My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
I recently subletted a room from someone renting a house. The person offering the sublet said she had barking dogs but that they would be quiet enough for me to sleep during the day as I work nights. The dogs turned out to be very loud and kept me awake. Had I known, I would not have accepted the rental.
No formal agreement was made. Subletter asked for payment of rent and security deposit when I walked in the door. One week later, I moved out because the noise was too much. Move-in was the 10th of the month and move-out was the 21st. Within a day, I sent her an email asking for my deposit back. I've sent follow-up emails, but have not gotten a response. It has been over a month and she has not responded to my emails.
Can I recover from the subletter? I'd like to get my deposit back and possibly rent paid since I believe she violated the covenant of quiet enjoyment with her barking dogs.
