Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Unlawful Detainer
Does a landlord who no longer owns a property have the right to evict a tenant, particularly if the unlawful detainer process begun while the landlord still owned the property originally included a defective notice with the wrong address on all of the paperwork? Do you know of any case histories to help support the tenant's position, specifically in California?

Re: Unlawful Detainer
You could probably try demurring to the complaint based upon lack of capacity to sue. Or, bring a motion for summary judgment, or just defend at trial. Likely, the landlord won't show up anyway.
