Upon receiving the last few emails from you, I have decided to consult an attorney about these issues. Having already spoken to some close friends and relatives, who are attorneys, about the legalities of your threats to have the police brought here, and the harassing notes and emails, I am now working with an attorney that specializes in property law, specifically tenant law. Upon disclosing to him all of the information about this, which includes the lease, copies of correspondence between you and I, and the notice that I received yesterday, I have decided how I am going to continue with this. I am going to be quitting my lease effective 15 days from yesterday, when I received the "15 day cure or quit notice". You're completely irrational behavior in this situation has made me decide that, as much as I did not want things to turn out like this, it is for the best on my part to move out as requested. Since your accusations about me violating the lease are either false or unfounded, there is no way possible for me to cure or remedy the problems that you state in the cure or quit notice, leaving me with only one option, which is to move out.
I have lived here since November 2006, and as I stated in a previous email, we spoke about me having visitors when I first came to look at the room/house on 28 October, 2006. You specifically said that it was not an issue with you. In the time that I've lived here, having visitors over has never been brought up as an issue. We both know that I'm not the only one with visitors. Aside from your girlfriend being here 5 or more days and nights a week, Mindows also would often have visitors over. At one point last summer he had 5 people staying over in his room at night. Being that he had these people over repeatedly throughout the summer, often having them sleep over, shower, and cook here, I think it would be safe to say that you had no issue with that either. After reviewing all of this information with an attorney, he has stated that by failing to raise any concern to these repeated actions in the past, that you have effectively waived the right to say that a person staying over or taking a shower here is a violation of the lease.
About the hair in the bathroom issue. My girlfriends hair is not the same color. I'd really like to know how you can be so sure that it wasn't certain people, but supposedly don't know who it was that did it. The way this whole things comes across is that you are repeatedly making things up in an attempt to start issues with either me alone, or all of the tenants.
As for the DVDs, and your attempt to accuse me of having them, I already told you that I don't have any, and you have no reason at all to accuse me of stealing. There have been many people in this house that have been brought in by you and other roommates, and it could have been any one of them. You could have lost them, your girlfriend could have lost them, and even some of Mindow's guests that he had over could have lost them. It's not my issue that you don't keep track of your things, and you have no right or logical reason to accuse me.
There are two other things on your cure or quit notice that state that a disturbance was caused and that a tenant is not to write on anyones automobile. I don't know what you are talking about on either of these issues, and don't feel that I have to even put up with any more of your false accusations at this point.
I want to reiterate with you that I have consulted with multiple attorneys about this matter and that I am working directly with one until this matter is fully over and resolved. I have been fully informed of my rights as a tenant, and will continue to assert those rights as necessary.
I will be contacting you to perform a walk-through of my room as the 15 day period gets closer to an end. I fully expect to receive a prorated amount for the days left in the month that I will not be living here. I have already paid $580, which comes out to $19.33 per day of the month of April. That amount needs to be paid to me on or before the day that I move out, and I will also expect my deposit within a timely manner as stated under CA law.
