My landlord in Los Angeles has given me an order to leave for 'renovations'. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other. I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in California could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect. I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in California would also be appreciated. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

        Thanks for sharing this, José. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

        • Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.

          • Sending love, José. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Take care!

            • Thinking of you, José. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

              • Sending good thoughts, José. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Jessore donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Los Angeles.
