My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
I've been renting this condo for almost 5 years, with different roommates. The one I just got was approved by property manager to move in on January 3rd. I've been having tons of problems with him. He's totally insane! I'm scared of him and I have to lock myself in my room because I don't feel save. I know he gave fake references about his past landlord because he knew she was not going to give good references about him. I really want him out of this place. I can't keep living like this.
We have a month-to-month contract and the property manager didn't let me the only tenant so we're both co-tenants but, I'm the one responsible for full rent. I never understood that. I actually never signed that paper. I feel it's unfair for me to leave, when I've been here for so long and he's just been here for a few months. Is there anything I can do to kick him out? Isn't the fact that he gave fake references enough to void that contract and look for another roommate?
Also, if he finally agrees to leave and send notice, can I still send them a note I'm planning on staying?
Thanks!
