[CA] Is a 30-day move-out notice enough for a longtime tenant in a shared, owner-occupied rental?

My landlord had someone serve me an eviction notice with no date, except the document was created on the 31st. He's accepted my online $500 payment for the month, but he won't take the $500 cash for April. The letter doesn't have a reason, and I've lived here for over two years, and he's giving me 30 days.

[CA] Can a former attorney still enforce a fee lien after withdrawing without cause?

I need help with MFA. My former attorney unilaterally dropped my case. In this termination letter he stated he is asserting a lien of $30,000 for the services he provided. It has been impossible to find a new lawyer because of the lien. I am CERTAIN he is not entitled to any money. I started the MFA process. But the Bar Association says that nothing can be done until the underlying case (which he dropped) is settled. But, it can not be settled because I can't get new counsel until the lien is gone. I need help.

[CA] Can a court deny sanctions when a defendant claims it lost evidence needed for a retaliation claim?

I was in an oral hearing a couple of months ago. I am in an FHA case, and the defendants provided emails, but there was an email where the defendants sent an instant message to each other. In a spoliation hearing I brought it up, and the defendants stated they lost it, and the judge said they lose things. But this instant message hurts me because it is part of my retaliation claim, yet when I filed for sanctions, the judge did not grant it to me.

[CA] Can a tenant claim wrongful eviction after completing a full lease before the unit is sold?

Landlord Tenant question. The attorney must be licensed in San Francisco and understand unique laws. I've already done deep AI research through a paid model. I am now looking specifically for a human attorney to validate my specific case. Details: I rented my condo in SF to a tenant on a fixed lease for 1 year, and told him upfront that I would likely sell in a year. I gave him a couple of months written notice (2 or 3) that I was in fact going to sell my unit. He said okay and he found a new place to rent. All is and was amicable. A few details that may or may not matter. The unit was built in 1988 or 1989. Part of the reason for selling it is because the unit costs me significantly more per month to own, as the rent does not cover the mortgage, HOA, taxes, insurance, etc. There are around 235 units in the building. The rent was pretty close to market rate. Do you have any additional questions to ascertain whether a former tenant would have a case against me. Note there is no indication, but my real estate agent is worried.
