No. I know a nurse who had to hire a lawyer to defend themselves when a blind person (blind for many years from many years of diabetic retinopathy) walked up their front walk, supposedly tripped and fell (no witnesses) and sued them saying the fall caused his blindness. “Winning” cost them $50,000 in lawyer fees. Do you think the average person has $50,000 to hire an attorney ? Why should they have to spend that in the first place?

There is so much inventory being held off the market because of this. Now there are housing activists that think something should be done about it. Are they looking to see if they have tipped the scale too far in favor of deadbeat tenants? And that it might be harming good tenants? NOPE, they want to place a vacancy tax on vacant units to fund "affordable" housing projects that cost $450,000-$990,000 per unit to build. After years of not being allowed to collect the rent, some landlords are raising the security deposit. And the lobbyists for the tenants are working on limiting security deposits to one month's rent.

BINGOOO! Unfortunately, California has shot itself in the foot. We have a huge housing shortage that won't be corrected without investments in housing. In many markets, they are trying to recruit homeowners to add an ADU to their home and rent it out. Good luck with that after allowing tenants to not pay rent for three years and still requiring the homeowners to pay the taxes, maintain the property, and in some cases pay the utilities. It was three years in Alameda County with an eviction moratorium. Some of the tenants were making more money than ever as traveling healthcare workers and buying new BMWs. Some even sublet the unit. Investors will not forget this and California renters will pay for this for generations. It will be almost impossible to rent a single-family home in California. It will be only apartment buildings with professional management and a lawyer on the payroll.

But unlike the landlord in this story, I DID NOT ask them to pay rent, I ask them to leave by the end of month (because the deceased was cool) which they did without trashing the place though they left it dirty with trash all over but no structural damage…. I know I dodged a bullet because L.A. City is no joke and they are very tenant friendly; tenants can do no wrong!
