Concerned about Identity Theft

You said they had the right to collectively bargain, they don't. They have no special rights not already granted to individual tenants unlike labor unions which have numerous protections for the membership, allow for the right to strike, allow for the association to represent the individual tenant, etc. Tenant associations don't have these rights to act on behalf of its members with regards to their leases. So, if that's your point, yeah, we agree.

Are you now saying tenants can't utilize a rent strike in California? You might want to check out CC Section 1942.4.

I have since discovered the papers were received. Part of the problem would seem
to be one of communication, i.e English being the second language of the Hotel staff. I want to thank
all of the responses from all the members and the time taken to make those responses ​

It is nice that all has been resolved for you, popeye23, and that your fear of identity theft was not realized.

A misunderstanding when communicating can be a problem and, as your thread illustrates, the problem is not limited to communicating with those who have English as a second language.

COLLECTIVELY ... The association cannot sign contracts on behalf of the tenant, cannot represent them in court or in other legal proceedings, etc. An individual tenant can hold a rent strike, a temper tantrum, or whatever he wishes - and, he can face the consequences.

A labor strike, however, has certain protections for the members enshrined within the law.

Oh, and the section you cited refers to "landlords," "tenants," and "lessee" - not associations.

Once again, a tenant's association confers no additional rights to a tenant or a group of tenants that they would have individually or collectively without the need for an "association" - unlike labor organizations that have additional protections granted them and to their members under the law.
