Attorneys for 97-year-old Peninsula woman file lawsuit to prevent eviction

A 97-year-old cancer patient is being forced out of her home of 66 years so her new landlord can cash in on the northern California real estate boom.

Hatch has nothing in writing, saying the promise was just verbal. The promise was honored by Kroeze's daughter and granddaughter.

At that point, in 2006, the property was taken over by David Kantz, the husband of another of Kruse's granddaughters.

The owner said through his attorney that he knew of no agreement that would allow Hatch to continue living in the cottage at her current $900-a-month rent.

Kantz and his attorney Michael Liberty said the property must be sold this year under the terms of a trust established in the will of Kantz's late wife, from whom he received the property. "I feel bad for the elderly lady, I feel bad for my sons, I feel bad for me". "I really don't. Keeps me awake at night", Hatch said.

Arsenal legend backs Gunners to beat Man United despite Champions League loss
Their bid to turn the stuff of schoolboy fiction into reality continues at home to struggling Norwich on Saturday. Arsenal is a candidate for the title here and we have to win every game too, that pressure is always there".

And that's why she now finds herself on the verge of eviction. The home's value on Zillow is now estimated at $1.2million or $3,200 in monthly rent.

"We have come to this unexpected confluence of events, and I am responsible to do the best I can for the beneficiaries - my sons, " he said.

Rothrock said she is working with the Burlingame Advocates for Renter Protections to get the attention of U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and hopefully develop policies granting consideration by landlords for evicted tenants.

While searching for a new place to live, she stumbled into the cafe where Hatch worked, and after a brief discussion, the two agreed to be roommates.

"I don't have the slightest idea where I'm going to go", Hatch told local broadcaster KGO on Monday in an interview.

Earnings Per Share for Kraft Heinz Co (KHC) Expected to Increase
The company reported $0.62 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping analysts' consensus estimates of $0.58 by $0.04. On average, equities research analysts expect that Kraft Heinz will post $3.24 earnings per share for the current year.

Hatch's friends have started a GoFundMe account in support of her, and had raised $23,000 for her by February 23.

When she moved in, her landlady and friend made her a promise that she could stay as long as she lives. "People think they can't enforce an oral agreement, but they're wrong".

Krieger said Hatch could end up homeless if the eviction goes through.

The Chronicle reported that Joe Cotchett - "a high-profile civil attorney who represented victims in the Bernard Madoff scandal" - has taken on Hatch's case pro bono.

One of Cotchett's partners, Nancy Fineman, who has been in touch with Hatch, told the Chronicle that she believes the crisis can be resolved under wrongful eviction law. That verbal contract is enforceable, the lawyers argue.
