This Zillow advertisement was authored and posted by Anna Ly of Sun Realty, the landlord’s daughter and initial leasing agent for Phat Tran. The listing materially misrepresented the property by claiming an “Ocean View,” “New Paint,” and “In-Unit Washer and Dryer,” none of which were present at move-in. These statements were relied upon by Michael and Yulia Gasio in their decision to lease the home.
The advertisement constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation under California Civil Code §1710(1) and supports claims of fraudulent inducement and failure to disclose material facts. The false “Ocean View” claim and omitted defect disclosures mirror a pattern of deceptive marketing already evidenced in Exhibits T12 through T16.
