DECLARATION OF AARON WILLIAMS
Plaintiff,
vs.
AARON WILLIAMS And DOES I-X,
Defendants.
1, AARON WILLIAMS, declare:
1, I am the named defendant in the above-entitled motion to vacate judgment. I have
personal knowledge of the facts contained in this declaration. If called as witness in this matter I
would and could competently testify as follows:
2. Iam 58 years old. I lived at 1115 Taylor Street #4, San Francisco, CA 94108 for
about 25 and half years.
3. My rent is $1080.00 per month.
4. T have a history of mental health disabilities, specifically depression.
5. I currently work for a temporary security agency, Placement Pros. I have sporadic
employment as a security officer a few days a week.
6. In July 2012, my subtenant and I got into many disagreements, and as a result, my
depression was triggered. I went to San Francisco General and was placed on a 72 hour evaluation
for depression. I then checked into Progression Foundation, a mental illness treatment center, for

approximately 3 weeks. In late August, I lived in Rippon House for 3 months. During the time I was
not living at the premises neither myself nor the subtenant paid rent. I have lived at the subject
premise since 1/1/1991. Mr.-Schulty moved in as my subtenant in 2007. Mr. Schulty pays me half
of the rent.
7. Because the rent was not paid the plaintiff filed an eviction case in 2012. Mr. Schulty
is not a named defendant. In October 2012, I went to a settlement and negotiation hearing with
Hogan & Vest for non-payment of rent. A true and correct copy of this settlement agreement is
attached as Exhibit A. We negotiated that I would be able to return to the subject premises as long
as I paid $200.00 a month in addition to the current rent.
8. On Wednesday May 27, I received a phone call from David Foran of Sacramento
and Foran Law offices, INC to be at SF Superior Court room 501 on Friday May 29. I asked if 1
would be receiving a letter.
9. I received the letter on Saturday. The letter said that the hearing was Monday, May
29, 2015. A true and correct copy of this letter is attached as Exhibit B. This confused me because
May 29 is a Friday, not Monday. I went to room 501 on Friday, May 29 at 11:00 am for the hearing
as indicated by David Foran. I walked into the room and did not see my name on the docket. I asked
the sheriff's deputy if my name was on the docket. The sheriff deputy told me my name was not on
the docket but to check room 402. I checked room 402 and asked the court clerk. No one at the
court could find my name for a hearing on that day. I went to another department after 402 and no
one could find my name for a hearing on that day either. After trying multiple times to locate the
correct room, I decided to leave because I could not find anyone and I figured they got the date
wrong. Also, I only met David Foran once three years ago at the settlement conference, so I tried
looking for him but because I forgot what he looks like, I do not think I saw him.
10. After receiving the judgment against me, I went to the EDC on June 1, 2015, which
referred me to the Homeless Advocacy Project (HAP). On June 8, 2015 I began seeking legal
advice from HAP. HAP then referred me to Holland & Knight, where I am currently receiving pro
bono representation for this matter.

11. The subtenant, Frank Schulty, has $3,497.50 in his bank account for the back rent,
attorney fees, plus the months of May and June. I got this number by calculating the $777.50 that I
still owe in back rent plus $500 in attorney's fees and $60 in cost mentioned in the judgment on
May 29, 2015. A true and correct copy of that judgment is attached as Exhibit ©. The total also
includes the May and June 2015 rental fee.
12. If evicted, I will be homeless. I do not have any place to go because my family
resides in Florida. I will be unable to have a place to eat, keep my things, and live.
13. I can continue to pay my rent every month without any problem.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing
is true and correct and that this declaration was executed on June 15, 2015
