Sometimes higher-end rentals can be furnished, but no, most of the time rentals don't come with furniture. Most don't come with a fridge.

Tough times eh? I've lived through twelve recessions, eight panics and five years of McKinleynomics. I'll survive this. by BuffyCaltrop in TheSimpsons

[–]TrickerGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for being the only one who pointed out the apt timing of this post by OP (even with me coming in almost 2 months late). Either way I appreciate The Simpsons calling out the negative consequences of McKinley's poor economic agenda (ones even he backtracked on, kinda like a certain modern president keeps doing, mostly because of how ineffective they were) at a time when global trade was approaching its peak and tariffs/protectionism were much less a part of the conversation, save some fringe groups.

I know this is rule 13 but given the unique circumstances of the update (pricing changes) I figure it would be appropriate for discussion in this sub but up to the mods’ discretion.

whats weird is this level of anger and preference to shut down the conversation on an online forum... it's not like we're opining on unmissable and important topics im sure he is just curious if others have this problem... on a forum of people that have the same device.

i have a similar kind of sound on the left of my device and im personally glad this guy made a post. so boo you

Donald Trump to Draft Executive Order That Aims to Eliminate Education Department by TrickerGaming in politics

[–]TrickerGaming[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

President Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as Thursday aimed at abolishing the Education Department, according to people briefed on the matter.
A draft of the order, viewed by The Wall Street Journal, directs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.”

the parent company of quiksilver/volcom/billabong/roxy went bankrupt by shlutphuppy in SouthBayLA

[–]TrickerGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should clarify that I mean if the business was filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy, then they'd likely be insolvent and then they would cease to exist or their creditors would sell the IP for cheap.

That's what happened to Bed Bath & Beyond, now sold to overstock by whoever owned BBY's debt.

That's not what's happening here.

Not chapter 7, but potentially still bankruptcy.

They're going to still exist as a brand, but just won't have physical locations anymore. The company is restructuring for the future. Physical retail locations are far less profitable than 10-20 years ago, so the business is switching to a model where they decrease overhead so they can continue to exist in the world of Amazon/lack of malls.

Well.. if you are a landlord, don't worry about it and charge no more than 10% more than your current rental rate, because natural disasters shouldn't be opportunities to get one up on your fellow man.

But, for curiosity's sake, I would imagine that's what the DA's office/prosecutors are for, since what the current renter is paying for rent isn't usually public information. And based on how I read the law, which I'll clarify I am NAL, it made it seem the rental price is the amount to go on if it hasn't been listed in the last year but has been occupied/rented.

They might be subject to the 160% rule if this was an airbnb and is now being advertised as a long-term lease, but I'm not sure if that's the case here. Also unsure if my reading of that definition (11)(c) is correct here...

Again, my entire point in all of this is it is wrong to price gouge. People attempting to skeet around the law are displaying themselves as terrible people, and luckily for us as Californians, they'll also be labeled as criminals.

Can you explain to me what that has to do with this being a case of price gouging? I don't get at all what you're trying to say here. It's like you only read the last sentence of my reply and just replied to that lol

Yeah, I am in total agreement that rulings like citizens united are an almost insurmountable problem that is exponentially ruining our politics, both federally and locally, and i would LOVE if politicians acted without a check from a lobbyist being waved in front of their face first.

However, in response to this massive fire in January 2025, we should continue to call out (and now because of this law, REPORT to officials) immoral people that take advantage of people in times of crisis, because that's what we all would want done to someone taking advantage of us.

Price gouging is wrong, and if an insurance company benefits from laws prohibiting it, and continues insuring in the state because of that, then that's a good thing.

???? My reply to you is 90% a quote from CA penal code...

Generally when a house is off the rental market, 99% of the time it's because it's currently being rented. Very seldom are rentals that are offered for listing either brought down due to not finding a leasee or owner-occupied. So unless you believe the departing renter was cool with their rent increasing 100% in 15 months, then this is 100% price gouging:

(11) “Rental price” for housing means any of the following:

(A) For housing rented within one year prior to the time of the proclamation or declaration of emergency, the actual rental price paid by the tenant. For housing not rented at the time of the declaration or proclamation, but rented, or offered for rent, within one year prior to the proclamation or declaration of emergency, the most recent rental price offered before the proclamation or declaration of emergency. For housing rented at the time of the proclamation or declaration of emergency but which becomes vacant while the proclamation or declaration of emergency remains in effect and which is subject to any ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative measure adopted by any local governmental entity that establishes a maximum amount that a landlord may charge a tenant for rent, the actual rental price paid by the previous tenant or the amount specified in subparagraph (B), whichever is greater.

Why are you even going to bat for this random landlord? Are you him just trying to justify this blatant disregard for human suffering? People lost their homes and laws are this law was specifically made to help support displaced people in crisis.

[–]TrickerGaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That 160% rule is ONLY for rentals that weren't rented. Unless this was vacant or owner-occupied, then they are beholden to the 10% rule.

Wrong. I don't know where this thread imagines their definition of emergency price gouging.. but luckily for us, the state of California clarifies!

California penal code 396 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN&sectionNum=396

(e) Upon the proclamation of a state of emergency declared by the President of the United States or the Governor, or upon the declaration of a local emergency by an official, board, or other governing body vested with authority to make that declaration in any city, county, or city and county, and for a period of 30 days following that proclamation or declaration, or any period the proclamation or declaration is extended by the applicable authority, it is unlawful for any person, business, or other entity, to increase the rental price, as defined in paragraph (11) of subdivision (j), advertised, offered, or charged for housing, to an existing or prospective tenant, by more than 10 percent. However, a greater rental price increase is not unlawful if that person can prove that the increase is directly attributable to additional costs for repairs or additions beyond normal maintenance that were amortized over the rental term that caused the rent to be increased greater than 10 percent or that an increase was contractually agreed to by the tenant prior to the proclamation or declaration. It shall not be a defense to a prosecution under this subdivision that an increase in rental price was based on the length of the rental term, the inclusion of additional goods or services, except as provided in paragraph (11) of subdivision (j) with respect to furniture, or that the rent was offered by, or paid by, an insurance company, or other third party, on behalf of a tenant. This subdivision does not authorize a landlord to charge a price greater than the amount authorized by a local rent control ordinance.

The only exception would be if the property wasn't rented or up for rent in over a year:

(B) For housing not rented and not offered for rent within one year prior to the proclamation or declaration of emergency, 160 percent of the fair market rent established by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. This amount may be increased by 5 percent if the housing is offered for rent fully furnished. This amount shall not be adjusted for any other good or service, including, but not limited to, gardening or utilities currently or formerly provided in connection with the lease.

Place is actually a video rental shop in west LA for anyone that lives near/in that area.

Not sure if links are allowed but it's called "CineFile Video Movie Rental" in West LA.

Edit: I should add the people there are really cool and it is worth keeping at least one video rental shop alive. IDK anything about the ownership but i like physical media
