Los Angeles Business Attorney.
As you may know, mechanic's lien law is largely based upon statute and whether a party has complied with the requirements is always part of the analysis when litigating whether a party has properly recorded a mechanic's lien. To understand your rights/options short of contacting an attorney who does that type of work, you might try visiting the California State Contractor's Board where you can find answers to FAQs. Good luck!

The issue is not "what kind of notice" you can issue (your typical Notice to Pay Rent or Quit will likely suffice), the issue is what does the tenant's lease say? In California, a commercial landlord has two options as to how to proceed when a tenant fails to pay rent: (1) they can elect to terminate the lease and retake possession and sue for damages, or (2) they can keep the lease in place and sue the tenant as rent comes due. The two remedies are codified under the Civil Code (...

A quitclaim deed is not going to get you off the loan. (I'm also puzzled as to what the quitclaim deed is supposed to do as that is a transfer of a title interest. Whose transferring their interest, you or your sister?) Anyway, if you haven't notified the lender that you didn't sign the loan, you should consider whether you want to do that (and, depending on when it was signed and when you knew about it, you may run in to some problems with trying to get out of it now). Also realize that...

I think you're saying that you haven't filed your "proof of service" within 60 days which is what you would file with the Court after you properly served the defendant with the summons and complaint. If that is the case, then you will likely expect that the Court will send a notice that it may dismiss the case if the proof of service is not filed by a certain date absent your showing a reason why it shouldn't be dismissed. In Los Angeles, the Superior Court will typically issue what is known...

The answer depends on knowing a few things but particularly: (1) Do you have a month to month tenancy or do you have a lease that has a term on it? (2) Is the apartment in a rent control or rent stabilization zone? If the answer to (1) is you have a term left, then the answer to your question is generally no unless you are in default on your lease and there's grounds for termination and eviction (which your questions suggests you are not). I don't know if Palm Springs (or wherever this...

Technically, he's not your tenant and he's Cindy's guest. Some leases specify the tenant's rights to have overnight guests and they also can specify the number of occupants. So you may have grounds for eviction but given that it's August now, I'm not sure that you can do much about Tony before he plans to leave any way and I'm not sure it would be worth the bother unless he holds over. You need to read Civil Code Section 1950.5 carefully as it specifies your obligations regarding the...

Your question is a little confusing as it is landlord's that file unlawful detainer complaints and it is the landlord that serves and files the Request to Set Case for Trial. Assuming the landlord served that on you, that means the Court will be setting a trial date assuming everything is in order and sending you and the landlord a notice by mail as to when the trial will be set. So what you were told is generally right and you can wait for the Court to let you know when the trial is....

I can tell you that your fighting an uphill battle and that based upon your description, you are likely to be on the wrong side of this dispute. I think you need to have someone look at your CC&Rs and Bylaws, proposed addition, and determine if there's any legal basis for you to fight this. Be prepared, however, that you are likely to have little or no ability to override the HOA's decision as this would appear to be an issue well within its authority and discretion. Good luck!...

The answer depends upon whether your lease is subordinate to the loan the bank had and whether the bank foreclosed on its interest. If the answer to both questions is yes, then you have, at most, a periodic (month to month) tenancy and would be subject to 30 days notice to terminate your tenancy. See, Principal Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Vars, Pave, McCord & Freedman (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 1469, 1478, 77 Cal.Rptr.2d 479, 484 (a tenant who remains in possession after his or her subordinate lease...
