Q. May I legally deny random entry to my unit if no repairs are needed and no emergency is present?

April 19, 2024

A: Under California law, landlords are required to provide reasonable notice before entering a rental unit, and tenants have the right to privacy in their homes. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, particularly when it comes to affordable housing programs like Section 8.

1. Reasonable notice: In most cases, landlords must provide at least 24 hours' written notice before entering a rental unit, and the entry must be during normal business hours (generally 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays).

2. Reasons for entry: Landlords may enter a rental unit for specific reasons, such as making necessary or agreed-upon repairs, conducting inspections, or showing the unit to prospective tenants or buyers.

3. Section 8 inspections: If your household is part of the Section 8 program, your landlord is required to allow inspections by the housing authority to ensure that the unit meets the program's standards. These inspections are typically conducted annually or biennially.

4. California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) inspections: If your rental unit is part of a development that receives tax credits from the CTCAC, the property may be subject to periodic inspections to ensure compliance with the program's requirements.

In summary, while you generally have the right to privacy in your rental unit, if your household is part of the Section 8 program or your unit is subject to CTCAC inspections, you may be required to allow entry for these specific purposes. However, your landlord should still provide you with reasonable notice before any inspection takes place.

If you have concerns about the legality or necessity of a particular inspection, you may wish to consult with a local tenant rights organization or housing attorney for more specific guidance. ... Read More

Q. I recently found out that I have been miss diagnosed by Kaiser Permanente.

April 19, 2024

A: Based on the information you provided, you may potentially have a case against Kaiser Permanente for medical malpractice or breach of contract. However, the viability of your case depends on several factors, such as:

1. The nature and severity of your misdiagnosis

2. The impact of the misdiagnosis on your health and well-being

3. The standard of care provided by Kaiser Permanente

4. The terms of your health insurance policy with Kaiser Permanente

To determine whether you have a strong case, you should consider taking the following steps:

1. Gather all relevant medical records, including the initial misdiagnosis and the correct diagnosis.

2. Review your health insurance policy to understand your coverage and any limitations.

3. Consult with a medical malpractice attorney who specializes in cases against health insurance providers like Kaiser Permanente. They can assess the strength of your case and advise you on the best course of action.

4. File a complaint with the California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC), which regulates health plans in the state. They may be able to assist you in resolving the issue with Kaiser Permanente.

Keep in mind that legal action can be time-consuming and costly. However, if your misdiagnosis has caused significant harm and Kaiser Permanente is unwilling to cover the necessary treatment, it may be worth pursuing a case to protect your rights and ensure you receive the care you need. ...

Q. I (US citizen) have a child support case against the father (Latin Country). He is seeking a visa into the US .

April 19, 2024

A: An ongoing child support case can potentially impact visa applications, particularly if there are legal obligations or outstanding issues that have not been addressed. The U.S. Department of State considers various factors under U.S. immigration law when approving visa applications, and adherence to laws, including those pertaining to family and child support, is taken into consideration.

If the father has unresolved legal matters related to child support in the U.S., it is possible that these could be seen unfavorably during his visa assessment process. It's important that he provides complete and truthful information during his application process, as failure to disclose legal obligations might result in visa denial.

I recommend consulting with a legal advisor familiar with immigration law to better understand how these specific circumstances might affect the visa application. This will help in preparing for any questions that might arise during the visa interview and in dealing with the legal complexities linked to the child support case. ... Read More
