oldkimmer , yes this has been a year of bad stuff happening , and just the other day my sister landlord , told the wife she was doubling our rent for next month and tripling it on jan 2025 . well i'm looking in to had as well . she never wrote it up and gave us it in writting , and i have a signed contact with her at the current rent . so i'm thinking it's just smoke unit she does a letter than 30 days to reply . and there is a rent control on three or more units on a single property here in santa clara county . and both my wife and i are seniors , not sure she can ?
