Quote from @Jin Zhang: You initiate the process by filing a 3-day Notice.

For Los Angeles County residents affected by the wildfires, this could mean an extension of deadlines for filing returns and paying taxes.

Since I know how to turn a wrench I am going to do almost a full remodel myself with the help of my father.

It helps to know which plumbers or electricians like a remodel project vs a new build project.  

.- Have they filed a police report?

That's it, but a) print out a page for each property you think is comparable, b) make the list of repairs long and inclusive of everything you've done. c) Put larger items first like kitchen remodel......and don't just say 'kitchen remodel', list things like 'custom backsplash tile/Bosch appliances/recessed can lighting/pot filler/etc. d) Cite the price/value of the work done, and don't be afraid to be generous.

I'm not an expert on California law, but I believe you are allowed to give a 60-day notice of termination for a substantial remodel.

It is not legitimate and I do not legally owe this balance, but have been unable to get it removed from my history unless I file suit against the company.

I'm a licensed contractor focused on interior remodels, and a realtor as well, reach out if you have any questionsBest,Ryan

There is no record of them being purchased by RAD among the city’s real estate filings.
