月是很容易的事, 一年半载也不罕见。如果房东输了,要赔房客的律师费,但房客输了就可以不必。而且在官司过程中,房客不必付房租。虽然最终还是要付,但钱在房客兜里,他最后可以逃之夭夭。谁也追不回来。不像德州,房客上诉需缴纳现金appeal bond. 用来缴付上诉期的房租。
property, remove doors or windows, or turn off utilities to get you out, in
lieu of court; Civil Code 789.3 prohibits that [for residential tenants] and
makes the landlord liable to you for actual costs plus $100 per day that it
continues, and the police will back you on this one [Penal Code 484].
(2) The landlord CANNOT have the police or Sheriff arrest you for overstaying
your welcome, instead of going to court. The Sheriff may be used to serve
the eviction papers, but anything beyond that awaits the court's determination,
first.
(3) The landlord CANNOT barge in and start doing major construction to make it
impossible to live there, or otherwise interfere with your quiet enjoyment to
force you out; Civil Code 1940.2 prohibits that, and makes the landlord liable
for $2000 for each such attempt, in addition to your actual losses. The police
will back you on this one, too [Penal Code 484].
(4) The landlord CANNOT threaten to report you to immigration authorities or
other law enforcement, nor make any other threat to get you out. Civil Code
1940.2 prohibits that, and makes the landlord liable for $2000 for each such
attempt, in addition to your actual losses. The police will back you on this
one, as well [Penal Code 518].
World Worst Tenants”是讲加州的房东雇佣一种“eviction specialist”驱赶恶房客。很有意思。
