Editor’s note (added on Nov. 24, 2021):
This story has been removed after the Santa Clara County District Attorney dismissed charges against a key defendant in March, 2021 due to lack of evidence. The DA declined numerous attempts by the Voice to obtain an explanation for its actions in the case. The court record dismissing the charges states that witnesses in the case refused to cooperate and invoked their 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
In light of the ongoing potential for damage to that person’s reputation, the Voice has elected to remove the story about the now-withdrawn allegations against that individual in all of the stories it published about this case.
Two other defendants took plea deals. Steven Carling pleaded no contest to felony assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury and misdemeanor criminal threats, and was sentenced to 224 days in county jail and three years of probation. Lori Walston pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of being accessory to a crime and was sentenced to 60 days in county jail and three years of probation.
The article title of “scheme” makes this sound like a standard Silicon Valley business practice. The alleged crimes are essentially armed robbery and terrorism of the victim family. I hope they all receive sentences in state prison.
Well, searching on the web reveals that Shakuntla is a different person from this landlord. He is aged 76. She is age 50. I don’t know the birthdate but the web sources give these ages for the respective people. It appears likely she invested funds held in his IRA in one of her ventures and so that IRA Trustee is getting sued along with her as a coinvestor. This is an interesting bowl of spaghetti. Pick any strand and you don’t know what will come out along with it when pulled.
on the next episode of World’s Dumbest Criminals. What a bunch of idiots!
Hey Business Man
WHEN WILL YOU SHUT UP! NO ONE IS BITING ON YOUR AGENDA TO MAKE THIS POLITICAL BUT YOU! (read the comments) THIS IS A CRIMINAL CASE WITH BAD GUYS WHO COULD GIVE A RATS $&@ ABOUT WHAT SOME FORMER OR CURRENT COUNCIL MEMBERS THINK OR DENOUNCE! THE MVPD HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB INVESTING THIS CRIME AND PUTTING THE BAD GUYS IN JAIL! THANKS MVPD! I guess I can drop the all capital letters now (AS IF THEY MAKE ME SPEAK LOUDER BUSINESS MAN!) they don’t, it’s just annoying! You ever heard the phrase “less is more?” Try writing less and drop the agenda. No one is interested or listening.
Read section 1940

The Business Man has ALOT of time on his hand to rant. I’m guessing a retired old foggy who is off his meds. Dude, you come across as a lunatic and have no credibility. But I must admit I’m impressed by your effort in writing long responses.
TBM. please look up in the dictionary what “grace period” means.
Also, please tell me the name of person in the police department who told you that they “KNEW she was not licensed” or you are making this up (spewing lies).
Really? said:
“TBM. please look up in the dictionary what “grace period” means.”
Again, you cannot run a hotel/motel without a license, irregardless of the “grace period” you misapplied. Also:
” Also, please tell me the name of person in the police department who told you that they “KNEW she was not licensed” or you are making this up (spewing lies).”
Again, the police did not assist them in eviction because there was no legal grounds to do so. If she had prepared all of her legally required preparations, they would have been helping her. They have access to all City license records, the fact is they did not find one, thus did not act to evict the tenants.
Instead of dealing with the facts, you revert to the “fake news” claims.
Why not prove me wrong and produce the license?
I would like to chime in and say I will tell the REAL story when the time is right, there are a lot of details being left out and half truths being propagated, and the media love a good story. These occupants of that home paid no deposit and no rent, and have been living free of charge since August. Elizabeth Klimchok and her husband Marc Klimchok are not who you might think they are. Upon checking their backgrounds we see that they have a history of eviction. They were never tenants and I was never their landlord, they are Airbnb guests who paid for a few nights and then never left. The laws around defruading an inn-keeper are not the same as those that apply to landlord tenant relationships.
I have an interest in landlord tenant law . First of all these people were never tenants . They never entered a tenancy agreement . They entered the apartment with a fake / forged receipt for a bank deposit . The tenancy agreement was denied to them because the background check had a history of evictions and it seems that the family were professional squatters who would move from house to house without paying rent until they were evicted . When they were asked to leave the property they refused .
Please remember it is people like this who raise rents for law abiding citizens , as paying tenants have to subsidize , and contribute to housing shortages .
Under innkeepers law an innkeeper has a right to remove a traveller from their premises for not paying rent or for harming their business in any way .
This is not a nice family who have gone through hard times this is a professional and organized fraud .
I am also concerned that the children are being raised to live a life or crime , entering apartments with forged documents and not paying rent .
The police should have arrested these people the day they produced the fake bank slips . This could happen to any one of us .
Anyone who things she is a horrible person and should go to jail really needs to invite these people to come stay in their home . Or better still pay their rent . Rentals have high overheads and both landlords and innkeepers can find themselves facing. Bankruptcy . This is no different from breaking into someone’s house and stealing from a moral standpoint . It seems these people have learnt how to manipulate the law .
It also sounds like the trespassers fabricated the burglary story in order to distract from the fact that they entered the property on forged papers . This could happen to any one of us . She could enter your house tomorrow . Please all of you think before you start throwing stones
She didn’t threaten them , she just sent someone to change the locks to her property which is what anyone would do if they had trespassers
Ok. It is becoming more clear. I see Saine is being sued in San Francisco Superior Court (Case No. CGC18-567682) by Canon Investment Group. LLC represented by a Sonoma attorney named Richard Jay Idell. Saine is the defendant along with her “Reesha Capital. LLC.” Her first name is listed as Shakuntia – not Reenu. Also named as a defendant is a dba used by Saine: “Ira Service Trust.” She had attorneys but the judge granted their motion to withdraw on August 1, 2019. She cannot legally represent her LLC in regular (not small claims) court. So, she will be looking for a new lawyer to defend in the case. I have not yet looked at the filings to see what the civil case is about.
You know what I find fascinating?
THat landlords go after tenants criminal histories and try to avoid renting to those who have them.
BUT NO ONE PROVIDES ANY CRIMINAL HISTORIES ON LANDLORDS.
The Palo Alto Post recently reported this one had a Criminal History.
I have always been curious regarding this because it would appear that this is the only business where those with a Criminal History are allowed to enter the business without scrutiny.
NO OTHER BUSINESS DOES THIS. WHERE THE INFORMATION IS MADE PUBLIC TO MAKE SURE A TENANTS DOES NOT GET INVOLVED WITH A CRIMINAL LANDLORD?
I remember the Palo Alto landlord that had a criminal record. He eventually plead guilty to trying to force out his tenants from rent controlled units.
WHY NOT REQUIRE LANDLORDS TO PROVIDE CRIMINAL HISTORIES TO BE REGISTERS IN A CITY AND MAKE THAT INFORMATION PUBLIC? GIVEN THAT ALL TENANTS ARE REQUIRED IN THE STATE TO CONSENT TO A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK TO START RENTING AN APARTMENT.
SEEMS FAIR DON’T YOU THINK?
Ok. Good. That could be her mother or aunt in San Francisco. Looks like our gal was born August 1, 1969. She has purchased lots of properties in her own name in California and elsewhere.. She should be rich. An unlawful detainer lawsuit would have cost her a few hundred dollars (handled by herself) or another $1,000-$2,000 using a local UD lawyer. That is far less tban the monthly rent for any one of her many dozens of AirBNB rentals (11 listed as available on her “White Linen” website). ..
What people don’t understand.
THese landlords in Mountain View endorse this behavior as long as they do not go on the record condemning it.
WHEN WILL CURT CONROY GO ON THE RECORD TO CONDEMN THE CURRENT CRIMINAL ACTIONS OF THE RECENT LANDLORD?
WHEN WILL JOHN INKS GO ON THE RECORD TO CONDEMN THE CURRENT CRIMINAL ACTIONS OF THE RECENT LANDLORD?
WHEN WILL MEASUREVTOOCOSTLY GO ON THE RECORD TO CONDEMN THE CURRENT CRIMINAL ACTIONS OF THE RECENT LANDLORD?
WHEN WILL JOSHUA HOWARD AND THE CAA GO ON THE RECORD TO CONDEMN THE CURRENT CRIMINAL ACTIONS OF THE RECENT LANDLORD?
WHEN WILL THE MOUNTAIN VIEW RHC GO ON THE RECORD TO CONDEMN THE CURRENT CRIMINAL ACTIONS OF THE RECENT LANDLORD?
WHEN WILL THE MOUNTAIN VIEW CITY COUNCIL GO ON THE RECORD TO CONDEMN THE CURRENT CRIMINAL ACTIONS OF THE RECENT LANDLORD?
WHY WON’T ANYONE ABOVE TALK?
This is NOT rare. Landlords have been doing these things for years.
In response to Reenu Saini I will not repeat what was taken down.
Your actions was designed to poison the jury pool and defame the tenants. No wonder it was taken down.
In response to Alice Palmer you said:
“I have an interest in landlord tenant law . First of all these people were never tenants . They never entered a tenancy agreement . They entered the apartment with a fake / forged receipt for a bank deposit . The tenancy agreement was denied to them because the background check had a history of evictions and it seems that the family were professional squatters who would move from house to house without paying rent until they were evicted . When they were asked to leave the property they refused .”
Even if all of this is true, the violent actions of these people are NOT justified. There was a legal course of action to take and it was not taken. A Financial Dispute can NEVER be settled with violence and you know it. You are trying t say that since the woman was promiscuous, she is expected to get raped. That is not the way the law works. This DEFENSE will not probably even be allowed at trial. You said:
“Please remember it is people like this who raise rents for law abiding citizens , as paying tenants have to subsidize , and contribute to housing shortages .”
UNTIL the courts rule that these people violated the agreement, you have no basis to say this. You said:
“Under innkeepers law an innkeeper has a right to remove a traveller from their premises for not paying rent or for harming their business in any way .”
THIS IS NOT AN INN. THEY HAVE NO LICENSE TO OPERATE A HOTEL. YOU ARE NOT CORRECT. You said:
“This is not a nice family who have gone through hard times this is a professional and organized fraud .”
A quote right out of Donald Trump. And the landlord committing violence is a “nice” person? You said:
“I am also concerned that the children are being raised to live a life or crime , entering apartments with forged documents and not paying rent .”
Again, what EVIDENCE do you have for proof? And there as a legal course of action not taken. This crime will be handled appropriately. You said:
“The police should have arrested these people the day they produced the fake bank slips . This could happen to any one of us .”
Again, if the landlord had done the right thing you could be correct. But it appears that the landlord DID NOT have proof of this otherwise the police would have escorted them out. You said:
“Anyone who things she is a horrible person and should go to jail really needs to invite these people to come stay in their home . Or better still pay their rent . Rentals have high overheads and both landlords and innkeepers can find themselves facing. Bankruptcy . This is no different from breaking into someone’s house and stealing from a moral standpoint . It seems these people have learnt how to manipulate the law .”
At least as far as the law and the courts are concerned, you have no basis to make this claim. MAYBE when a court charges the family and convicts them of that criminal activity can your point be worth listening to. This is just an attempt of character assassination prior to trial. Which in reality is illegal. Your posts can be the basis of court action against you. You said:
“It also sounds like the trespassers fabricated the burglary story in order to distract from the fact that they entered the property on forged papers . This could happen to any one of us . She could enter your house tomorrow . Please all of you think before you start throwing stones”
Again you have no proof, only it “sounds like”. The courts make that decision and the actions taken were not justified. You said:
“She didn’t threaten them , she just sent someone to change the locks to her property which is what anyone would do if they had trespassers”
Then why was one of them armed? Why plan to take cell phones as to prevent them from calling the police? I thought the police were notified and they were all good? And when given advice not to take this action through social media from someone with good knowledge, did she take this action? NO, this was a crime and it was intended to be a violent as possible.
