Centinela West LLC, Apartment Building

This landlord said "Don't worry, everything perfect!" Then the lease term started and he hadn't cleaned and repaired, and had lied about other things. He returned my calls after three days and said he would let me out of the lease. It was his idea! He said he would give back my payments if I left and turned in the keys. None of it was in writing but I didn't think he would stiff me. I left and he never returned calls and never returned any of the money. He doesn't use his real name: Farid Yadegar (the elderly man is Noorollah, his dad). The lease has many waivers of your rights. It even has a clause where you sign away your right to sue him but that's just to throw you off - in California you can't waive your right. I won a small part of the cash back in small claims, even thou

Looks like a safe and clean place to live.

Lovely building
