My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting on this site and I hope I am posting in the right place. I will narrate everything that has happened from the beginning so that you will be able to provide a better answer. I would like to state that I am living in off-campus housing, which is co-managed by the school.
On November 1st, 2014, I woke up to the fire alarm around 4:30 a.m. My roommates and I quickly evacuated our room and exited the building to find several other students also waiting outside. The fire truck came and the firemen inspected the building and around 5:30 we were allowed to go to our respective floors in the building. A fireman approached my roommates and me and told us that our room was inhabitable. It turns out someone had a barbecue in the middle of the night on the roof and had an accident. He tried to put out the fire with water but was unsuccessful. Apparently, that water leaked into our room and when we walked into our room with the firemen, we saw two holes in our ceiling and water was dripping through.
At 9 am, we approached the apartment staff and they told us that they would find a place for us to stay soon. Around noon, they said they were moving us into a hotel at their expense until November 11th. They were hoping that our room would be renovated by then. We've been living in this hotel since then, and luckily, it's close to campus.
Today, they sent each of us a message stating that they will allow us to use our apartment room as a place to keep things until November 17th. However, they also mentioned that we would only be able to stay in the hotel until November 11th and that we would need to find a place to stay after that. From our lease, they are citing the line, "In the event of damage to or destruction of the Premises, Unit or the building of which the Premises are a part by fire, flood, earthquake, or any other cause or causes, Landlord shall have the option to: b. Terminate this Lease and all further obligations hereunder of either party by written notice to Tenant(s);"
My roommates and I are upset and frustrated because as students, we have mid terms and other things to worry about, in addition to finding a place to stay in just 4 days. In their email, the apartment staff told me that their two representatives will help us find a place to stay. But still, I just want to know if this is legal. Can a landlord ask their tenant to find another place to stay as they please? We weren't responsible for the fire, so they provided us with accommodation at a hotel. But I personally feel that 4 days is not enough time.
Thank you for reading through this; I will be more than happy to answer any questions. I appreciate your advice and suggestions!
