Notice of Violation: Land Use

Opened April 13, 2026 · Updated April 1, 2026

I believe the apartment that I rented in December is an illegal ADU. I did not know this at the time as it seemed a very nice apartment and the owner is in real estate so I had no reason to suspect.

Complaint: Land Use

Complaint: LandLord/Tenant

Opened March 18, 2026

Tenant trying to get out of lease regarding housing concerns (see 000640-26CP) I just moved in. I just got settled. I am legally disabled. I spent thousands and thousands to move, to buy furniture to suit the apartment, to pay helpers for unpacking and putting things together because I cannot. I am terrified she is going to lock me out of the apartment from all my stuff and my two elderly cats now that I have confronted her.I am hoping somehow I am all wrong about this but the landlord'
