This section documents the criminal misconduct during the second year of tenancy at 19235 Brynn Court. Evidence confirms that the landlord and agent Anna Ly issued lease extensions, imposed unauthorized fees, and unilaterally changed payment terms in direct violation of California contract law. These actions were enforced through electronic communications, qualifying under federal statutes for wire fraud and bank fraud.
The tenants reaffirmed that the lease could not be modified without agreement from all parties. Despite this, owner and agent imposed a $500 fine and altered payment timelines.
Tenant email confirms intent to renew at same rate, with no discussion of new terms or fees. Offer was made in good faith, expecting contract continuity.
Agent sends lease renewal via DocuSign under same name used in year one. Tenants later discovered no lease was legally finalized. Despite this, owner imposed fee structures and payment changes.
The lease document image includes metadata proving it was issued from the same email as the original lease and was intended to mislead the tenant into accepting a unilateral modification.
Screenshot from the California Department of Real Estate website confirms that Anna Ly was not legally licensed to operate in Newport Beach. Despite this, she acted as agent, issued contracts, demanded payments, and sent binding communications.
All five exhibits show a pattern of deception by unlicensed agent Anna Ly and landlord Phat Tran. Tenants were financially coerced into paying early, outside the lease terms, and under threat of credit damage or fees. These actions meet the thresholds for fraud, bank fraud, and extortion, and constitute a serious violation of California tenant protection law and federal wire statutes.
