Help me find the contact information for my landlord in Sunnyvale, Ca
Three months ago I moved out of a house in Sunnyvale, CA. The landlord has still not returned my deposit. I would like to take him to court but have no idea how to contact him. The problem is, all money and paperwork was done through a woman who had lived in the house for years. She no longer returns my calls or my letters. I would like to take legal action but need to know the landlords contact information first. Is there a way I can find the owner of a parcel similar to this AskMe thread?

Response by poster: I used the website tkolar reccommended, but the only contact info I have is for a PO Box for a city I know he doesnt live in (its a CA city and he lives somewhere in the South). Any other advice, or is this the best I can get from government documents?

If he's your landlord, isn't his name on your lease? I'm not sure what "all money and paperwork was done through a woman who had lived in the house for years" means - did you sublet? If so, wouldn't she have your security deposit?

Response by poster: His name is indeed on the lease, but no address or telephone number. Money and paperwork went through another tenant. IE, I would make a check out to the landlord for rent, as would all the other tenants. She would then mail him an envelope of all our checks.

Call the attorney general's office for that area and see how to proceed then.

If that tenant was the landlord's agent in the house, can't you take HER to court?

Response by poster: Antifuse, I do not know, but I am very interested in whether or not I can. I would like to take them to court, as they are the ones stiffing me.
