DA41 — No Property Manager Confession (May 11 Text from Phat Tran)

Summary

On May 11, 2024, Phat Tran sent a direct message to tenant Michael Gasio admitting that he had no property manager under contract at that time. This contradicts all legal actions later attributed to Hanson Le, who issued lease renewals, payment demands, and legal threats despite lacking formal representation authority. This evidence establishes a breach of California Civil Code §2307 (agent authority) and supports allegations of unauthorized rent collection, false court filings, and RICO predicate acts.

    "I don’t have time to take care of my tenant therefore I have to hire a property manager to help me." — Phat Tran, May 11, 2024
