            I have rented my apartment for seven years from my landlord Peter ****. We have a great relationship, I always pay rent on time, and take care of my space. A few years back, Mr. **** hired California Oaks Property Management to manage the property. Garage spaces have always been assigned to residents by Mr. **** based on seniority. No long-term tenants pre-California Oaks have a written agreement regarding their garage space; it was simply given to them by the landlord. Mr. **** gave me my garage space just like he gave every one else theirs. Yesterday I was notified by California Oaks that I am in "violation of my rental agreement" and was ordered to vacate my garage space within the next week or face punitive measures such as eviction. I called the office to clear up the misunderstanding, as Mr. **** had physically stood in the garage as I loaded my possessions into my space at his direction. A fellow long-term tenant, Salvatore Militello, who also does not have a written agreement regarding his garage space, was there too. California Oaks made an arbitrary list of apartment units associated with garage spaces and insists that I vacate my garage space, despite them acknowledging that Mr. **** did confirm that he gave me the space. It feels like insult to injury, as my home in infested with termites with holes in the floor, walls, and door frames. My silverware drawer if full of more termite droppings every few days. There is chipped lead paint everywhere, which was never painted before I moved in, because that was my verbal agreement with the landlord. He would keep my rent low, if I took care of the small stuff. They raise my rent each year, refuse to take care of the termites, and are now evicting me from my garage space. I assume I am not the first to complain, as they have a 2.5 rating on Yelp, and have a reputation for taking advantage of tenants.

            I am searching for an apartment and found a one bedroom, 1 bath apartment for $1,500.00 a month. It had just gotten on the market and there were no photos of the interior yet. I called them and was instructed to go to their website and apply online. I started filling out the application and at the end of the application, they were asking for a $30.00 fee to run a credit report. I called them back and told them I haven't even seen the apartment yet and they said that was the way they conducted business. I did not feel comfortable with that so I asked them if I can at least come see the place before I give them $30. She said they can't do that. I told them again that I haven't even seen the place yet and how could they asked me for $30 when I haven't even seen it yet. She said there will be photos coming but that is what I needed to do. After all that, she came out and then told me there was an accepted application already. I was shocked! I said you mean to tell me you are having me fill out an application and give $30 to run my credit when you knew you already had an accepted application? She said yes. I was appalled!
