SF Superior Court - Real Property / Housing Dept 501 - CUD25679167 - September 3, 2025 Hearing date: September 3, 2025 Case number: CUD25679167 Case title: XIAOLI LIN VS. GUO XIN CHEN ET AL Case Number: | | CUD25679167 | Case Title: | | XIAOLI LIN VS. GUO XIN CHEN ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-09-03 09:30 AM | Calendar Matter: | | DEMURRER to COMPLAINT | Rulings: | | Real Property/Housing Court Law and Motion Calendar for September 3, 2025 line 12.

DEFENDANTS' DEMURRER TO COMPLAINT is OVERRULED, 5 days to answer. The Complaint states a cause of action for unlawful detainer and is not uncertain. The correct address and information for the Rent Board is contained in the Form 1007 attached to the Three-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit as required, and the discrepancy between the two addresses given is not so uncertain that the defendants cannot reasonably respond.

Further, this case is distinguishable from Eshagian v. Cepeda (2025) 112 Cal.App.5th 433, because the Notice is dated the day it was served. As there is no ambiguity between the date shown on the Notice and the date of service, the tenants should have reasonably understood the deadline by which they needed to pay the rent due to avoid forfeiture of the premises. =(501/SKF)
