Exhibit T21 – Email Chain – Lease Extension Confirmation (2023)

This email chain confirms that Anna Ly of Sun Realty, acting as agent for landlord Phat Tran, sent a verified DocuSign message titled “Extension of Lease May 2024.pdf” on February 22, 2023. Tenant Michael Gasio replied the same day confirming receipt and stating: “Thank you. Will look at it with wife this evening.”

The subsequent message dated March 28, 2023, from Michael to Phat Tran continued the renewal conversation and referenced ongoing property maintenance concerns, including sprinkler and pipe repairs. The correspondence establishes that the lease renewal through May 2024 was accepted in good faith by both parties until the landlord later reversed his position.

“Are you still conferrable with our arrangements here?” – Michael Gasio, March 28, 2023

This record contradicts Anna Ly’s later statement to a state housing inspector that she “never sent any such notices to continue the lease.” The DocuSign transmission and confirmation visible in this chain prove otherwise, providing clear evidence that the agent and landlord knowingly concealed the lease extension to advance a fraudulent eviction narrative.

Legal Implications

• Civil Code §1625: A written agreement cannot be contradicted by later oral statements.
• Evidence Code §622: Facts stated in written instruments are conclusively presumed true between parties.
• Business & Professions Code §10176(a), (g): Misrepresentation and concealment by a licensed agent.

This exhibit confirms that the 2024 lease extension was executed, delivered, and acknowledged through DocuSign before any disputes arose. The subsequent denial of the extension by Phat Tran and Anna Ly constitutes fraudulent concealment and contract interference.
