What if California motel landlord refuses to sign a W-9 for a rental assistance program for a tenant?

Please be aware that a motel situation is not a landlord/tenant situation. Those who stay in motels and hotels are under a different law in California and basically all 50 states which cover innkeeper rules as opposed to landlord rules. One hallmark rule for innkeepers is that they have the right to instantly evict a tenant: no judicial action is necessary. The landlord for a motel is considered an innkeeper, and the tenant is called a guest. That being said, here is the answer to your question: innkeepers are not required to sign any type of rental assistance agreements. This is because once again, innkeepers are not landlords, and do not have the same requirements that landlords have, such as in most states landlords are required to comply with a tenant's request for him to fill out paperwork for public assistance, and may not discriminate the tenant accordingly.

Can you landlord have you sign a lease and then say you did not get the apartment?
No. A lease is a legally binding contract, which obligates both the landlord and tenant to a tenancy for the term of the lease. If you and the landlord both signed a lease, and the landlord refuses to give you occupancy of the property, you need to see a landlord-tenant attorney or tenant's rights group immediately!

Is the tenant responsible to repair a broken ac unit?
If the air conditioner came with the apartment, then No, the tenant is not responsible. It is up to the Landlord to fix it. I know this because I am a landlord myself. If the Landlord refuses to do so, call a repairman, get it fixed, get a copy of the bill and deduct t from your rent...however make sure you let the landlord know that you will be doing this if he still refuses to fix it and again, make sure you give him a copy of the bill when you pay your rent.

What can you do if your landlord refuses to give you back your security deposit because you lost your receipt?
If your landlord accepted the security deposit from you he must return to you unless he have legal grounds to keep all or part of the security deposit. I don't think that the loss of your receipt for the security deposit is enough to allow your landlord to keep it. Thus you can sue him.
What can a tenant do if the landlord refuses accept the offset of the cost of the repair?
If a landlord refuses to accept the offset of the cost of repair, a tenant can first review the lease agreement to understand their rights and responsibilities. If necessary, they can report the issue to the appropriate housing authority or seek legal advice to understand their options for resolving the dispute and ensuring necessary repairs are made. It may also be helpful to document any communication or evidence related to the repair issue.
I recently found out that by law New York City landlords have to pay heat and hot water for every apartment do they always follow this?
(2009) In NYC, all landlords must provide hot water. In NYC, for buildings in which the landlord must provide heat, if the landlord refuses to provide adequate heat then the tenants must make a complaint to 311 and ultimately to HPD. If the landlord refuses to provide heat the landlord will be forced to do so by HPD if an inspection reveals that the landlord is not complying with the law. This requires much persistence from complaining tenants. HPD can force the landlord's hand by sending in their own plumbers to install a working boiler and to purchase oil for it if the landlrod refuses to comply - then they bill the landlord. If the landlord refuses to pay they can put a lien on the property. In NYC, there are residential buildings in which, tenants have an agreement with the landlord to pay for their own heat. In such case, if the apartment is rent-regulaed under the law then, such tenants receive a discount on their rent. (If the apartment is not rent-regulated, the sky is the limit on rent.) Anyway, landlords do not always comply with the law and many of them deny essential services to tenants. And hence, we have the constant battle between landlords and tenants in NYC. In fact, there are more cases heard in NYC housing court every year than there are criminal cases heard in federal court throughout the entire US every year.
