatever they want to get me out of the apartment. So you understand me and these tenants use to be good friends until the guy has abused the woman and child abuse her child and I reported the abuse for the child's sake by request of the child, because of the child's fear and mother is still residing with this crazy man. These tenants just yesterday challenged me to a fight and continue to harass me. They backed down and I called landlord and told landlord that I will see him in court since the landlord likes to instigate and provoke situations for his own personal gain. An attorney told me to go ahead to court this morning and fight like hell because of the harassment which is illegal, the breach of confidentiality, the lock out, and all the forcible entry that had occured by the current and former landlord ( he came in my home while he was not the owner any longer and current landlord lied about not having the keys to my home, which it doesn't take that long to obtain keys to our apartments after a final sale). I was shocked and I want some advice on what my options are if I lose this case and can I file an appeal at the appeal court.
