Calling all researches and legal knowers.
So I mentioned I live in a kind of crack-den-ish sort of place. It's become a sudden probability that I may get kicked out.
Recently, the many roommates here have come together and realized the woman who manages this place is a problem. We believe that she's skimming rent and now attempting to collect more money for excess power and water use. None of us have contracts or a lease (we all pay cash, no check accepted), and we've never spoken to the person who owns this house. Stories indicate that she likes to kick people out when they start figuring things out or making waves.
Our biggest fear is that next month her son gets out of jail and will begin living here. Where he was arrested and used drugs and had parties.
Our current plan of action (subject to better suggestions) is to track down the owner of this house and contact him directly. We need to find out what the rent really should be, as well as the truth about the power and water bill.
If you know anything about the legalities of this (California) or you can help research, please email me: grayson (period) queen gmail. I can provide an address and a few names to look up, including the woman who is managing this place (though she we believe she is illegal). She's on the verge of trying to get more money from us, so there is a little rush.
Thank you for your help.
