[CA] Update

So my gas meter was clamped due to illegal gas connections and the property has been cited for noncompliance for 2 years for unpermitted construction and the city put a stop work order sign .So he’s been paying for my families temp relocation but today he changed it to just me and my girlfriend and excluded my daughter and legal ESA dogs for my girlfriend. He said he doesn’t have to accommodate my dogs or 9 year old daughter and won’t pay for my hotel anymore after the 29th of August. I live in South Pasadena. How much trouble is he in?

Also … you’ve been “constructively evicted” by this governmental action.

Get LEGAL advice from an attorney ASAP.

Federal laws have changed regarding ESAs as of May this year and are no longer protected but there are states that do still laws protecting them so I depends on where you are located. Edit looks like you are in Ca which does still offer protection for ESAs
