This organization has never helped me even though I have requested help with tenant landlord problems apparently if you're white you can't get help they're racist

I gave tried with a couple of different issues to come to these people for help. Less than worthless advice or any pointers in where I can go to get help. Tried again today, and the lady just gave me a phone number without anything else. "Just call the number." Turns out the number is for the Superior court.

Questions & Answers

Hi.. Me and my family were scammed into moving into a foreclosed condo.. And now that the new owner bought it he wants us out asap.. And we don't have the money to move and can't afford to have a eviction.. What can we do?

You will need to hire an attorney to contend with the eviction process to keep that off yiur record. If you havent yet made contact with GB you should do so asap and they can give you some direction on where to go and how to handle the situatuion. Good luck

I think what you need to do is you need to put your your repairs that you need in writing and make copies of it and submit it to your landlord and if you're dealing with like the Housing authority or anything like that you need to give them copies too but if you're just landlord tenant you need to look up the landlord tenant laws and you know keep keep a record of what you're doing and you can take him to court you just take him to court you can refuse to pay your rent but you have to do it properly or you can get evicted and they have a workshop down at the courthouse downtown in Bakersfield and it is also for Leonard tenant you know it's not just it's not just child custody and everything but they also have it for landlord tenant laws and I do believe it runs like during the week I know so just check the hours down there I think it's at the it's not the it's not the courthouse right there in traction is the one over on l Street I do believe but it's a workshop and and a place where y

It depends on what evidence you have. If you use a recording of the incident in audio or video, be sure to inform the other person or party involved that you are recording them in order for it to be substantial in court

Hello I live in Arizona now but I'm from Bakersfield. I was involved in a car accident in December of last year. I have a police report stating who was deemed at fault. But her insurance is only willing to pay half?

I don't know if they handle accident cases. I went to them for filing an appeal for child support. They told me they don't handle family law. I think their main thing is evictions and fair housing. From reviews they haven't helped anyone much.

Go there they great

so do i have to give a 30 days notice at the first of the month or can i give a 30 anytime during the month

JULIE MIRANDA | Aug 31, 2019
grandmas YouTube kids | Aug 31, 2019

In my experience you can give a 30 day notice anytime as long as you pay for the days you stay. Example....rent is paid from the first to the first but you give a 30 day notice on the 15th. You would have to pay up until the 15th of the following month. So rent for 15 days the following month. Hope it helps....I am Not an attorney.

GBLA doesn't do criminal cases, may I suggest Joe Whittington? He'll definitely work with you if he sees a chance.

Can I get a lawer to help me with this process legal representation without paying a bunch of money and my court fees have been waved

Joyce Haley | Aug 31, 2018
Charles c | Aug 31, 2018

First I need to point out that this doesn't go to the establishment but to local guides on Google. Second its vague what your asking I am not a attorney bit do have some legal knowledge in various different areas. My first question would be what type of representation are you needing. Depending on that they may or may not have someone to represent you. Second intake depends on income most is of no cost to you others pay a small fee. I suggest contacting the office directly between 9-5 and discussing with the clerk

Is my husband entitled to half my ssa backpay in a devorce. In CA

taco_bandit03 | Aug 31, 2018
Charles c | Aug 31, 2018

First of all I want to point out that people don't realize but when you ask questions they don't go to the establishment they come to guides on Google maps. With that being said I am not attorney however I do know quite a bit about family law. California is a shared property state which basically means that you guys share what was obtained during the marriage. Ultimately the person who decides who gets what is usually between both attorneys parties if no attorneys than both parties need to reach a agreement. Which should be notarized and submitted with your paperwork. In the end it's the judge that has the final approval. I don't believe that ssa is considered shared property but I'm not 100 percent sure. If you don't have a attorney i strongly suggest getting to gbla for representation as divorce proceedings can get ugly at times.

Does this 60 day notice fall under" harressment" to a handicap person? What are more options to fight this notice,I have no family locate to assist me and I'm a senior disabled person!

Ray Willis | Aug 31, 2018
Charles c | Aug 31, 2018

First of all i like to point out that when you ask questions it's not to the establishment but to people and local guides as myself. I am not attorney but my knowledge of landlord tenet issues is quite good i have a few questions for you. First is your lease up or do u have time left.? If your lease is up then legally they have to give u 30 days notice. Disability doesnt change fair housing laws regarding landlord tenant do not change based on disability it only makes the landlord have to accommodate and special needs physically or mentally you need to sustain safe housing. There could be a element of discrimination there but without knowing enough information hard to tell i suggest to call gbla and ask for jina kim in the fair housing unit and make a appointment. Hope this was helpful
