Based on document reviewed LPA Farlow was able to corroborate the allegation above. Records review indicated that the Administrator provided an Eviction Notice to R1 on July 14, 2025 and this eviction notice required more information and was less than 30 days which is not in compliance with Title 22, regulations for eviction procedures. The Administrator issued a second eviction notices on July 17, which required a reappraisal and a detailed explanation for the reason for the eviction. Due to the incomplete steps and procedures for the eviction process the eviction is denied.

Based on LPA Farlow interviews, observation, and records review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and therefore the above allegation of eviction procedures were not met is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is SUBSTANTIATED means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 8) is being cited on the attached LIC9099D.

An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC9099, LIC9099C, LIC9099D, and Appeal Rights were discussed and provided to Wellness Coordinator, Lauren Rodriguez.
