According to the eviction notice, long time Ladera Heights resident Thelma Smith is being forced out of her home so the landlords' daughter can move in instead.

Smith has lived in the home for 30 years, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The woman's situation has garnered the attention of many throughout the country, including Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Thelma has been a dear friend for a long time. Imagine doing this to a 102-year-old woman who gave back to the community her whole life. It is heartless. Thelma, I’ll be reaching out to help. Landlords, you’ll hear from me too. https://t.co/IJQrclGQ6I
