ALLA ORLOVA ET AL Case Number: | | CUD26681360 | Case Title: | | MISSION BAY BLOCK 7 HOUSING PARTNERS, LP VS. ALLA ORLOVA ET AL | Court Date: | | 2026-07-09 09:30 AM | Calendar Matter: | | MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT | Rulings: | | Real Property/Housing Court Law and Motion Calendar for July 9, 2026. Line 13.

DEFENDANT ALLA ORLOVA, VOLODYMYR ORLOV MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT is DENIED. Defendants have not shifted their initial burden.

First, Defendants have not shifted their burden of showing they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law under Eshagian v. Cepeda (2025) 112 Cal.App.5th 433. The Three Day Notice to Quit was allegedly served on February 9, 2026, and it is dated February 9, 2026. Based on the face of the Notice, an ordinary tenant would have reasonably understood that the notice period commenced on February 9, 2026.

Second, the Notice states two independent grounds for termination: unauthorized occupancy, and nuisance in the form of harassment. Defendants have not addressed, in either the moving papers or the reply, why Plaintiff cannot prevail in this unlawful detainer based on nuisance, and therefore have not shifted their initial burden of showing that Plaintiff cannot prevail based on the Notice. As this is a motion for summary judgment, it cannot be granted if it does not completely dispose of the action.

Plaintiff's counsel is admonished to comply with all state and local rules in connection with all future filings, including but not limited to rules regarding proper formatting, page limits, and timely provision of courtesy copies.

This matter will be heard in department 505 by the Honorable Michelle Tong at 1:30 p.m. per the order of the presiding judge. =(505/MT)
