Re: Payback for Slumlords?

Terrible advice. The landlord is obligated to maintain the premises and, at least in most states back East, could not evict you for this. I would expect CA to have at least as good laws for tenants as states over here. Giving up like this without researching local laws is silly.
Get an attorney duder. Unless you're good at poring over housing codes.

Perhaps I worded myself badly. My point was this:
there is a history here already of crap like this happening. Even if he wins, these assholes sound like the type to make his life miserable. Sure, he has some legal actions he can take (seems like the owners have more though) and he may even get ahead. But for how long?
Long run, his best choice is to leave as soon as he can.
Your advice is spot on, as always. I'm just thinking how I'd handle the situation. [censored] em, they can get rent off of someone else.
