Hi Greetings,
Before 1 week, I came to CA (Bay area) for some job. While seeking a room, I found a landlord who let me to rent in his house. I paid the rent for the room in advance. Unfortunately I got fired from the job after 10 days. I asked for money back for the days I did not stay in the room. And the landlord refused me to do so.
Conditions:
1. There was no lease signing performed
2. The room I rented was of the landlord's son's room. His son was out of town, so he rented me for that uncertain period of time until his son does not return. If his son would return within 3 days, I would have to evict the room within 3 days. (This is inferred from the situation. No written or oral agreement on this).
3. The house was not registered for renting. Specially that particular room was not registered.
Can I sue for this case against landlord? Is the landlord legal ? I have proof of payment made for the rent.
