What is the name of your state? California, Los Angeles County
My mother owns the house and my son and I live in and are renting out two of the bedrooms to a single mother and her teen son - so we are roommates.
A lease was signed indicating the rent and the security deposit requirements ($500 by Aug 25, and the balance before Nov 1). She was informed verbaly numerous times that she would need to leave me the rent payment (check or money order) so that I could deposit them into my mother's account locally. (She lives in WA.)
She sent $300 of the deposit to my mother - which of course arrived late and had to be sent back to me. I told her at that time that she needs to give me the checks so that they can be deposited locally.
On Sunday evening, Aug 29, I asked her which day she would have her rent so that I could plan my trip to the bank accordingly - I deposit my rent at the same time - since it's an account that doesn't use ATM access and i have to go into the branch during business hours. She said it would be on the first.
Yesterday morning she left me a voicemail at work that she would be mailing the rent to my mother since the lease didn't specify a location. We spoke on the phone and I clarified that she needs to leave it at the house for me to deposit. This morning, she left me yet another voicemail that she would be mailing the rent.
There are other issues as well - dog that barks too much, she has furniture in the driveway taking up part of her space and then parks into my space - there are no lines - but it's a wide driveway.
Questions:
1) Can you give a 3-day or 30 day notice since she did not pay the initial portion of the security deposit as agreed to?
2) Is there another way to give her notice? This is just not working.
thanks!!!
