It was a problem to me in the 70's.
One reason I left SoCal.

As a single Dad i was evicted from my rental despite having paid the rent for the month. The landlord was an illegal Mexican, he had moved the home onto the lot w/o permit, did not supply heat as required by law, on and on....

I cut down three huge cypress trees with my own money just to clear the fireplace chimney from the branches so I could heat the house via wood that winter. I cut an entire yard of full of wood. He saw it and wanted to sell it off. When we refused(he had previously agreed to let us burn it it we cut it down), he filed an eviction and three Sheriffs showed up three days later and threw us out. We didn't even get a court hearing. Later, a neighbor told me he had a quote for one other tree that I did not cut down...$1,5000!.

I'll never forget going down to the Santa Barbara Co. rural legal aid office. Asshole atty from back east giving me stink eye basically told me to take a hike. The audacity of trying to defend myself and my 5 year old daughter from a Mexican illegal's punitive eviction!

I knew then California was headed to the crapper.
