Hotel Eviction Rights California
Summary
In California, staying in a hotel for over 30 days may grant tenant rights. Eviction requires proper notice and court orders. Cutting off utilities is illegal. Continuous occupancy, even with different reservations, can still qualify for tenant rights. Document all interactions and consider contacting local housing authorities or tenant rights organizations for support. If police are involved, explain your situation and show documentation. Consider seeking an emergency court order to restore utilities if they remain off.Full Conversation
I have been at this hotel for over 30 days. I recently ran into some financial issues and my money is delayed. I am 5 days behind on my bill. I have been here but they have different reservation numbers due to having to downgrade to use points and room repairs. Yesterday they cut off the power, today they sent the police. They taped a paper to my door and slide another under my door saying simply Notice To Vacate. There was no name, no dates, no breakdown of balance, and no room number. It said to vacate in number. It also was not signed by anyone only Vallejo Raddissn. It stated that i had * to leave or police will be called and they will force me to leave. They also have refused to provide daily towels, etc
Hi ****! I'm really sorry you're dealing with this situation. In California, if you've been in a hotel for over 30 days, you may have tenant rights.

They now have turned off my power. I have * kids and nowhere else to go. I just recently endured this same treatment at another hotel that was also roach and mildew infested. What is my legal standing? Does this paper hold any legal value? Does the 30 days have to be on one reservation.
Hi ****, your situation sounds really tough. Here's some general information:
- In California, staying in a hotel for more than 30 days may give you tenant rights.
- The notice to vacate must include specific details like dates, your name, and room number.
- Cutting off utilities and locking you out without proper eviction procedures might be illegal.
The 30 days do not necessarily need to be on one reservation if it's continuous occupancy.

Should i stand my ground? Should i seek damages due to the harrassment? Can the manager write a notice without going to court if i have been here over 30 days but kess than one year? Does the power shut off render the notice as invalid

Does it matter having different reservations as long as we still remained here continously
Case Rating: *
Hi ****, having different reservations doesn't matter as long as your stay was continuous. The *-day continuous occupancy rule still applies, which means you may have tenant rights. Would you like more information on how to proceed with asserting your rights?

Subject: Response to Notice to Vacate and Illegal Actions
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to formally respond to the "Notice to Vacate" that was taped to my door on [date] at the Vallejo Radisson. I would like to address the following points:
*. Notice to Vacate:
- The notice lacks essential details such as my name, room number, specific dates, and a breakdown of the balance.
- The notice was not signed by any authorized personnel, rendering it invalid.
*. Tenant Rights:
- I have stayed at this hotel for over 30 days, which may grant me tenant rights under California law (Cal. Civ. Code § *, § *).
- The eviction process must follow legal procedures, including proper notice and court orders.
*. Illegal Actions:
- The hotel has engaged in illegal eviction tactics by cutting off utilities, which is prohibited under California law (Cal. Civ. Code § *.*).
- Threatening to involve the police without following proper eviction procedures is harassment and unacceptable.
Given these points, I demand the immediate restoration of utilities and cessation of any further harassment. I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek damages if this situation is not rectified promptly.
I request a written response within * hours. Failure to comply will result in me seeking assistance from local housing authorities and pursuing legal remedies.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
