My friends and I are supposed to move into a house in California in two days, and we've had the lease signed for several weeks now. Today, the landlord informed me that she would be canceling our lease because she just today found out that the electric utility company needs to install something on the house, which she said requires permitting and an electrician. She explained that she has no clue how long it'll take, so she's canceling our lease since we can't move into a house with no electricity.

Is there anything we can do here?

I'm a local journalist working on a story about how the Shasta County Jail hasn't allowed visitors since last September due to construction, which is especially concerning considering there have been several deaths at the jail in recent years, a significant portion of them being suicides.

Do you know anyone in the jail who hasn't been able to see a loved one? Are you someone who's been trying to visit your incarcerated loved one but hasn't been able to? Do you know of anyone who might be going through this situation? DM me or comment to chat.
