What better way to spend taxpayer money. Probably spend $80k in lawyers fees per tenant, rather than just pay the past due rent and maybe a year in advance.
It sure makes you want to take matters into your own hands. Taxpayers money shouldn't go to this ridiculous law. The landlords pay taxes too. Sick
I hope you take matters into your own hands with the wrong person.
They are not preventing homelessness. If you don't pay rent , just get out. You are not entitled to anything.
Nah. Quit jacking up the price. People deserve to keep the financial slumlords houses
@@elpanchosancho2 There already is rent control on most housing in CA, especially in LA county. And the price? Are you kidding me? These freeloaders aren't paying one penny. That's the point! And they want the taxpayers to pay 5 million per month for this crap.
California Dreaming, is now the California Nightmare 😢
They do this in NYC, L&T is a shit show in NYC.
And then people are complaining that landlords are not doing repairs now. The state better not complain when the landlord stops paying any and all property taxes and bills. What's the state going to do. Take the building. The state has no money.
Eminent domain!!!
State funded, county funded, or government funded?
I thought it had been reported/stated that California was broke?
It is broke. But the morons who run the state just keep doubling (or more) down anyway!
As a Life-long L.A County resident its obvious why the quality of life and the County is going down the crapper tax payer revenues going to deadbeat renters.
No wonder the rent is so high in. Los Angeles!
I have a renter who paid $0.00. I saw 3 Xmas go by. He's.... They're finally out.Feb, I enter my ct papers for a Dec date(10 mo) judge cancel to April(14 mo) 1 month waiting ... 3 no for sherriff papers. I went to ct to find my sherriff papers lost. I had to redo sherriff papers. 21 mo... Def quit his job. The Justice system message to LL holding legal rental contracts bet adults .... Cts and renters are BULLIES. Cts favor renters. This gv my def FREE rental Free ESQ FREE job time and FREE escape time it's why LL are quitting
too many abbreviations
You are spot on, Chief. It’s sad.
San Diego does it too.
It's all about the Attorney/Advocate Eviction cash cow, cottage industry.
The Rental business is a Sucker's Bet now.
L.A county assumes that landlords are too rich for the same support.
Legal aid has always provided free lawyers, it is just that they would not waste time and money on clear cut cases where the tenant failed to pay rent.
In LA that's about the only way to get rid of a tenant! And it take many months and can cost thousands!
Free? Hah, not free. "Taxpayer funded" is the correct term. I know that's not you saying "free", Tony. But sadly it's how people will think of it.
Anyway, it will just make landlords far less likely to take marginal tenants. Anyone who might not pay (bad credit, bad LL references, low income) will be rejected, because no landlord will want to pay to fight the inevitable non-payers. This will increase the homeless population, the precise opposite of the intended effects.
CA landlords are gluttons for punishment. I would never invest there. Banks should stop lending there, due to the increased risks of non-payment.
do you think they are doing this on purpose because they do understand consequences of violating rights and justice, so that private landlords will dissappear and corporations can come in buy it up cheap and get laws rescinded that protect tenants? you know problem reaction solution (or problem bad effects solution?
@@rosesmith6208 I think they're too stupid to understand unintended consequences
@@rosesmith6208 I want to sell to a huge corporation just for this reason!
Look up sang Kim in Bellevue Washington he has been evicted four times. The city of Seattle paid his $86,000 in back rent so he can live in a 2 million house rent-free along with his legal fees. While the landlord has to pay all the legal fees of his on his own
How much would it cost to put him in jail for a year or so?
@@iccsmmc I googled it and it said between 40 and 60 Grand. And the landlord wouldn't have to go to court factoring in costs and lawyer fees is probably over 100,000 this guy's cost to State
I'm so curious to see how it pans out in the next 5 years.
This already happens in Westchester county in New York. All tenants are given free counsel and translators.
I grew up in White Plains
Translators I could see
Tax money we all pay for it
This is great news. For attorneys. Since most rental agreements make tenants responsible for costs of evictions, having an attorney that will at best, prolong the hearing or process will just mean that the landlord's attorney will just make more. Also, the tenant attorneys will get a regular source of income. I hope this idea rolls out nationwide as it could be a great source of income for those in the legal profession.
Of course, it will just drive up the cost of renting for everyone else, including those on fixed budges that pay on time. But that's a small price to pay for ensuring attorneys make more.
As well as the huge costs of a jury trial demanded by the "tenant's" free attorney.
What is amazing is that the only reports you see in the news regarding the markets are those with financial conflicts of interest. Meaning you are getting what the private sector pays to present, not the real data. Which is why many landlords get surprised when things do not go the way they were promised.
Are the landlords going to be made to do repairs? Los Angeles has soooo many buildings that are in need of repairs. But I hope that they put a time restraint on how long these lawyers can drag out these cases. There are soooo many laws in California already that “protect tenant rights,! Let’s STOP all these “Non Effective” so called remedies, a make Landlord repair their properties and make tenants pay their rent!!!
It doesn’t take a Rocket scientist to see that there is a feasible resolve to this problem!
Smh
In Los Angeles, the tenants love to complain to LAHD ( Los Angeles Housing Authority), and the LADBS (Los Angeles Department of Building and safety) about any repair usually caused by the tenant's ignorance or outright vandalism!
What is it going to take. Does there have to be a class action lawsuit to end over taxation so that there is no money for these insane programs. Crazy that there is no money to repair sidewalks and streets or remove graffiti but there is money to give to dead beats who breech their rental contracts. Enough is enough.
What grounds is there a case? There is nothing unconstitutional, the lawyers enforce public policies. Under the constitution, the tenants are required to have due process and the lawyers are assurance of it.
No taxation without representation
@@georgewagner7787You are represented, the legislators were elected.
AAGLA, AOA USA, Howard Jarvis Group, are litigating all the time on behalf of the honest hard working landlords but it takes big bucks to go against the politicians who can use our tax money against us!!!!
@@iccsmmc again due process is required, and if an attorney is necessary to assure due process, so be it. You are not being denied due process.
Sue the county for misappropriation of tax payer funds. Its bullshit that they take homeowners taxes and then use those taxes to screw the owner.
AAGLA, AOA USA, Howard Jarvis group are litigating all the time but it takes big bucks to go against the politicians who, like you say, use our tax money against us!!!
In the city of Los Angeles, they do provide lawyers for low income landlords. I wonder if the LA County system does the same?
Wow can you provide the contact information for "free" legal. My lawyer charges $890. per Unlawful Detainer!!!!
@@iccsmmc Los Angeles County is the program that provides for low income, property owners filing eviction
When is Holly Mitchell going to start allowing the homeless to stay in her house (or even her yard)?
What they dont mention is how many of the city council are renters. Yah just take a look.
Probably only the new ones. Afterall, why do most aspiring autocrats want to hold political office!
FREE lawyers for tenants has been in place for the last 30 + years.
There is legal aid but they don’t take many cases.
Not on this scale, silly. This is a whole new ball game!
How many of these freeloaders even pay income tax that will help pay for this? I suspect very few!
There is a sound in your video. Maybe your microphone is right next to an HVAC register blowing air?
Nani Nani boo boo.
Lol just another way for them to pit landlords against tenants. Another distraction from the horrible shit they do daily
How else would career autocrats keep getting elected by their tenant base?!?!?
Wear a different tshirt on that sofa.
This is the kind of news most landlords work to avoid spreading, here is one instance however $1.5B San Francisco loan heads to servicing; Maximus Real Estate Partners owns Parkmerced, a 3,221-unit housing complex in San Francisco." Published April 30, 2024
The 152-acre, 3,200-unit multifamily complex known as Parkmerced was recently appraised at $1.4 billion, about $400 million less than the amount owed and down $700 million from 2019, the servicer said.
That kind of loss forces lenders to shut the loans down
Maximus Defaults on $1.8B Loan for Parkmerced in San Francisco
Maximus Real Estate Partners defaults on a $1.8B in loans for Parkmerced, San Francisco’s largest apartment community.
I love that LA County is doing this. Great work. Fuck the landlords.
Yes, how dare they provide housing to people...
It's a competition between LA City and LA County who can chase small honest, dedicated family housing providers away from California the fastest, leaving the huge Wall Street Syndicates who really don't give a damn about tenants!!!!!!!
this is a rerun. You talked about it more than 4 times
Tony could be on vacation.
He's back. 😂

4 days ago it was approved. So it is a done deal.
Landlords can still get out of being lanclords. I know if this law comes to where I live I will not let anybody live in my rentals.
@@johnniebeavers4003 Your choice. But you still need to operate your business, right?
@@stevengoldstein114 Yes it would be my choice. Why would I want to house people for free? I wouldn't let somebody stay in my rentals for free people need to pay their rent or buy their own house. It seems to me people that don't have a house of their own and has to rent and has to depend on a landlord for a place to live think they should not get evicted for non payment of rent. Not everybody thinks that way but it seems a lot of people think a landlords owes them a place to live. Well its not a landlords place to house people for free.
@@johnniebeavers4003 But in CA in 1995 the LANDLORDS promised affordable housing to pass the Costa Hawkins and Ellis Acts. They made a false promise to avoid market regulations. So yes the DID take that responsibility. The same went for the Reagan Admin, privatizing public housing. The same FALSE promise. And so now the population growth is nearly zero and the housing shortages were designed to force prices up. When the population starts dropping, and it will, the market will implode
I can't afford to House people for free i barely earned 30,000 when i was working and now I'm retired my first tenant got behind on the rent and finally i told her if she didn't catch up i was gonna have to sell so now she's catching up she's good people but i can't support other adults i have a lot of medical bills
