Speaking in Spanish, Angel Gutierrez told KPIX 5 Heritage Realty is also kicking him out this Sunday, even after he told them he’d paid for repairs when they refused.
“My kids [are] sick very often and the answer from them was 60-day notice,” said Delgadillo.
He works as a janitor for the San Francisco Unified School District. Delgadillo says his family not only dealt with rats, But also mold, a refrigerator that was broken for six months and electrical issues.
Delgadillo and his family must move out by the beginning of August.
“His eviction notice simply says you have to be out within 60 days and, you know, it sounds like retaliation,” said Lim.
KPIX 5 called heritage realty for a response and are still waiting to hear back. Lim says there’s an initiative on the November ballot that will allow San Mateo residents to vote to make landlords give a reason when they evict someone.
The families facing eviction told KPIX 5 that — as far as their search for a new home — they can’t find anything affordable.
