Mayorga v. Mountview Properties CA4/9
Plaintiffs Lester Mayorga, Ledis Medrano, and other tenants living on the property owned by Jose Zepeda, sued defendant Zepeda and his company Mountview Properties Limited Partnership for alleged uninhabitable conditions in their apartments. Months later, plaintiffs served Zepeda with the complaint. By that time, Zepeda, through counsel, had initiated eviction proceedings against tenant Medrano. Zepeda next paid tenant Mayorga relocation costs, and Mayorga moved out of the property. Defendants eventually resolved the rent dispute with Medrano who continued to live in his unit. Although the eviction proceedings were winding down, defendants did not file an answer or other pleading in response to plaintiffs’ complaint for damages and other relief based on uninhabitable living conditions.
