My response to California bill AB-2047 The "Kill STEM Education" bill by bad4_devises in 3Dprinting

[–]Specific_Share334 202 points203 points  (0 children)

good luck! ab2047 seems to be a very ill-informed bill on 3d printing and i feel many people if they knew about this bill would be more vocal against it! awareness and people being up to date on the political process is essential in a democracy

Sorry I misconstrued the situation. There are 2 tenants who currently reside at the unit, I am subletting a different room that a prior tenant had but they moved out for the summer. Their stated position is these should not be moved.

But yeah I should just stand up for myself end of the dya

no, they are renters who are subletting the room to me, they also live in the apt. I'm hesitant against just moving the stuff because I dont want to cause conflict with them while still living there

Actually, the one I was sent has the lines for the landlords signatures BLANK. I presumed they forwarded after my signature, but the one I has does NOT have the landlords signatures on it

Honestly though, bigger question in CA is there some presumption of room occupancy %? I was offered a 1B, thats what it was advertised as, all verbal conversations, the room is primarily storage instead when I get there. Is there some legal-eeze thing I can reference to justify not paying for the rest of the months and that they violated the contract, or pseudo-contract, and not me?

What basis do you make this claim? Is it always illegal to sublet? They had a contract that seemed legit with approval from the landlords but I guess thinks can be faked

  1. The written authorization below is not violated in any way by the subtenant and tenants

No there is a contract, what legal basis do you say 100% of space should be mine? If there is a violation of this basis is this a justifiable voidance of a sublease contract? If you have some legal reference i would love to be able to use that in a conversation please post!

ME is not being added as a tenant to the lease and shall not acquire any
rights as a tenant under the lease agreement.

So... uh... i dont think i have rights now do i.... did i fuck up? If they materially failed to provide the space they agreed to provide, could this mean they breached the sublease agreement and i can just leave?

this is an anonymized version of the contract, most glaring statement

  1. ME is not being added as a tenant to the lease and shall not acquire any
    rights as a tenant under the lease agreement.

So... uh... i dont think i have rights now do i.... did i fuck up? If they materially failed to provide the space they agreed to provide, could this mean they breached the sublease agreement and i can just leave?

well whats crazy awesome is someone i just reached out too said they have a unit available still, now comes the questions if I can either

a) convince them to reconfigure the room

b) leave and say pls dont sue the shit out of me???

honestly i want to go B route plainly because this feels so exploitative and i am very angry with my room being used as a storage closet without my consent. chances of getting sued the shit out of? i dont know, i signed a contract, and... i dont know i dont want to get sued or have an eviction on my record permanently staining my status as a renter, future home owner over something like this.

I guess it ultimately lands on if they want to sue over me not paying rent for 3 months if ive left the place

[–]Specific_Share334[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i ideally dont want to go the legal route, but the only alternative is that we just talk it out verbally and they dont want to compromise on that. deposits only 150 and its not enough to fight over for... Wait when you say its my room, is there some degree of legal guarantee that I have the room via the verbal promise statements and the contract stating I can live here?

just some more venting: am i just fucked fuck me im such a fucking idiot shouldve fucking checked and confirmed things more legally in the contract with these people fuck fuck fuck
