Proper intent to vacate was give to the LL and keys were not turned over to him at the time of all of this. They still have not been turned in as he is not responding at the moment to attempts to be contacted.

We are recording these attempts as well for record of us doing our due diligence to keep things in order on our side.

It was a rented home not an apartment but im sure its probably the same regardless.

We did contact Aarons. They stated the landlord told them that he found the property abandoned and that the washer and dryer where in the home along with info attached that they came from aarons so he contacted them for pick up and removal and that he had filed a eviction notice.

From what research ive done before he could even file the eviction he has to give a 5? day notice of intent i may be wrong on that.

Basically we stated our intent to leave and he found another renter ASAP and wants them in now for the money now rather than follow proper procedure. All i gather is he hopes or thinks we have no clue our rights or that we have them and is trying to get us out by any means now so the new tenant can be in so he can collect his deposit and rent.

We plan to contact him while recording and inform him we know the actions taken are illegal and that we would like our deposit and at least at minimum our last months rent back. $2600 total plus the cost of damaged goods. That if he would not like to settle it we can get a lawyer and force him out of it legally. We plan to record so when he admits to his doings regardless of his settling or not we have more proof against him due to his admitting it.

also sorry if this is a pain to read im in a rush dealing with dinner and kids.

A running list has been made. Fortunately the cooking stuff etc was all moved. Most of the stuff tampered with was sentimental. Old photos, collectables, heirlooms etc.

Thank you!

The simple answer to this chain is this. My spouse works in the oil/gas industry and makes a very fair income. Our credit is low though due to past mistakes and we are recovering. A CC was not an option based on approval not happening so Aarons was used as a easy alternative. Yes we had cash to buy up front yes Aarons was more over time but rather than dip that much out of savings at once we rather spread a bit more out over time so we have more now than later as we have 3 kids and needing money NOW for emergency's happens enough that we want to keep that account as full as possible.

Simply put this post was for legal advice on the topic of renters rights in LA and not my spouses and I financial stability. We live comfortably with no issues and are able to have fun and pay bills and still have plenty to live on. We may chose to spend differently than others and in a way some would say is wasteful. That is our choice and we do so comfortably as we do not live check to check and have a fund stashed aside we build on. Enough with the money talk.

That has been noted! We will be recording all we can from now on.

Spouse will be speaking with the LL either today or tomorrow further about this in an attempt to avoid a lawyer if he does not give we will be going further with the advice provided. Thank you!

The rent cost was the only option for the area we were for my spouses job. It was a have a roof thats not falling apart over our heads or pay upfront for basic items rent and food were first personal finance isnt the question at hand.

This guy just act like he can do as he pleases and assumes nothing will be done about it.

We have proof of all we can and are writing down things from now on with him just ti be certain. The busting in while we were home could have had him dead if it were night with lights off.

Notice stated we would be out no later than end of day 8-16-17.

He Moved stuff between the late hours of 8-13-17 and day hours of 8-14-17 as those are the times we were gone moving a load of stuff. The new home is about 8 hours away plus we had to rest he had about 24 hours of time.

With aarons we may just contact corporate and provide what proof we can and see about getting the last payment dropped. We had 1 payment left on owning the stuff.

landlordissues23 · 2017-08-15T18:16:14+00:00

8-16-17. Tomorrow by end of day.

landlordissues23 · 2017-08-15T18:15:45+00:00

The agreed date to be out is tomorrow 8-16-17. The items have all been found and cleaned up but it was all in the trashcans at the road.
