Ok and it is correct that they raise the rent and they do not fix anything in the apartments there are mice there are spider cockroaches the windows and doors are not safe and the owner has been told and he only says in 3 months to fix and only arrives but to raise the rent I think that is not correct

The answer will depend in large part on who owns the dryer. If owned by the landlord the dryer is an amenity provided by the rental agreement and should be maintained by the landlord until it is withdrawn, if at all , from being provided as an amenity. The maintenance would extend to cleaning the duct as that is necessary to the dryer's overall function. If the dryer is owned by the tenant and merely hooked-up the landlord's provided vent then cleaning the duct would fall to the tenant. However, in either case the landlord should pay attention and be concerned, as a blocked dryer vent can sometimes create a fire hazard.

We cannot give legal advice, but we would observe the following. Due to emergency rules adopted by the California Judicial Council on April 27, evictions are essentially not available until mid-October or later. If the sale is closed the buyer should not count on being able to take possession for months to come. They would have the legal right to enforce the notice given by the seller, but just will not have the mechanism to do so until the courts resume evictions. Because of how the rule is written (90 days from the lifting of the emergency, which has not yet happened), it is plausible there will be no evictions for the remainder of 2020. If there is a contingency requiring the property to be deliver vacant the buyer could back out. If there is no contingency or they just really want the property they can expect to wait quite a while before they could move in to the house. A possible alternative would be to give the in-place tenants a financial incentive to vacate.

If you are a person with disability and need the emotional support animal (ESA) to allow you to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the housing, the landlord would have to make a reasonable accommodation to allow the ESA at no additional charge. This is the case even if they claim certain limitations regarding animals or normally charge pet deposits and/or rent. The exception would be if they could show allowing the animal presents an undue financial and administrative burden (unlikely), or that the particular animal would present a verifiable direct threat to the health of safety of other residents.

In general a landlord is responsible for maintenance of the plumbing. If the break is because of tenant negligence, misuse or abuse then the tenant can be charged for the repair.

Yes. The service requirements are that they should first attempt personal service, but if that cannot be completed they can post a copy of the notice on your door and place a second copy in the mail. The philosophy behind this practice, rightly or wrongly, is that you will have someone else attending to your property and your mail when you are away. Service is deemed complete upon the completion of both of those acts, and 'Day One' is the next day. If 'Day Three' falls on a weekend or weekday holiday the expiration is extended to the next business day. Starting September 1st of 2019 days will be counted differently. Weekends and weekday holidays will not be counted at all.

A landlord is not required to accept background and credit checks provided by the applicant. However, if there is any suspicion that they do not uniformly follow this policy and may be asking this of some applicants while accepting reports from others, then it begs the question as to whether there might be a discriminatory motive to their actions.

Both the reason for and duration of the service interruption will be relevant as to whether or not you can seek any form of redress or compensation. If this inquiry involves a property located in Orange County, California, please call 714-569-0823 or 800-698-FAIR after 9 am Monday to speak with a counselor for assistance (closed today). For matters involving certain Orange County cities we may have to refer you to another agency. For matters outside of Orange County we may be able to refer you to local assistance. A counselor can give a better answer once more details are known.

A California landlord can raise a security deposit, within the maximum allowed by law, for a month-to-month tenancy with a properly served written change of terms notice of at least 30 days. For a fixed-term lease the increase could be imposed at renewal, but not during the term of the lease.
