This text message from Anna Ly of Sun Realty, the landlord’s daughter and initial leasing agent, confirms that the landlord received the full balance of rent for the first 2022 contract. The message states:
“The landlord has received the remaining balance. I left 2 garage openers and the key to the mailbox on the kitchen counter. The access code to the front door is 6502*...”
The communication verifies payment completion and transfer of property access at the start of tenancy. No walkthrough inspection or move-out billing occurred at the end of this contract, contrary to California Civil Code §§1950.5(f)–(g). This absence of closure documentation and accounting establishes a procedural breach by Sun Realty and landlord Phat Tran. The text further connects Sun Realty’s involvement to the origin of the leasing relationship before management shifted to Hanson Le and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
