Use the search function to search old threads, we’ve probably covered this a few dozen times. I am not brushing you aside, it’s just that you shouldn’t give anyone your address, even in a private message, so you are going to have to do it yourself. The offcial looking mail can be junk mail, if the return address is from the superior court, you may have trouble but don’t guess, go find out.

O.K., I’ll do it. If it’s riverside county, you can get it all online, for S.D. i think you need to visit the county recorders office (one downtown and one in San marcos, I think). Get the assessors parcel number (apn), figure out how your landlord is holding title (not everyone uses their name, some have it in a family trust) then have them search that parcel for liens and notices (notice of default and notice of trustee sale are what you are looking for. Also check him and (not or) whatever other name is on there or family trust. Avoid the subscription sites, you only need one bit of info, it’s not that hard, actually it’s kinda fun.

Good advice.

Go down to the Recorder’s office. There’s a branch in San Marcos, Kearny Mesa and Downtown.

The landlord may own other properties in which case there’s a good possibility that he’s gotten NODs on at least one property.

If the landlord has no notice of default on your rental, then he may simply beginning to be late on his mortgage payments. At this stage, there’s no way to find out if he’s stopped paying his mortgage payments from public records. You’d have to call the mortgage company. Don’t impersonate the landlord, but express directly to them your concerns. There may be an assignment of rent clause in the loan that allows the bank to collect rent directly from the renter.

If there’s a default, I wouldn’t pay a penny to anyone. I would wait for the court to adjudicate the case. There will eventually be a foreclosure and you’ll be asked to move. The bank maybe even pay you cash for keys.

If the landlord tries to evict you, he has to initiate something called unlawful detainer. He need resources and wherewithal to do that. If he’s not returning your calls, perhaps, he’s already walked, moved out of state or whatever.

Others will talk about honor, keeping your word, and that kind of crap… but in the end it’s about protecting your own interests. If I were you, I’d play hardball.

A contract is made to be broken and renegotiated. We all know that.

I cannot comment on what you should do, but if you want to post or message the address I can look to see if it is in default.
