I owed for Covid, that was supposed to go thru small claims court. They offered to waive the debt if I just surrendered my keys last April *. I didn't. So they served me a *-day notice on May *, *, for $30k. I waited for the UD, that didn't come until Mid- October. It was filed with a different notice that I never saw before, back dated for Sept *. & For $14k, $22k LESS than expected. They removed the time-barred debts from the May notice, proving it was Invalid all along.

This began in March *, and my trial was December *, *. I asked for a continuance, which was not granted & we were forced to try and settle. They again offered to waive the now $40k debt.

There's nothing in the settlement clause that would. Just when I tell lawyer that I signed a stipulation, then they don't care if help me & said I should've called them a long time ago. But nobody helped me when I called for the 9 months I was in limbo. Why was I told settling wouldnt effect that, if now lawyers don't care to help me when i clearly still need it . & Why did the judge lie?

It was not a reduced amount. & That's what I'm afraid the lawyers assume when they hear I settled. But it was for the exact amount in the UD, plus the following months. They did not get a penny less. It was not a "deal". Just a stipulated payment plan.

But does that make a difference? That I did not settle for a reduced amount
Case Rating: *
It could make a difference, as settling for the exact amount rather than a reduced amount might indicate you were fulfilling your obligations without conceding to potentially unfair terms.

Tobener Ravenscroft is a law firm I wanted to represent me. But they have a $10k debt limit. & At the time of the May notice, I legally owed $*-$7k, fitting under their threshold. By the time my landlord stalled in fixing the Invalid notice 6 months later, the debt ballooned into $14k. Too high for Tobener Ravenscroft, but that was a calculated debt they created due to their Intentional delay. Which is just more Retaliation & harassment & I shouldn't be denied legal counsel when I didn't owe that much
Case Rating: *
Hi Sara,
It sounds like your landlord's intentional delay has unfairly increased your debt and added to the harassment. In California, landlords are required to act in good faith and not engage in retaliatory conduct.
Would you like assistance in finding another tenant rights attorney who can represent you despite the increased debt?
Would you like me to summarize your situation accurately for potential lawyers?
