Gotta love than theft below $950 is not an arrestable/prosecutable crime in California and you can squat in someones house and claim housing is a human right.

Clift and company screwed people and guy got arrested.

Yes, this is probably worth talking with an eviction attorney.Just because he was arrested does not allow you to cancel his lease, which is effectively what you want to do. 

The sheltering need not be clandestine, and harboring covers aliens arrested outdoors, as well as in a building.

Long story short...the cops were called and the man was arrested.

Protected class,  etc... are not given a pass when their past rental history reveals them as a risk to the new landlord because they didn't pay, destroyed property, evictions, unregistered persons living with them, arrest for criminal activity at their previous residence.

They get divorced they end up in jail they pass away they have to spend all their money bailing out their kid who got arrested they need money for Christmas and or their contractor stole all their money or did a crappy job all of this can lead to deals not performing..

He was arrested, while out on bail, took my carpeting when cleaning out the house.

We held it rent-to-own $28k @ 12% & the couple completely rehabbed it at their expense. 4 years later when they visited Ohio he was arrested for outstanding OH warrants.

This was really bad, because although the Clients wife speaks English, he does not, and he ended up getting arrested at the scene due to the language barrier.
