5.) If a relative or friend moves in to assist a sick or disabled homeowner, as soon as he/she
dies or relocates to a Skilled Nursing Facility, the park owner notifies the resident he/she
must meet qualification standards to live in the home. Managers then deny approvals.
HART|KING serves a 5-day Notice to Surrender Premises under Civil Code 785.75(c).
Heirs rarely qualify to reside in a park under artificially inflated qualification standards.
Thousands of residents are rendered homeless as wealthy park owners convert their homes
to dealer inventory rented to tenants unprotected by Mobile Home Residency Law because
they are not home owners. These tenants are subject to arbitrary and capricious evictions.

No victim can tell her story without shedding tears as she relives the emotional pain.
Victims realize it is pure evil but they are powerless to challenge the Goliath law firm.
After investigating this racketeering enterprise for 4 years, I finally have direct evidence;
i.e pleadings HART|KING filed in court, under oath, violating Penal Codes 132 and 134.
It is a felony to prepare to offer or offer any altered document as genuine in a proceeding
in court for a deceitful purpose. Here, the purpose is to further a racketeering enterprise.
On May 6, 2013 Appellate Division of San Bernardino Superior Court notified HART|KING
their evictions under Civil Code 798.75(c) against occupants who were not purchasers or
transferees, and who were not in privity of contract with park owners, were unlawful evictions.
HART|KING appealed and lost; yet it continues to steal homes via the same unlawful tactics.

who are not purchasers or transferees and not in privity of contract with park owners.
(Fourth District Court of Appeal Division 2 - Panel Affirmed the Decision on Appeal)
(Supreme Court Denied HART|KING Petition for Review) Affirmed and Final.
After losing their attempt to steal McCarrons home via an illegal eviction against Shipley,
a mysterious fire occurred at the park-controlled electric pedestal supplying power to the home.
Courageous neighbors extinguished the fire with hoses to save McCarrons home from burning.
After McCarron spent $3,000 to repair the damage Stubblefield prosecuted a second illegal
eviction against McCarron---alleging that she violated new Community Rules 2, 5, and 17.

Despite receiving actual knowledge on 5/6/13 from San Bernardino County Appellate Division
the firms evictions using 5-day Notice to Surrender Premises under Civil Code 798.75(c)
of occupants who were not purchasers or transferees, or in privity of contract, were unlawful,
HART|KING continues a racketeering enterprise to enrich park owners and the firm partners.
In opposing defendants motion to quash the unlawful eviction to steal the Trusts mobilehome
Ryan Egan knowingly offered into evidence, Legislative History of Revisions to Civil 798.75(c).
Ryan Egan had fraudulently altered the actual Legislative History [as shown in Exhibit C].
Ryan Egan omitted the pages striking out the words forcible detainer from the final revisions,
which were striken to preclude park owners from using Civil 798.75(c) to evict lawful occupants.
Ryan Egan violated Penal Codes 132 and 134 with specific intent to deceive a judicial officer to
steal the home from owner Schlosser Trust (who was not named or served) after its trustee died.
Title was held in the name of the trust. (see Exh. F below) Ms. Wienzierl had the financial
ability to pay rent and had been paying it all of the time she resided with her mom in the home.
The park manager denied her application for residency using inflated qualification standards
the HART|KING firm advised them to implement as part of a statewide racketeering enterprise.
Exh. F Egans RJN-omitted Pages Striking the Words Forcible Detainer From Final Revisions
to Civil Code 798.75(c) in 1987 as explained by Maury Priest in his affidavit. [see Exh. C]
Maury Priest testified he attended every legislative session in 1987, observed legislators
and heard all comments, including striking the words forcible detainer to preclude park
owners from using 798.75(c) to evict lawful occupants who were not purchasers/transferees
I emailed Ms. Boyle a template of Ms. Shipleys affirmative defenses to formulate affirmative
defenses for Ms. Wienzierl to include in an Answer to HART|KINGs unlawful eviction complaint.
Exh. G
In 2014 Assembly member Mark Stone introduced AB2026 to protect consumers from
artificially inflated qualification standards devised to enable park owners to deny residency.
AB2026 was introduced after consumers discovered that park owners were artificially inflating
qualification standards to obstruct sales and subleasing of mobile homes by private owners.
Park owners could just disapprove all prospective buyers or subtenants to force owners to forfeit
their homes rendered unmarketable--rather than pay $1,100 per month space rent with a vacant
home they could not sublease or sell because park managers rejected all residency applications.
3
Park owners continue to convert filched homes into dealer inventory rented to tenants
unprotected by Mobile Home Residency Law because these tenants are not home owners.
These tenants are subject to arbitrary and capricious evictions at the whims of park owners.
.
HART|KING devised a clever scheme to defeat AB2026 as shown in Exhibit H.
HART|KING circulated a Sample Letter to every park owner on the firms marketing list,
advising all park owners to mail letters to their legislators, including the following pretext:
We have a responsibility for the health, safety and quiet enjoyment
of our whole community and if we are limited in our ability to control
those factors, the quality of mobile home park living will most certainly
be negatively impacted. Please vote no on AB 2026. [see Exhibit H]
The only thing negatively impacted by AB2026 was HART|KINGs racketeering enterprise
to facilitate grand theft of mobile homes via fraudulent evictions using Civil Code 798.75(c).
The Goliath law firm defeated consumer protections in AB2026 to ensure park owners could
continue using artificially inflated qualification standards to obstruct sales and/or subleasing
of privately owned homes by denying residency applications to compel owners to forfeit homes.

Robert Williamson failed to advertise his fraudulent use of Civil 798.75(c) to steal mobile
homes from elderly, disabled, and mentally challenged occupants to enrich wealthy park owners.
Apparently he explains the racketeering enterprise over the phone as he solicits wealthy clients.
Exh. J Williamson advises park owners to limit residency to persons over 55, which is a pretext
used to steal homes from under 55 heirs or occupants by evicting them when a homeowner dies,
after denying residency under inflated qualification standards or because occupant is not yet 55.
HART|KING pounces on the distraught victim, who just lost a loved one, with its clearlyillegal
5-day Notice to Surrender Premises under Civil 798.75(c)---- evicting the victim forthwith.
The emotionally devastated heir, straddled with funeral arrangements, forfeits the mobilehome.
The sheriff locks out the victim-rendering the heir homeless. HART|KING serves the heir with
a default judgment for attorney fees, which is waived if the heir immediately conveys the title.

We realize you are running for Senator. However, if you expect THE PEOPLE to support
your campaign to represent them statewide, you must show THE PEOPLE you are ready and
willing to defend the rights of THE PEOPLE, including those who are disadvantaged because
they are elderly, disabled, and/or mentally challenged. These victims lack the funds to fight
the HART|KING firm who steals their homes at will to enrich themselves and wealthy clients.

Penal Code 132. Offering false evidence
Every person who upon any trial, proceeding, inquiry, or investigation whatever,
authorized or permitted by law, offers in evidence, as genuine or true, any book, paper,
document, record, or other instrument in writing, knowing the same to have been
forged or fraudulently altered or antedated, is guilty of felony. Enacted 1872.
Penal Code 134. Preparing false evidence
Every person guilty of preparing any false or antedated book, paper, record,
instrument in writing, or other matter or thing, with intent to produce it, or allow it to
be produced for any fraudulent or deceitful purpose, as genuine or true, upon any trial,
proceeding, or inquiry whatever, authorized by law, is guilty of felony. Enacted 1872.
Annotations:
This chapter is broad enough to include any interference with the production of true
evidence, whether part of a scheme or plan to obstruct justice designed and begun before
litigation has been instituted or afterward. People v. McAllister (1929) 99 CA.37
This section does not require the finding of a specific intent, as the word "knowingly"
does not impart the idea of intent, but merely refers to a knowledge of the essential
facts which bring the act within the statute. People v. Horowitz (1945) 70 CA 2d 675.
The crime of offering false evidence, described in Pen Code 132, involves moral turpitude.
In re Jones (1971) 5 Cal 3d 390.
The objective of Penal Code 132 (offering false evidence), as with Penal Code 134
(preparing false documentary evidence), is to prevent the fraudulent introduction of
material in a proceeding under the authority of law. Application of the section to inquiry
proceedings is necessitated by the purpose of discouraging the introduction of this material.
People v. Pereira (1989, 3rd Dist) 207 Cal App 3d 1057
Racketeers prey on elderly, disabled and mentally challenged victims as they are easy to defeat.
The attached court filings prove racketeers continue to facilitate grand theft of homes statewide
by wealthy park owners, who pay HART|KING to prosecute fraudulent evictions to steal homes.
We demand that you discharge your duty to prosecute this statewide racketeering enterprise
under Penal Codes 487, 132 and 134.

California Civil Code 3 798.75(b) provides that: "In the event the purchaser fails to

It appears you have moved into the mobilehome at Space 324 in Mountain Shadows
Mobilehome Community (the "Park"), but have failed to sign a rental agreement and
have not applied for tenancy in the Park. The Park is aware that you previously acted
as the caregiver for Joyce A. Dalen, who apparently now resides in a convalescent
home. Since you are no longer acting as a caregiver for the resrdent of Space 124, you
are now an unlawful occupant and must immediately surrender possession and vacate

Because of the high cost of eviction, landlords have a keen inbresf in determining that a
prospective tenant has the financial ability to pay the rent and other charges of the park,
including their mortgage. Leaving this ability only to the bank$ is unfair to a property owner
I
trying to control their property and business,
A5 2026 ties the park management's ability to prevent a potdntlally bad experience for the
management and community residents. Residents in manufaptured housing communities live In
dose quarters and their neighbors can either make or break /heir experience. It is very dlffnxllt
to evict a resident for reasons other than a failure to pay rentjafter they move in.
We have a responsibility for the health, safety and quiet enjobment of our whole community and
if we are limited in our ability to control those factors, the qudity of mobile home park living will
most certainly be negatively impacted.

Existing law auttlorizes the managernent of a mobilehome park to require prior approval of a purchaser of a
mobilehome that will remain in the park. Existing law also prohibits management from withholding approval if
the purchaser has the ability to pay the rent and charges of the park, except as specifled. Existirrg iaw
