1088 – Post-Eviction Remodel & Airbnb Listing – Evidence of Profit Motive and Fraud
These images show the post-eviction condition of 19235 Brynn Ct., Huntington Beach.
The property was remodeled and immediately listed on Airbnb under host name “Vui,”
with new vinyl plank flooring, freshly painted baseboards, and complete furniture staging.
Key Observations
The flooring matches materials billed by Ly Construction for $7,837 (Exhibit 1087), confirming remodel, not repair.
Photographs show uniform vinyl flooring throughout the lower and upper levels—no carpet replaced, contradicting “dog pee” claim.
Baseboards and stair trim freshly painted, demonstrating capital improvement for short-term rental conversion.
Airbnb listing advertises “3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2,000 sqft home,” priced at $7,786/month—a 55% increase over original rent.
Fraud and Profit Motive
Work billed as tenant “damage repair” (Exhibit 1084 & 1087) was actually preparation for commercial Airbnb use.
Owner Phat Tran financially benefited from eviction and remodel, violating California Civil Code §1942.5(a) (retaliation and unlawful enrichment).
Invoices and court documents misrepresented remodel costs to offset deposits and fabricate damages.
Pattern satisfies predicate acts under 18 U.S.C. §1341 (mail fraud) and §1343 (wire fraud).
Supporting Exhibits
1084 – Move-Out Clearance Report: Owner lists false $7,835 carpet charge used to offset security deposit.
1087 – Ly Construction Invoice: Confirms full vinyl remodel billed to owner after eviction.
T10 – Pet Addendum: Authorizes dogs, negating “damage” claim basis.
Conclusion
This exhibit demonstrates that “repairs” cited in court were capital renovations for profit.
Following eviction, the home was converted into a commercial Airbnb rental, revealing clear financial incentive behind the fraudulent 3-day notice, forged lease, and falsified damages.
