Hello ,Mr Walsh thank you very much for your videos.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Christian for very good information. I'm looking for the mediator to negotiate with the landlord at the moment. I just got served with the UD today. so I have until Wednesday to answer. I'm going to use the toolkits you have given. Hopefully I can rectify this issue for the better. Keep it up. You did a great work here. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!
Appreciate all your information. I’ll definitely look into it. Thank you.
Find a local attorney to discuss you specific situation...
Just wanted to take the time to write.. Thank you very mich for your video. I'm going thru it with my roomate that's been trying to kick me out by any means necessary and unlawfully.
This tool is very helpful and I got and email today saying that my court papers have been approved
Thanks for that! Good luck!
Bro thank you alot.. this tool actually works.. I went to court today and they were able to verify all the paper work..
Thank you very much.. I really appreciate it

Hey there Christian!! Thank you for posting this video. Ozzy’s mum is still having trouble with her landlord, they are trying to say that she agreed to the new owners rent increase of 300% back in June. Yeah 300%. Who in their right mind would agree “verbally” to that rate increase! 🤦♀️
She hired a totally useless attorney and she’s not getting anywhere with “Stay Housed LA”. As usual they are always too busy to help. I told that a verbal agreement in CA isn’t won’t work and that the owner had plenty of time and could have gave it to her in writing. She just paid October rent at the beginning of the month and they sent the check back saying that there is an eviction in place, but there is no current eviction!!! Any ideas for help for her? She’s so stressed out!! Cheers Christian!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Paula, sorry she's going through this! The rent increase needed to be in writing with a minimum of a 90 day notice (and it's debatable whether it could be increased that much). Document everything and tell her to keep sending her rent in for the first of the month...if and when she does get an unlawful detainer, then make sure the attorney helps her answer. She can visit here to 👉 iddweb.isd.lacounty.gov/dca_ecomplaint/
OMG.YOU ARE THE BEST....
Wow this is very helpful I can’t believe I’ve had this happen to me & police did nothing see full vid on my page!
Boss u are the best
If there are 2 named in the defendant, do we need to file 2 separate ud-105s?
If they are on the same lease, then probably not, but discus with an attorney.
I notified my landlord I vacated the unit 5 days before they filed the ud and summons. They also attached a pre judgement claim of writ to possession. Today when I went to drop off the keys I saw all these notices and dates I missed.
I had already signed a lease and established utilities weeks before they filed. Since I turned in the keys before the notice to vacate will this still go on my credit as an eviction?
Discuss with an attorney, but it shouldn't.
Any idea how long the eviction process takes since the courts are backed? If a tenant answers to a UD, what’s been usually the time frame from start to lock out?
Tough to tell exactly...worth asking the court if they have an idea. It also depends on the how the tenant responds. Rough estimate would be a month or so before court date, if tenant loses, then maybe another 2 weeks to month for the lockout.
If you’re in LA and file electronically will I still need someone to serve my answer to the attorney or will that be done electronically as well?
The attorney should be notified as well, but you can clarify by reaching out at tenantpower@debtcollective.org
Hi, new sub here. Thanks for this info!
What happens when a landlord has filed an Unlawful Detainer & the tenant asks for a trial, but surrenders the apartment & turns over the keys to the landord before the trial?
Can the landlord still pursue the eviction even though the tenant has left the property?
Thanks for the sub! Once possession is surrendered the eviction case will be over...that's technically what the trial is for: possession of the rental.
Does tenant need to mail Discovery to landlord? What if they miss it? What benifits will tenant loss if they didn’t mail discovery to landlord? Thank yoh.
You need an attorney on your side ASAP!
Question:: In OC and I received a 3 day notice but I have about half of what is back rent…a large chunk to give them….I want to work out a 90 day for the rest….if they deny me and want it all in full, will I be able to go to court to buy myself 60 days at least to find a new dwelling? They want to evict me when I am willing to pay. Court would take them forever to get the back rent back from wage garnishments if that’s what happens. I just paid them $8500 2 months ago I’m back rent and it should show I am not a freeloader and have every intention of meeting my obligation.
Hire an attorney to help (lawhelpca.org). Yes, you'll have time to find a place if the unlawful detainer is filed and you respond....this is not a quick process. You can negotiate with them potentially...BTW, I've seen tenants who have negotiated so that all back debt is forgiven if they are out by a certain date...
Can my landlord give me an 3-day notice to quit without the option to cure
for subleasing if this rental is considered my primary residence?
The short answer is probably not...discuss with an attorney.
I had a process server say under oath that they server me a summons and complaint in march 2022 first then posted a 3-day notice on my door 4 months later in July 2022. Isn't this wrong? Should've the judge dismissed this case instead of letting the plaintiff file paperwork saying they serve me right?
Discuss with an attorney ASAP....the landlord can try to prove that you were properly served.
Did you take the advice or did you go with your gut?
Does LA City qualify to file online since it's in LA County?
Yes, most likely since those cases will be heard in LA County court.
What form do I respond with for a mobile home unlawful detainer? I've been searching ad calling places for a week. No help.
You'll need to discuss with an attorney from lawhelp.org for this.
Hi I had a 60 day notice on January 10th and on March 13 the landlord told us the attorney messed up on the papers and we have till April 1 to move out and he'll lock us out but just yesterday March 20th he gave us an unlawful detainer after telling us we can stay till April 1st I have everything recorded.
Make sure you answer the unlawful detainer and you can out that in the answer....depending on where you are that 60 day notice may have been invalid.
More tools for tenants to take advantage.
Shut up.
I am trying to negotiate the months of April may and June with my landlord. they have filed an eviction and I just answered . I want to know how long the process would take in lacounty?until sheriff comes and evict me?! we have been told the courts are packed!
Yes, courts are busy in LA. Sheriff isn't involved until after the court case...so you have some time, but discuss with an attorney ASAP.
is it illegal to write name of a non paying tenant on social media?
Not sure if it's illegal necessarily, but discuss with an attorney...
Where do you look up if a properties in LA city or LA county
ZIMAS will tell you if it's LA City 👉 zimas.lacity.org/
I do have Zima, but I noticed when you pull up the website the map has different colors is LA City LA county a certain color
If it's blank and white, it's not LA City. Any color is LA City.
Is selling a condominium unit considered "removing from the residential rental market"?
No, but a condo is typically exempt from AB 1482, which means that a reason would not need ot be given in most cases. Watch this video 👉 th-cam.com/video/BQFux6w7-yw/w-d-xo.html
@@nikkijune9377 Interesting...doesn't sound like there is much they can do with it to remove from the market. I'd discuss with an attorney ASAP. What city is this, BTW?

Hi there I am not in the USA and not from a law background but working on something that will draw the interest of tenant and landlord terms in other parts of the world. And would want someone to shed light on many aspects how a tenant can secure himself. Tks
Sounds like a great project...good luck!
@@WIREassociates Thank you so much, it would be not possible without the help of people who have a law background.
any update on what we are supposed to do if rent relief paid only part of our rent owed?
It depends on where you are, Dominick, and which months were paid. Feel free to reach out to discuss 👉 www.wireassociates.com/contact/
@@WIREassociates thank you I replied on your website

@@WIREassociates thank you
Thank you for your time it was great talking to you.. I forgot to ask , I called the 211 number and they were asking all kinds of information.. The phone call got cut off but I wondered, Will they even have any answers for help to pay the back rent or is it a waste of time?
The form I got was UD 105
Reach out to legal aid ASAP
Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful! I have a question, if you can answer, of course. Are we still protected from eviction in LA City for non payment of rent or do we have to pay August's rent?
LA City Eviction Moratorium is still in place.
@@WIREassociates what about LA County
@@WIREassociates Thank you!
@@Samaelmartell Eviction Moratorium is back on, but nonpayment for April, May, June 2022 could still potentially lead to eviction.
I am trying to negotiate the months of April may and June with my landlord. they have filed an eviction and I just answered . I want to know how long the process would take in lacounty?until sheriff comes and evict me?! we have been told the courts are packed!
I have signed lease and being evicted for retaliation and I'm paying on time. Can I seek damages in eviction court?
Potentially, you need to discuss with an attorney ASAP.
Can the landlord evict you for hopping the gate and accidentally knocking the sign off
That does not seem to be a valid reason for eviction (unless you've done this multiple times and have been told not to), but definitely offer to fix the damage.
Need some info,
I received in the mail from clerks office, a letter to inform me of a unlawful detainer, I checked the court and found out my landlord filed a end of 60 day notice I never received in any way, I was not served a summons and complaint can I answer after the 5 day, reason is off the market, to be sold, but this is a 4 unit building. There is more behind all this, other tenants have not received anything.
You'll need to respond to the unlawful detainer and put in there that you never received a notice, plus that's probably not going to be a valid reason depending on the judge. Reach out to an attorney ASAP through lawhelpca.org.
Yes thanks,
60 day notice dates 9/2/2022
and I am not behind in rent she returned my Nov rent on the 7th with apersonal check, which I will not cash is this still a valid complaint.
I live in LA County, 3 detached units on one lot. The landlord lives in one of the units, would the unit I live in be exempt to AB 1482?
If the 3 units have one Assessor Parcel Number (APN), then no it's a triplex and owner-occupied triplexes are not exempt from AB 1482.
@@WIREassociates thank you for your response. My landlord has been harassing my family for the last two years trying to evict us, even with the COVID eviction moratorium in place. Where can I find information on suing for harassment? As well as for an illegal eviction notice?

I got served an eviction summons on November 16th i didn't even see it till last night. Can i still get in trouble even though i never even saw the court paperwork
Yes, you need to discuss with an attorney ASAP!
Okay they are trying to evict me for September but my last payment was in October so wouldn't that stay the clock all over?
I don't have not received a summons .but I received a U.D. I'm trying to respond with the tool kit but it's asking for the summons . How do I get the summons?
Discuss with an attorney ASAP, the Tenant Power Toolkit website can help you find one...it's most likely not a valid unlawful detainer, but you need the attorney's help.
@@WIREassociates would going to the courthouse and asking for a summons be of any help. Would the the court that the unlawful detairner was filed in have a summons for me ??
@@gilbertgee1659 Discuss with an attorney...my nonlegal opinion is I wouldn't try too hard to find it because at this point it doesn't appear to be valid and you can use this for your defense.
No summons no case
What if landlord will not start evictions because he doesn't want me to start court proceedings on my end but keeps changing locks and junping fence
You need to hire an attorney ASAP.
What if you didn’t get the UD-100 form and only received the summons?
Sounds like maybe it was done incorrectly. Use the attorney resource links in this video ASAP.
@@WIREassociates thank you for responding. I spoke to legal aide today and the attorney suggested I complete the filing of my response answer and to also file a dismissal. However when I went to the self help office at the court, the legal aide helping me with the case said the UD-100 was optional and not required. The complaint was typed in the attorney’s form. Thank you.
@@straightfromthecuffwithcan5695 Thank you for sharing that!
You are doing Gods work with this video
Too kind of you! Just passing along a well-designed useful tool!
Doesn’t one need to be served personally before the timeline begins? I mean, it’s not as if I’m evading service but the mailman seems to lose and mix up mail often, smh 🤦♂️ and to top it off I don’t check my mail bc I lost my mailbox key , I know. Also who really knows if they left any paperwork on the door surely someone must have stolen documents as I noticed a small ripped corner left on the door but nothing else. Hmm could it be the summons? I’m not so sure. Why can’t they just personally serve defendants. ? Makes things cut and dry.
If I received the U.D through mail how long do I have to respond to it ...
And can the court still default it in 5 business days??
See #13 here 👉 tenantpowertoolkit.org/faqs.html#question-thirteen
I haven't received a summons can I still complete the power tool kit without it... I did receive a U.D. though
Your videos are great I got an notice went to court got my summons filed at court with legal aid, then was sent ot Basta and being represented by an attorney from them i let you know how it goes
Thanks for watching! Keep us posted...
What happened? I got a 3 day and want to offer a large chunk of the requested amount and start a repayment plan. If it is rejected how long will I be able to drag it out before a sheriff physically evicts me? If I can buy myself 90days I will be fully caught up $7,000
How did it go ?
I need you to save my life
Wat if he didn't serve me no notice to vacate and went strait to unlawful detainer
You would mention that in your answer to the unlawful detainer...
You know I went down to the court and tight as I was talking to the lawyer the owner called I put him on speaker I said why did he lie about I owe 3 months rent wen I'm paid til Oct he said he wants to pay me out to move I said if you woulda handed me a 60 day I woulda done it I go you committed fraud he goes I know but I'll pay you the rent and u can move I go that's fine the lawyer said I jave a solid case and now a recording of hi. Admitting I. Paid up
Can you be evicted for renovations right now in Los Angeles County, California ?
No.
@@WIREassociates Thank you so much for replying! Do you know till when that protection will end here in Los Angeles County?
@@lakerztown6211 At least through the end of the year, unless it gets changed 👉dcba.lacounty.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EM-Phase-Out-Chart_3.31.2022_adopted-motion2.pdf
Tenants should not answer evictions, it will be on their record for the next 7 years, win or lose. They should seek legal assistance and explore filing a Demurrer.
Tenants should always seek legal assistance in situations like this. BTW, an eviction record can be sealed and not show up.
Can a landlord serve me with a 30-day notice to pay $10,400 equal to 3months rent which reason for collecting this is stated as being a “deposit” that was never collected at the beginning of move-in because everything was completely verbal all the way up until literally 2months ago. We are month-to-month and have resided at the property for just under 2years and this is the 1st time anything regarding a deposit has been brought up.
Due to the request of the Rental assistance program wanting supporting documentation of a rental lease he backdated a month-to-month lease dated from the time of move-in going on what is now two years ago.
Can he request this large amount of deposit 3X our rent which is @ $3,400 monthly when never stating or ever any talk of a deposit overall after so long?
We also reside in the jurisdiction of what is considered to be “the City of Los Angeles” as you know currently still holding their own local city ordinance. I’ve kept up with your videos and appreciate all of your helpful information & guidance throughout this process and clearing up so much confusion that you have done great job in making clear to myself & I’m sure so many others! Thank you for all your hard work. I look forward to your response in this matter🙏
The short answer is maybe and you'll need to discuss with an attorney ASAP. As for collecting a 3 month security deposit, this is only allowed if the unit was rented with furnishings, otherwise the max is 2 month's rent. This tactic is a loophole in the eviction moratorium...
I’m aware of the 3 month deposit that can be collected if furnished. My question is more so about the timeframe that we are now in which is 1 year 7months from he time of moving in and never had any lease until recent months for program reasons of rent assistance one was created. However; no deposit has ever been collected or asked whatsoever or even mentioned in the lease that we recently created just months ago nothing was asked and nothing was given. Can he collect a deposit randomly after 1 year & 7months later out of nowhere? For $10,400 knowing we did housing is key he was paid but our situation still faces hardships unfortunately and reside in la city where eviction moratorium has still not lifted and remains in affect as of now. Obviously if we are facing difficulties paying rent how would one effect a $10,400 deposit to be made this long after residing at the property abs being up to date until recent months. Can he kick us out for not following through with paying this large amount even with the la city moratorium still in place?
Thank you, I look forward to your response.
Tenant needed to pay rent no matter what! That’s not their property 😂don’t mess up with them and get the profit
Thanks. I'll use this information to make sure I have everything squared to kick my tenant out. Information goes both ways
Actually, watch this video first to give proper notice to terminate tenancy 👉 th-cam.com/video/1YzMGPeY5tc/w-d-xo.html
You'll find my channel offers info for both sides...
What's next, how to get away with a hit and run, cheat on your spouse without them knowing, or jump in front of slow-moving cars to get a claim???
Most of the people that are getting evicted are people who were rejected from the assistance program because they were working, among similar reasons.
Maybe do a video that gets money from people providing online legal advice, the simple disclaimer that you mention does not hold up well and there are loopholes especially when you say this is the form that must be filled out.... best of all this cant be erased once on the web.
Why should someone else pay for other's choices/responsibilities? Why don't you pay for people that don't day their rent?

Not all evictions are about non-payment of rent, so this is helpful to honest renters
