[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@@WIREassociates Hi there! Thanks for making this video! :) I have a few questions for you, if you don’t mind and have a moment to spare? I would be ever so grateful! I live in Southern California and I just got a notice from my landlord to raise my rent by 28%! They want to raise it by $455 more a month! I did _NOT_ receive any exemption notice for the tenant protection act of 2019. I spoke with a neighbor that has the same floor plan as me, and she even has air conditioning, whereas I don’t, and she only got a 10% raise. The difference between us is that I am renting there with a section 8 voucher, and I know for a fact that the management company that took over a few years ago in 2016 absolutely hates section 8, as they initially tried to evict me _ONLY_ because of me being on that program (I was only allowed to stay because I was resourceful enough to be able to track down the phone number of the owner himself and begged him to stay - he allowed me to stay, but the management company was so vindictive that they raised my rent by hundreds of dollars and I had to then beg them to not raise it so severely because the government wasn’t going to cover such a high rent amount - that owner is now dead and nobody has contact information or even knows the name of who owns the apartment complex now). Are people who are in the section 8 program exempt from the tenant protection act of 2019? I read something about affordable housing places/owners that have contracts with the government are exempt - but there’s nobody else in our 40 unit apartment complex that has section 8 besides myself… It is _NOT_ an affordable housing complex. Rent at our complex is WAY more expensive than the places that are considered affordable housing. Along with the notice to raise my rent, they included documentation from the city about the fact that there is a tenant/owner mediation organization available for me to contact if I have any issues, and when reading it, it almost seems like the city council voted to not implement/enforce the tenant protection act 2019 regarding rent increases, and made an ordinance about that fact, saying that they will simply provide a mediation process instead… Can they actually legally do that? Just ignore such a law? Isn’t that law supposed to apply to every county in the state, unless they have their own rent control law going on? Also, last question: If I learned that they are indeed breaking the law by wanting to raise my rent by 28%, how would I go about figuring out what the correct max rent raise percentage amount is that is legally allowed, because that requires knowing what the city CPI/cost-of-living percentage increase is (5% + cost of living/CPI)? Does the law say that they want the percentage CPI increase for the previous 12 months? Or the amount of months since the last rent increase (my last rent raise went into effect on January of this year, 2022, and they gave me this notice on November 2nd, but the rent raise won’t go into effect until February 1, 2023). The law refers to the CPI percentage figure being your “regional“ figure, so I don’t even know if they mean city or county or state or what. When I called city hall, they had no idea what our city or county CPI percentage figure is or where to find it. Many thanks in advance if you can help me at all on this matter. I hope you will be able to answer back soon, because they didn’t even give me much time at all to respond to them about this (even though it doesn’t go into effect until February 1, they said I have seven days from the date of the notice to respond if I have any issues, and of course they wrote a date on the letter that was four days before they actually clipped it to my door, and 5 days before I got it in the mail lol). It’s beyond stressful, because I am pretty confident that the government will not cover such an enormous rent amount. So I wouldn’t be able to afford living here anymore because the portion I pay would go up so much, and I am already struggling so much that I had to turn off my landline and Internet. : / Hope you are doing well!

Landlord raised rent by more than 10%. She gave me a 30 day noticed, and I pointed out that it had to be a 90 day noticed. She corrected it appropriately but increased it by $50 more on top of the $150, originally rent increased. I questioned the legality of that, and now she has expressed that if I don't pay the $200 she won't accept my rent. I live in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles. Can you provide any info on this matter.

Great info

[@nancymackell641]

Thank you, there is so much misinformation out there on the internet, one of them being, that a condo or SFR is only exempt if is owner occupied. Some sites say the same as you, but others do not. It was getting confusing. I own 2 rentals neither is owner occupied, and Solely owned by my husband and I. Was thrilled to find out that we are exempt AND had no tenants or renewals since 2019/Jan 2020. We also haven't raised their rent or asked them to leave, but gosh, I like knowing that can do either and not have to comply with AB1482

[@WIREassociates]

As long as you give them the exemption language, you're good to go! (And as long as there isn't a local rent control or just cause eviction ordinance).

[@dorothy2063]

Excellent information ✨

[@WIREassociates]

Glad it was helpful! 😀👍

[@car4dan]

This is good information. I have a single family residence rented so it’s exempt from the AB 1482 right. I gave a notice to move to my tenants which they totally ignored and just gave me this AB1482 papers where they said they didn’t have to move and I had to pay them relocation $$$$$. Which now I know it doesn’t apply to my case . They haven’t kept up with the house as specified in the contract.

[@WIREassociates]

The AB 1482 exemption only applies to exempt properties IF the exemption notice is given, i.e. you needed to give them the AB 1482 paperwork saying that the property is exempt. But, if you're going to evict for them violating terms of the lease, then AB 1482 doesn't matter because this is an "at fault" reason to evict.

[@car4dan]

@@WIREassociates Thanks

[@boxer7710]

So a new landlord on a 4 unit can just say we remodeling or family is moving in to kick you out?????

[@WIREassociates]

It's a little more complicated than that, but maybe.

[@OliviaHSanchez]

I beileve o read in the law that depending on the number of units on the property. So, if there are four units or more, the landlord must ask the most recent tenant to move. No matter what size the unit may. (Similar to "last one hired, first one fired.)

[@WIREassociates]

That's not in AB 1482, but there is something similar in LA County's owner move in ordinance 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKamopqYjbmWgaM

Hi there as always thank you for your very informative videos. Question how to be prepared for la city inspection when they saying all units will be inspected . Also as a on site property manager what are considered emergencies that I need to attend to when out my office hours.

[@WIREassociates]

Thanks for watching! As for the LA City inspection, I'd make sure the renters have been been given proper written notice. As for emergencies, health and safety items would certainly qualify.

Thanks for the information. So 2019 we moved in one of our church member single family.I believe this single family home is in a trust and once her daughter use to live in this home. So 6months ago the daughter of the church member took over interms of dealing with any repairs and sending the rent checks to her instead going through the mother. We have no lease and haven’t had one since we moved in and in October of this year she wants to raise the rent to market value we pay 1400 now market value could be 2.5x what we are paying now. What do should we do

[@WIREassociates]

If you were not given a Tenant Protection Act exemption notice, then this is probably not a valid increase...discuss with an attorney ASAP.

[@hb9651]

Incredibly helpful video, thank you! If I missed the deadline for a long-term tenant, can i simply use the new lease with the exemption clause when I renew their lease again? Or is the exemption lost entirely...

[@WIREassociates]

Thanks for watching! Yes, that should be fine since you haven't given any other renewals.

[@hannaranbaek]

@@WIREassociates Oh no. I renewed their lease the end of 2021-before knowing about this requirement. That means there has been a renewal after the deadline... is the exemption considered lost forever?

[@WIREassociates]

@@hannaranbaek Potentially the exemption is lost with these tenants, but still give the form and discuss with an attorney.

[@dianecelento4974]

Oh ok a 90 day notice. I thought it was 60 day notice. Either way I won't be doing it but it's good to know.

[@WIREassociates]

Thanks Diane! Another one that a lot of landlords didn't hear....started just before COVID.

[@reeny4043]

Thank you for all the info. I've read through the entire act several times but cannot find an answer to whether or not a tenant has to be month-to-month before giving a no-fault just cause termination. I will be taking over a property with a tenant on an auto yearly renewal tenancy (that has been in effect since 2015). Can I give a no-fault just cause notice if they're not month-to-month?

[@WIREassociates]

Discuss with an attorney before taking over the property. The lease should have a provision for terminating the tenancy.

[@vanessababy242]

Hi Christian. Just found your channel and love how informative and helpful you are. You've helped me understand a lot of confusing info! I have a situation I am hoping you can help with. My parents own a duplex in Riverside county. They live in 1 unit and tenants occupy the other unit. My parents moved in in March of this year and the tenants have been living in the other unit for about 4 years. Would my parents still be exempt from AB 1482 even though they just moved in this year? The property is in my parents name, not under a corp. We are hoping to raise the rent from $1600/mo to $2000/mo but aren't completely sure if we are exempt. Any help would be appreciated.

[@WIREassociates]

Hi Vanessa, thanks for watching! You'll need to run that one by an attorney (these ones can give guidance on this as well 👉 www.wireassociates.com/eviction-attorney/). It's unlikely it applies in this case because your parents were not owner occupants at the beginning of the tenancy. Here's what the law says, a duplex is exempt "...in which the owner occupied one of the units as the owner’s principal place of residence at the beginning of the tenancy, so long as the owner continues in occupancy."

[@Boomtrack13]

Hey Christian, thanks for making this video. So if my house is less than 15 years old and not an LLC or a corporation etc. I am automatically exempt and I don’t need to provide a notice?

[@WIREassociates]

Good question! There's at least one attorney I know who says that if a property is less than 15 years old, then the exemption form isn't required. I'd still give the notice of exemption as there is no downside.

[@ding5821]

Hi Christian, thanks for making this informative video. I have a question about this law. Me and my girlfriend just start looking for homes to live in and find a potential duplex. The owner/fmaily trust occopied on unit but just passed away. And there is tenant occupied another unit which is under rent control. Am i able to buy this house and raise the rent or evict the existing tenant? Thanks!

[@WIREassociates]

It will depend on where the property is located, for example, if in LA, then no you can't get the other tenant out (easily). Other areas, you could terminate the tenancy to do a major remodel.

[@mustafaosman48]

Great video. I'm confused if I have a SFR, and convert the garage into an ADU, but not live in either. Would that make me fall under the AB1482? Thanks

[@WIREassociates]

Yes, most likely. Not for the new ADU because it's less than 15 years old, but for the main structure. Discuss with an attorney.

[@janeorcutt]

You said that single family homes, condos, and owner occupied duplex, as well as properties 15 years old or newer, are exempt…but then you state “A summary of properties subject would be any residential non owner occupied duplex or bigger in the state of California”, which doesn’t make mention of a property’s age?

[@WIREassociates]

That's correct, the age still matters. TBH, the vast majority of rental housing stock in California is over 15 years old.

[@vincecorea]

Thank you! My question is, with this in place, how much can they increase your security deposit when you’ve been living in the apartment for over 8 years and have already paid what was asked, which was solely one months worth, when you moved in?

[@WIREassociates]

Maximum security deposit is two times monthly rent for an unfurnished unit in California. They could increase it to that.

[@nicoleyoung3927]

So you have recommended some website to me which I have done and also called many attorneys, which will not give advice without acquisition or consultation fee… My main question is in El Dorado County, it looks like a relocation fee is owed if you request a tenant who has been there for many years to move due to a family member moving in or remodeling which is the two reasons I received. Do you happen to have a computer where you can check relocation fees per county? I tried to look up El Dorado and pulled a site but the site also quotes Sonoma County

[@WIREassociates]

I don't have a website for EL Dorado relocation fees. If there isn't a local regulation requiring higher fees, then it defaults to one month's rent.

[@Lidu12004]

If I understand this correctly regarding a single-family residence that is exempt from rent control I heard you say that the landlord can raise the rent above 10% that there is no cap. Did I understand that correctly? So my landlord can raise my rent in San Bernardino county in a SFR let’s say 20% and there’s nothing stopping him from doing so, is that correct?

[@WIREassociates]

That's correct, if exempt from AB 1482, a landlord is not capped on rent increases and could theoretically raise rent 20% on a month-to-month tenant. There are anti-price gouging regulations in place during certain emergencies, but that 's another discussion.

[@jennifertaylor2593]

Hi Christian, My landlord never gave me an exemption notice until it was on a 60 day notice that doesn’t have any reason for termination. And in the notice, it only has paragraph that says rent caps and just cause doesn’t apply to the property. Doesn’t go into the exemption law and my knowledge by signature. I’m being told, because it’s on there that it’s binding and I’m not entitled to have a just cause termination and I’m not entitled to relocation assistance. In your opinion, is that valid? Thank you in advance if you’re able to reply. Your videos are very helpful with so much confusion in the world.

[@WIREassociates]

Thanks for watching, Jennifer! You should run this by an attorney (try lawhelp.org for free or low cost legal assistance). Does it have the legal language printed on it, i.e. the paragraph from the law? I personally feel like the AB 1482 disclosure should have been delivered before, not at the same time, but the attorney will help sort it out.

@@WIREassociates no, it's to notify tenant re 1482 exemption. After landlord gives tenant the 1482 exemption there's a 30 days waiting period.

[@WIREassociates]

@@shereew Haven't come across that, TBH, but whatever your attorney advises.

Hi Christian - hoping you can answer a question for me or point me towards someone who can... I've been renting my unit here in LA for over 9 years. A few months ago a city inspector was called by another tenant in the building to after requests for repairs went unanswered. The inspector cited the following; 1. Missing certificate of occupancy for 13 studios 2. hazardous wiring 3. hazardous plumbing 4. missing fire suppression system 5. missing exits 6. unmaintained roof. A few weeks later another resident and I were served 30-day eviction notices. We were both current on rent. The LA RSO office then sent building owner a letter nullifying their eviction, as it was illegal, and sent us a copy of the letter. A week later we received notice from the landlord that the evictions were being rescinded. I'm not sure how to proceed here - the landlord doesn't have a cert. of occupancy, and hasn't had one for at least 9 years. Are they allowed to continue to ask for/collect rent from me? Thanks

Hi Question: At what point does it become harassment with how many times the landlord is showing the property to sell. It has been ongoing for a great length of time with no offers excepted.

If they are legitimate showings and you're given proper legal notice, then it can't really be considered harassment, but you should discuss with an attorney if you have reason to suspect otherwise.

DOES IT MEAN that the single family house owned by individual who does not reside in that house cannot get exemption? SEC. 2. Section 1946.2 (e) 8 Residential real property that is alienable separate from the title to any other dwelling unit, provided that both of the following apply: (A) The owner is not any of the following: (i) A real estate investment trust, as defined in Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code. (ii) A corporation. (iii) A limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation. ARE THOSE SEC. 2. Section 1946.2 (e) 5 and SEC. 2.

The answer is no to this question - "DOES IT MEAN that the single family house owned by individual who does not reside in that house cannot get exemption?" A tenant occupied single family home is exempt if it meets the other requirements. If the owner of an owner occupied home rents out 3 or more bedrooms then they lose the exemption.

Good question and maybe I should do a video on just this point because it is confusing. Of course, I always recommend discussing your scenario with an attorney. If a tenant was in place before July 2020 and the landlord hasn't renewed the lease agreement, then it looks like the exemption notice can be delivered. If the tenant did receive a lease extension after July 2020 and the landlord didn't provide the exemption notice, it's possible that the landlord has lost the exemption and the attorney will clarify.

[@williamhollman698]

@@WIREassociates Why would there be a deadline of July 2020 to provide the notice of exemption to existing tenets, if in fact a landlord can provide the notice after the deadline and still enforce the exemption? Take out the explanation for renewed leases for existing tenants...that issue is accounted for. I understand needing to steer clear of providing legal advice. As best you can, can you offer your opinion on what is different about a long term tenant that was not provided notice of exemption by the deadline vs a long term tenant who signed a renewed lease that the landlord failed to include the notice of exemption. It would seem to me that in both scenarios, the landlord failed to meet the legal requirement to enforce the exemption until that tenant moved on.

[@WIREassociates]

@@williamhollman698 It wasn't a deadline of July 2020, that was essentially the start date to start including it in the lease. Because it says this: "for a tenancy existing before July 1, 2020, the notice required under clause (i) may, but is not required to, be provided in the rental agreement." It basically says that a landlord can give the exemption notice as a separate document for tenancies that started before July 2020. This is also the interpretation that I have heard from attorneys who I know. But if the landlord creates a new lease or extension after July 2020 for that tenant, they need to include it in THAT document because the law says this: "for any tenancy commenced or renewed on or after July 1, 2020, the notice required under clause (i) must be provided in the rental agreement."

But I informed her that my 1 year lease calls for a SIXTY day notice to terminate on BOTH parties after the expiration of the lease. Here is an excerpt: "..continued payment of rent shall constitute a bimonthly tenancy." My reason for this clause was: good enough for a landlord, good enough for a tenant. Fair is fair, right? The law states "or other period less than a month." My guess is this is the reason she said 30 days is ok. If I decide to go this route, THEN I will consult her advice. Many years ago I called a local radio station and asked my question (on the air) about my 60 day stipulation. They (2 attorneys) could not answer right away and said they would respond after a commercial break. Their opinion was that it is invalid since I collect rent monthly. I had issue with it because my 1 year lease was NOT invalid even though I collect rent monthly. In other words, how often rent is collected should have no bearing on the lease term.

Thank you so much for this invaluable information Christian. Additional questions for you re: AB1482 properties: How often can LL increase rent for a month-month tenant in a 1 year? (tenant has been m2m for years now.) I read that LL can increase rent twice a year for month-to-month tenants. Is that true? If so, how does LL calculate their 2nd rental increase later in the year? (I know that it cannot be more than 10% with given 5%+ CPI change). Would the 2nd rental increase be an additional 10% from the current base then? How much notice is required for 1st rent increase in 1 year? 30 or 60? And how much notice required for 2nd rent increase in same year? 30 day or 60 day? And just to confirm - duplex properties that are individual owned LLC is exempt from AB1482, right? Are properties in revocable trusts exempt from AB1482?

[@WIREassociates]

To be clear, only owner-occupied duplexes are exempt. If it's owner-occupied and in a trust or an individual owned LLC, then it's exempt. For a property subject to AB 1482 right now, the rent increase would be a maximum increase within 12 months of 10% (since CPI plus 5% goes over the max of 10%). This can be done in one or two increases, but no more than 10% total for the 12 months, e.g. two 5% increases or whatever combo adds to 10%. Each increase (whether one or two) would be a 30 day notice, since it's 10% or less for the year. *The 60 increase is gone for increases over 10% in a year, it's now a 90 day notice.*

And how many days is he supposed to give me as notice. Thank you, hope you can help. Ps: I live in Colton CA

Did he give you the exemption notice for AB 1482? That will determine whether he can give that increase. It will need to be a 90 day notice for the increase, as well.

Hi Christian, My tenant signed a lease last year on September 8th and wants to sign a new lease. It's a single family home and older than 15 years. I plan to increase the rent from $1,400 to $1,600 per month. While researching if I could raise the rent by $200, i came across your video about AB 1482. Still a bit confused, I want to confirm since I did not attach the AB 1482 information to his current lease this is okay since I am exempt. Is this correct? And being exempt, I am allowed to increase the rent by $200? thank you in advance for your help

[@WIREassociates]

You need to give the AB 1482 disclosure stating the property is exempt in order to have the exemption. You should discuss with an attorney whether you can still give the form since it wasn't with the lease last year.

@@WIREassociates If tenant is signing a new lease, rather than extending the existing, doesn't that reset all attributes including the notification requirement?

[@WIREassociates]

@@mr0ptimistic No, unless it's a new set of tenants for the new lease.

Can a lawyer give you a summons before a 3-day notice for a unlawful detainer?

[@WIREassociates]

No, the 3 day notice would be the first step.

[@DaRay95]

@@WIREassociates wow, ok, I was at court and the lawyer and the process server said they serve me a summons in March 4, 2022 and then serve me a 3-day notice on July 22, 2022. The judge and I was confused about what was said. I filed a motion to quash and was shock at the lawyer and process server for what was told yesterday at court.

Is a townhouse subject to AB1482

[@WIREassociates]

No, in many cases it will be exempt.

[@jaxy4zumba]

@@WIREassociates huh, I'm confused. So that means I'm not entitled to relocation assistance?

[@WIREassociates]

@@jaxy4zumba It depends where it is and what a local ordinance specifies...you should always run the scenario by a local attorney.

My landlord won’t allow me to pay my rent. Until I pay the full amount I owe. But I applied for rent relief and they are waiting for landlord information. And they also sent my eviction to court.

Does this apply to low income tennant

[@WIREassociates]

Certain affordable housing options are exempt from AB 1482.

[@resng]

@@WIREassociates do you know what certain affordable housing options are exempt? Section 8?

[@WIREassociates]

@@resng Correct, Section 8 housing would be exempt from AB 1482, but discuss with an attorney. Here's what the law says: "Housing restricted by deed, regulatory restriction contained in an agreement with a government agency, or other recorded document as affordable housing for persons and families of very low, low, or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, or subject to an agreement that provides housing subsidies for affordable housing for persons and families of very low, low, or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code or comparable federal statutes."

You should discuss with an attorney ASAP...this could be categorized as harassment.
