In the 1st paragraph of the notice, it says that it retains to "tenancies that commenced or were renewed on or after January 27, 2023". So what about tenancies before Jan. 27, 2023?
Thank you so much for this ! Clearly put landlord is a slumlord 😢they refuse to post this , refuse to educate the tenants Ofcorse ! I was the one to email my landlord with all these facts including the FMR fact because they tried to threaten and evict me , they also tried to extract $40,000 from me and ignore the huge amount of grant relief they received. Unbelievable 😞
A few questions regarding the Fair Market Rent (FMR) 1.Where do studios fall in the category since it's not mentioned in the FMR chart (for example a 600 sft studio)? 2. Are the FMR $ amounts calculated based only on the number of the bedrooms or/and the size of the apartments too (since there're studios w/ more sqft [and maybe even more expensive] ]than 1 bedrooms and vise versa)? 3. How can we appreciate all your informative videos?
1) You'd use the column labeled "Efficiency" for a studio...it really should have said "studio" instead. 2) Yes, it's purely based on bedroom count 3) Thanks for asking! 😀 A few ways: subscribe here on TH-cam, share the videos with people who need the help, let us know if you or anyone you know is looking to buy or sell real estate (www.wireassociates.com/contact/) and subscribe to my newsletter (www.wireassociates.com/newsletter/)

A tenant that lives in a condo in the City of LA has been claiming non payment of rent due to COVID. At the beginning of March, 2023, the tenant was served a 3 day pay rent or quit for Feb 2023. Then another 3 day pay or quit was given for rent for March 2023. (Tenant provided the COVID declaration weeks AFTER the 7 days required.) When rent was not paid, an Unlawful Detainer was filed. Tenant filed an answer to the Unlawful Detainer, claiming non payment due to COVI & being below the AMI income requirement. Should the landlord be concerned that the tenant may win in fighting the Unlawful Detainer by claiming poverty & the COVID defense? Hope that makes sense. Thanks
Hopefully you have an attorney providing guidance...it could come down to the judge to make the decision, but the fact that the declaration came late, may work against them.
Thank you for another very informative video. It looks like it is now time to sell my lovely little building with all my wonderful tenants. Of course, I will let them know and give the legal notice to enter/inspect etc. Is there anything more?
Make sure you post the notice from this video. I'd also update their rental agreements to the newest version with all the correct disclosures. Don't forget we can list and sell (and get it done the right way) 👉 www.wireassociates.com/contact/
Hi Christian - Thanks for always providing great information. It really is helpful and appreciated! Do you know if there will be more rent relief for tenants any time soon? I thought there was talk that that was going to (possibly) be the case, but haven't heard anything else about tenant rental assistance since the latest eviction moratorium/protection was put into place (back at the end of January).
Your channel is invaluable! My elderly neighbors received end tenancy notice, but they stayed beyond the end date in Jan '23 until current. The landlord put the house on & off the market during that time. The landlord is now asking for back rent to Jan '23 if they want to stay in the house. Do they have to pay back rent or just rent forward?
Thanks for watching! If they are in possession, then technically they owe rent. If that notice was given in LA, then it probably wasn't valid at that time.
@@lrodriguez8037 Good question! I'd recommend reaching out to Legal Aid and telling them that you'd like to pay to hire an attorney and see who they refer 👉 www.lawhelpca.org/topic/housing
As always thank you for your video do you have videos regarding la city inspections the they going to check all units is it true that fines cab be given to tenants and to landlords ?
FYI Folks, I spoke with LAHD about this notice yesterday. I was trying to determine if there was a penalty for NOT posting this notice. Well, LAHD said that they don't have a mechanism to enforce. I suppose you could use it as evidence that your LL doesn't follow the rules, but don't rely on this for anything substantive. I am really wondering why LAHD even exists.
It's an affirmative defense if the landlord didn't post it and tries to evict you...just mention that landlord never posted the notice and the judge should throw the case out. One landlord told me he was threatened with a fine for not having posted it.
Is LA County allowing tenants 12 months to repay past due rent owed between July 2022 and March 2023 due to the Covid-19 tenant protections resolution and also requiring a written 30-day notice prior to landlords filing an eviction for either non payment of rent for either past due or current rent as of April 1st and/or unauthorized occupants and/or pets ?
I discuss this here 👉 th-cam.com/users/liveFt2V7CGgztQ?feature=share&t=258 The 30 day notice for nonpayment of rent isn't for rent going forward beyond 4/1/23, only for pay or quit for rent from before.
Thanks for the awesome content. Do you know if I own one condominium in a 36 unit condo building would be considered a Single Family Dwelling? would that limit relocation fees to one month rent?
I'm really trying to get through this but it literally makes me sick to my stomach what the city is doing to landlord I am looking for a way out it's disgusting and in the end it's going to be awful here even worse than it already is
Does anyone know what happens to someone who has paid their rent on time always. And has a lease is a senior citizen. Suddenly the house is on the market for sale. What happens to the lease and what does the new or old owners compensate the tenant? Please advise. Can new owners raise the rent and disregard what current tenant has been paying? thank you kindly.
The terms of the lease or rental agreement need to be honored by the new owner. If you are month-to-month, then potentially the rent could be increased with proper notice. Is it in LA City? If so, and they terminate your tenancy, then you will be owed relocation assistance.
StayhousedLA does not have any info about potential $ help with back rent for July 22 to March 23 rent amounts. Any information anywhere ? Will Rent relief be reinstated ?
The LA County Board of Supervisors says that they should know about $$$...I'd try calling a few different times. You can also sign up for updates from stayhousedla.org here 👉 www.stayhousedla.org/stayconnected
Hi Christian, thanks for the video again! What if the rental is a single family house, and the tenant haven't been letting us in, do we post the notice at the door? Even if they let us in, do we just post it in their kitchen, since there are no common area in a house? Also, if the tenant speak another language, do we need to provide both in English and another language?
It's a little vague for single family rentals, just says "accessible common area." For a single family rental this would be something like near the front door or near the garage door. I'd have the notice match the language that the lease was signed in.
Thank you for this. We just saw the posting requirement. We were going to email of course . Is the posting in common area- over mailboxes_ meant to be permanent or just a single event ?
The law is ambiguous on it, but this may evolve over time. I'd recommend taking a picture when you do post it and periodically checking to see if it's still there...I've seen common laundry rooms with some pretty old stuff on the walls. 😀 The notice itself will change over time so you may want to check the website occasionally and re-post if it changes.
Thanks for all your hard word!!! I had to sub because nobody else has your content! Question...a tenant in Chatsworth CA has been served an Unlawful Detainer for rent not paid for the months of Feb 2023 & March 2023. The tenant's defense seems to be that he is not able to pay due to COVID, (the Covid Declarations were not received by the landlord until after the 7 days after rent was due.) How will the tenant be able to prove non-payment due to covid? As a landlord, how can it be proved that the tenant is lying? Can we demand bank statements, etc? Thanks
You'll need an attorney to navigate the process...it is very complicated in LA right now. The self-cortication declaration should have been given to you and yes, you can ask for proof. Your attorney will help navigate this.
This is why I call for strong mayor of LA County. I wanna run a strong mayor, Los Angeles county. No lie a lot of the things going on with the real estate and housing market here in Los Angeles county is because of the shysters and the criminals. They’ve caused the worst housing crisis in America use in federal funding using federal funding.
Good grief. Why would anyone want to be in the rental business in LA City? All these regs and 'protections' and punishments for landlords, and payoffs to tenants, it's all insane and drives the cost of rentals through the roof.
I am in DESPERATE need of help. I have called The Housing Authority many times because I am LA City and my landlord has filed an eviction. We have court Monday and my name isn’t on the lease BUT I have been living here with my 6 year old daughter almost 3 years! My sister moved out shortly after moving in and I took over. The manager knew all along and had no problems until I fell on hard times in August of last year. I need someone to help so that me and my daughter aren’t homeless. 🙏🏽 any information will help. I WILL NOT GIVE UP!
i typed a longer message before and it may be under review or too long. but i was saying try la law library. find 'eviction defense manual'. they can scan pages for free and email you. ask judge for continuance so you can get legal representation. i am not a lawyer. God bless and protect you through this stressful time.
Nope, my landlord has not posted this notice. I am not surprised! My landlord got sued for horrible gentrification a few years ago and was injunct to pay $2.5 million! I have the wrost landlord on the planet. I speak to an attorney three times per week thanks to this landlord.
Landlords, have you posted the notice yet? Renters, have you been given a copy?
In the 1st paragraph of the notice, it says that it retains to "tenancies that commenced or were renewed on or after January 27, 2023". So what about tenancies before Jan. 27, 2023?
