17 I, Rochelle Zelenka-Diatikar, declare and state as follows:
18
19 1 The statements contained herein are personally known by me to be true and
20 correct, and if called upon as a witness, I could and would competently testify thereto.
21 2. I am employed by the Plaintiff Rocky Top Rentals, LLC., a Limited Liability
22 Company (hereinafter referred to as "Plaintiff"), as a Director Resolution and Recovery. I am the
23 custodian of records for this account, and my current job duties include the supervision and collection
24 of delinquent accounts.
25 3 My job responsibilities as a Director Resolution and Recovery include overseeing
26 delinquent accounts and I maintain responsibility for certain delinquent accounts. In addition, I am the
27 Custodian of Records for Plaintiff for certain files, of which this is one. This is substantiated by the
28 following facts:
1
DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF POSSESSION
(a) During my employment with Plaintiff I have learned the types of Plaintiff's
business records, their nature, purpose, use in the meaning and interpretation of these records.
(b) 1 am now charged with the responsibility for maintaining the books and records
of Plaintiff as they pertain to the account involved in this case. Thus, I have personal knowledge of the
manner and means by which books and records are stored, used and accounted for.
4 All matters pertaining to the accounts are entered into Plaintiff's business records
at or near the time of the occurrence of the event recorded therein, such as the recording of payments
received on contracts. These records are made in the regular course of Plaintiff's business by
designated personnel as part of their official job duties.
10 5 I have personally reviewed the moving party’s records as they relate to the debtor
ll in this matter, and all exhibits attached to this declaration are true and correct copies of moving party’s
12 records as they are kept in the ordinary course of business. Further, all the facts set forth herein are
13 based upon my personal knowledge and review of the company’s records.
14 6 On or about October 6, 2017 Defendant entered into a written Rental Purchase
15 Agreement and Disclosure Statement (hereafter "Rental Agreement") with Plaintiff wherein Defendant
16 received possession of a Portable Storage Building described as a Playhouse 12x28, Inventory Number
17 WPH-L1375-1228-051916 (hereinafter “Storage Building”). A true and correct copy of the Rental
18 Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit "1" and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth.
7
19 Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Rental Agreement, Defendant agreed
20 to rent the Storage Building from Plaintiff on a month to month basis for a total of 36 months. Plaintiff
21 would remain the owner of the Storage Building until paid in full, at which time Defendant would
22 acquire ownership of the Storage Building.
23 8 Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Rental Agreement, Defendant agreed
24 to pay Plaintiff a $357.25 security deposit followed by thirty-six (36) consecutive monthly installment
25 payments in the amount of $357.25 due on the 15" of each month.
26 9 Plaintiff has performed all terms and conditions required of it to be performed
27 under the Rental Agreement. However, from and since May 15, 2019, Defendant failed to make the
28 required monthly installments as they became due pursuant to the terms thereof.
2
DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF POSSESSION
10. Thereafter, Plaintiff demanded that Defendant return the Storage Building to
Plaintiff. However, Defendant refuses to return the Storage Building.
fell Plaintiff is informed and believes that the estimated average fair market value of
the Storage Building in fair condition to be approximately $7,195.00. This value is dependent on the
condition and usage of the Storage Building.
12. As a proximate cause of the default of Defendant in performing under the Rental
Agreement and refusing to return the Storage Building, Plaintiff was entitled to, and did accelerate, the
total due under the Rental Agreement. The amount presently due and owing from said Defendant to
Plaintiff is $6,364.11, plus attorney’s fees and costs.
10 13. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the Storage Building
11 is located at 163 Hurles Circle, Oroville, CA 95966, as this is the where the Storage Building was
12 delivered or Plaintiff's agent has made contact with Defendant at this address.
13
14 I declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the State of California, the foregoing to be
15 true and correct.
