My question involves an eviction in the state of: CALIFORNIA
Hello
I was the tenant at an apartment complex and in June i did have hard time to pay my rent. I got all the notices and i was trying to pay full amount in June.
Then i served by the door ( not face to face ) and i defended myself at the court.
While i was waiting my court date and tried to negoitiate with my landlord's lawyer they got in to my apartment and evicted me.
I had to leave the country for an emergency after 1 day this happened so i could not even go back to court and declare this.
Now i received letter from that lawyer to pay lots of money. ( 9 times more than my actualy rent )
What should i do ?
If i failed to appear that court, can i still sue them because they entered my apartment without court order?
thank you
