Your landlord must give you 30 days' notice of a rent hike if your lease is periodic and month-to-month or less. You're entitled to 30 days' notice if the increase is 10 percent or less and 60 days' notice if it's over 10 percent for other lease types. Your landlord must use the lowest rent you paid over the last 12 months.
California has a relatively short time in which to enforce a valid mechanics lien. In California, it is required that a mechanics lien be enforced within 90 days from the date on which the lien was recorded. If this 90-day period passes without an action being commenced to enforce the lien, the lien expires.
A lien foreclosure action is a lawsuit to foreclose the mechanics lien. The lien claimant must file a lien foreclosure action within 90 days of the date that he or she recorded the mechanics lien. Often a lien claimant with a valid claim will fail to follow through, making the lien invalid. Remind the claimant that if the lien is not removed and you have to get an attorney to remove it, the court can award you the attorney fees deemed reasonable to release the lien. 2  The mechanics lien law changed July 1, 2012, removing the former $2,000 cap.
