it depends on your county.  A great book would be one of the Nolo Press books on tenant rights.  Nolo Press is based in California and they have several specialized books on California laws geared for individuals who need basic legal information but don't want to hire a lawyer.

technically, landlords have the right to come in to your home/room whenever they please.  I am not sure what you can do.

The laws are different between states. Look up that state's department of consumer affairs. Also NOLO has some good resources. Links below.\n\nYou don't need to consult a lawyer, it will cost you more. In general, figure out what your rights are (specific sections of the state code) and threaten the landlord, citing the code. Inform them in writing that you'll take them to the small claims court if they don't comply. If they doesn't respond (there may be time limits as to how long they can keep your deposit before returning it), be prepared to follow through with your promise.\n\nAlso, next time make sure that you get two little papers before checking in and out -- they should be inspection-like sheets with damages stated on them (and make sure you review them thoroughly and agree). CA requires landlords to provide them in a very timely manner -- usually you get the move-in when you sign the lease, and move-out before you move out, and if the landlord doesn't provide it, the law is on your side. It may be a little different for shorter stays, I don't know for sure, but this paper would save you every time in the eyes of the law.

You have the right to what's called "quiet enjoyment" of the home you've rented, and its up to the landlord to ensure that you get it.  This can be a very difficult situation, in that this can be difficult to prove.  Suggest you talk with a renters rights organization in your area.

It depends on both your rental agreement or lease agreement and the state or country where you are located. There are a few rights and obligations that supercede a rental agreement but the contract is the basic source of those rights for both parties. \n\nFor California (and to a limited extent for other states) I find the best published information at Nolo Press: \nhttp://www.nolo.com/resource.cfm/catID/5944A0DA-71B3-49EA-BF5D300558FB66A9/213/178/\n\nTexas A&M has a good website for Texas: http://recenter.tamu.edu/\n\nOtherwise look for your state department of real estates website and start there. \n\nDisclaimer: I am not a lawyer.

Read the covenants in your hoa documents, that should tell you if they have a right or not.  If it is too technical, consult a real estate attorny, do not rely on advice you get from Y!A.

You want to know what *your* rights are while you're on *my* property??\n\nInteresting question.\n\nYou need to tell people what state you're in, but don't expect any golden eggs here.  If you're on someone else's land, what "extra" rights do you think you're going to have that you wouldn't have anywhere else?

California laws has a separate property law. Since you owned the property before you were married, he can not take it way from you. \n\nhttp://www.nvo.com/beaulier/statebystatedivorcelaws/

Well, I think the question assumes that gays have more/different rights than anyone else in California.  \n\nThe rights of gays are no different (someone please tell me if I'm wrong here) than the rights of straights.  If straights have the right to do/have/want/get/own something, then so do gays.  \n\nAhh...wait...there's the marriage thing.  Gays do not have the "right" to marry in California.  Argh...(remembering college paper on topic...) if we're talking about marriage in the church, then everybody needs to shut up.  The church can make it's own rules and if you don't want to play by them, take your ball and go home.  However, I certainly would agree that the government should afford gays all the exact same rights as straights, as to those matters the government can control.\n\nAm I missing something?  If I am, someone please straighten me out.   \n\nSorry - about the question: I have to believe interested persons can google "gay rights california" and come up with something.

Generally it is completely illegal to do what this landlord did in California.  You may be able to collect up to three times your actual damages or what it cost you to move.

I agree with jl_jack09, different states have different renter's rights.  You can also access this online through your own state government's website.  It would probably be easier to get a librarian to help you find exactly what you need though, there is a lot of legalese to read through.  Basically, you don't have many, BUT you do have some basic fundamental rights.  \n\nRule of thumb when renting:  Do everything that lease says, do everything the rules state and if you get harrassed beyond that, then you have a leg to stand on.

It mostly depends on what the court said (or you set up) at the time of the divorce and the awarding of custody.  It is possible you have no rights at all, right now.  But you can always go to court to modify the existing arrangement, and you should do so to guarantee you have visitation rights if you have no formal, legal agreement.\n\nThe California Supreme Court issued a ruling just recently which made it easier for a court to allow a custoiial parent to move out of state with the child.
