Breach of contract is what the apartment complex Sweetwater properties Cameron holding LLC has violated also the requirements under the whole program and not having their books up-to-date with payments from volunteers of America as well as money laundering tax withholding

I am not going to address anything except the appeal process. This is not a contract issue or transactional so I cannot comment further. Evictions are heard in small claims in front of a magistrate. They are heavily weighted in the favor of renters. Some counties such as Orange employ free attorneys devoted to deferring and defending evictions. An appeal from a small claims decision has specific time requirements and is to District court. Some District courts require arbitration for some matters. The Clerk of Court in the relevant county can advise on days left to appeal and whether there is an alternative dispute process required in this situation. If there is, the evidence requirements are not formal. A lay person can represent themselves.

Residential Listing Agreement
California
Can a real estate agent terminate a residential listing agreement before the expiration date?
I recently entered into a residential listing agreement with a real estate agent to sell my property. However, I have become dissatisfied with the agent's lack of effort and poor communication. I have read through the listing agreement and cannot find any specific provisions regarding termination by either party before the agreed-upon expiration date. I want to know if the real estate agent has the authority to terminate the listing agreement before the expiration date, and if so, what are the potential consequences or obligations for both parties in such a situation?
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I’m one of the lawyers on this site. Generally, no, a real estate agent cannot unilaterally terminate a listing agreement before the expiration date unless the agreement specifically says that this is okay. The trouble is that you can’t outright cancel the agreement, either. With that said, if they are failing to act in good faith or perform substantially, its grounds to send them a notice that they have to either perform or else you may suspend your performance of the agreement or even sue for damages. Almost always, if they want to back out, and you should offer them a chance to do so. Get any mutual agreements for rescission in writing. If you need assistance with a review, please post a job, and we’ll be happy to help.

Agreement To Lease
North Carolina
What are lease agreement laws for Greenville, NC.
I broke my lease and I was paying my rent until a new tenant was found. A new tenant was found and I was told to turn in the keys because they were moving in and so I didn't have to pay rent no more. I was told that the new tenant doesn't want to stay and I have to start back paying rent. Do I have to start back paying rent?
Holly T.
You must read your lease. Cross reference any lease breaking terms with anything the LL agreed to in writing. Depending on how much was left on your lease, also pull out the requirements for you to terminate the lease via notice near the end. If the new tenant was approved by them and signed a new lease you should be released. However if they merely allowed a new tenant subject to your lease or you sublet without permission, you may still be liable. You'd need to consult with an attorney to be sure but I'd sugggest asking the LL to explain how you're still liable to save time and money. They should be able to cite the agreement requiring you to continue payment.

Cancellation Of Lease
California
Can I cancel my lease agreement due to unforeseen circumstances?
I recently signed a lease agreement for an apartment, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have lost my job and am now facing financial difficulties. I am struggling to pay rent and I am wondering if I have any legal grounds to cancel the lease agreement due to these unforeseen circumstances. I would like to know what options are available to me and if there are any potential consequences or penalties for breaking the lease.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. So the downside here is that you're still bound to the lease. You're bound from the moment that you agree to rent the premises. This means that unless the landlord lets you out of it, you can't get out of it. There is a silver lining: 1. You could see if you can find a subtenant to rent it from you; 2. You can try to find someone to take over the lease agreement for you with the landlord's consent; 3. You could offer a settlement to the landlord, such as 1.5x the regular rent. 4. If you can't do either of those, then there is still some hope. Under the law, when a tenant breaks their lease there is an initial obligation or debt that is owed by the tenant to the landlord for any unpaid rent for the remainder of the lease. However, before the owner may make a claim for such damages, s/he has a duty to mitigate (lessen) damages by making a good faith effort to re-rent the unit as soon as possible to try to cover any potential loss resulting from the lease-breaking. In other words, before a landlord can recover in court for the remainder of the lease, the landlord must make all reasonable efforts to find a new tenant to replace the old one. Best of luck to you!
