    Angry Landlord Wont Fix Broken Heater For Over 6 Months And Wants To Evict Me!!

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: California

    My heater broke around October of 2007...I had a certified heater repairman come to the house; verify the problem, he called the landlord and explained it HAD TO BE REPLACED, told the landlord he could do the job within 3 days, and even signed a statement to the fact which was sent to the landlord.

    I told the landlord if he bought the heater; I would install it (I am a carpenter) so he could catch a break on install cost...he said that would be great! To this day...he has NOT done a thing about even so much as buying a new one or even GIVING ME A SPACE HEATER!!!

    I live at Lake Tahoe...it has been extremely cold since October (thank god summer is around the corner)!!!

    Now the landlord is trying to evict me!! He gave a notice with absolutely NO REASON for eviction!! Now, I am NOT in a month-to-month lease!! I signed a BRAND NEW YEAR LEASE about 3 months ago!! How can he evict me with NO REASON while I am in a year lease?

    Is it a coincidence that he just put the apartment up on the market for sale at the same time he sent the eviction notice? I have NOWHERE to move to, money is extremely scarce, work is practically impossible to find, and I am freezing my behind off!!!

    What do I DO????? By the way...I HAVE been paying full rent this ENTIRE time the heater is completely out of work!!

    An eviction is through courts and genreally is due to lack of rental payments or similar. I am guessing this was a "notice to vacate". You have lease its binding even to new owner. You might talk to your Landlord about a buyout for you to leave. In meantime this site should provide you valuable information on how to deal with this
