Landlord/Tenant Law: Southern California Landlords

Since the beginning of the Pandemic misinformation has plagued the airwaves regarding tenant landlord law. Unfortunately, some of that bad information was circulated by those in the legal field, incorrectly informing landlords they could not proceed with an eviction, increase their rental rates, etc. At the same time we saw a rise in California politicians abusing their power to take away Landlord’s rights.

On Tuesday, November 1st at 11AM I will be interviewing none other than eviction attorney Mike Brennan of the Brennan Law Firm. We look to set the record straight when it comes to Tenant Evictions, Changes to Landlord Law projected for 2023, and the newly enacted Rent Control Ordinances.

Mike has also agreed to answer questions for those who partake in the event…LIVE!

In Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations this is what he had to say about Landlords: "As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce."

Some of these things sound good. But, these sound like tactics that will encourage the state to make more laws. Advice based on hypothetical situations sounds like discrimination, or manipulation at least.

With a month to month lease, how often does a Landlord have to provide a tenant with a new lease?

[flethacker]

To balance this discussion, i recommend any tenant facing eviction to self educate on eviction process/laws. the la law library has excellent resources. in particular look for the 'eviction defense' book and 'tenant-landlord' books. they have various defenses one can use. arm yourself with knowledge prior to any meeting with lawyers so you are on common ground

[Mzakhieh]

Thanks for this informative session !
Can you please elaborate on the "Cap your attorney fees at $500" ?

[ensinitas]

my issue with section 8 is that i ONLY grant month to month tenancies. no exceptions. never. section 8 requires a 6 month minimum. THEIR rules are the deal breaker

[kathleenholt]

What do you mean by ‘without a vote of constituents’? That’s what elections are for.

[hawna]

So, if I forgot to put exempt language in lease and didn't give them language I can still go forward with a 60 day remodel without pulling any permits? Why does the Civil Code say I do have to?

[deannalea]

Are you familiar with "H & S receivership"?

[rayraykit]

Do you have any information on how proposition H for Pasadena works? I called aagla and they need to talk to legal as well. Rent to be rolled back to may 2021? (Is that legal? That’s two years of rental increases!) so are we to refund the difference for Jan 2023? Are we then to provide another 30 day notice for a max of 7.5% increase of may 2021 (75% of cpi and cpi was 10% this year or did they mean 2021 cpi?) for rent that starts March 2023? Does this mean this is the 2023 rental increase and we cannot increase again for the year? How about the 2022 rental increase? Is it gone? This is a logistical nightmare.

Do you need a new rental agreement each year

[Cali_Girl]

If I mailed the Tenant a 30 Day Notice of Rent Increase of 9.9% to be scheduled for March 1, 2023, and the Tenant requests the Rent Increase to be rescheduled for a different date, due to a unexpected financial situation...
If I agree, am I required by California State law to issue ANOTHER 30 Days Notice, and schedule the new Rent Increase for May 1st, 2023...
Or can I simply hand her a new Rental Increase Agreement scheduled for April 1st, 2023?
