Clarification of California’s Moratorium
COVID TenantHey, I’m just so confused about where we stand as landlords. I watched what seems like the worst video I’ve ever seen today: he seemed super excited that he got a tenant to live in a house rent free for 4.5 years.
Anyways - we gave them a 60 day notice so we could start an assisted living community back in February. They’ve ruined our home so we need to renovate for the business.
They did not move out, offered to pay rent one month after they were supposed to be gone, but that was the beginning of COVID so we didn’t know what to do. Didn’t take it.
Then they offered to buy our house from us?
No communication after.
I guess my question is:
1. Is the lease and it’s terms still in effect or can they start doing whatever they want?
2.My parents are the names on the utilities. Do they have to keep that up?
3.Are we responsible for basic repairs now that they’re squatting and avoiding us at all costs if they decide it’s too cold this winter?
4. I’m not certain I understand the 25% rent thing. Do we send them a notice every month or wait until January 31?
Cash for keys was a no go.
thanks for any information who might understand this better than me!
I can’t figure out how to move this video. Sorry! But that’s the one about tenant rights and never paying their landlord ever.
