Wow...that is soooooo illegal!!! Revert back to your rental/lease contract. Have you paid the rent on time? Do they have a legitimate reason for attempting to evict you?

Call the rent stabilization department or housing department in your area and make a complaint. They must go through the proper channels to evict a tenant, regardless of the reason.

They have to give you notice to vacate, depending upon the situation, it could be 3 days, 30, 60 or 90 days.

Did they do that?

Good luck!

Hi Leslye,

There are laws that govern tenant and landlord relations. You can see them online at http://:www.dca.ca.gov. Look for Landlord and tenant laws. It pays to know your rights when treated unfairly. Many of our laws protect the tenant in the State of California.

Call the police and report them. What they have done is illegal.
They must first give you notice. Go on line to attached reference

Leslye,

Have you been served a three day notice to pay or quit? Have you been to court with your landlord? Why would he tell you to be out in five days? Have you been served legal papers?

Google landlord tenant law in Los Angeles and consult an attorney.
