Your landlord may be in the right if the unit was under rent control, and/or your lease terms allowed for substitution or replacement tenants.  

Do you think that a court is going to look favorably on this landlord substituting his judgement for that of the DA and saying a crime occurred and a reasonable response to this is the removal of the tenant?

The website in question is interesting but there's really no substitute for actual experience. 

I know the difference lol, I was just stating how confusing I sounded because I was unknowingly stating what would substitute for a short sale when it would be handled as a subject to agreement.

There is no substitute for knowing the market.

It can be a real PITA and having to substitute collateral to keep loans open.Good luck if you think it works for ya!

Pay that no mind. they're just giving their opinion which is like one of those things everyone has. it's kind of overbearing to suggest that everyone read and learn from a forum, when not everyone learns the same way but i digress...........what i'd suggest is to see if you can get someone from cody's office on the phone to answer your questions. if you trust it, go for it. just remember to implement fast............with that being said, i don't think there's any substitute for learning from an investor in your local market

Though I am in the phase of reading as much as I can, I realize the fact that no amount of reading can substitute real life field experience.
