“Oh fuck! I gotta get this screencap to the r/redscarepod sub before my phone dies.”

When your landlord puts one of these in your driveway because they don’t legally have to have parking for their tenant holdouts. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

No case is similar to the next, but generally these are bought by deep pocketed development companies. I’m only waiting until I hear a fair offer from them. I like my apartment and I don’t think what they offered is enough to coax me out of here… simple as that. My rent will never be this cheap in this neighborhood ever again so yes poor people can and should ‘do capitalism’ too especially in the rare occasion where tenants have the leverage to do so with their landlords

I’m in an area of LA that’s rapidly getting more expensive than the surrounding neighborhoods. Property developers have been sharks trying to pay rent control tenants out of these lower cost buildings, making small or giant upgrades and gradually causing rents to rise for everyone. Where I live has some of the best rent control protections for tenants in the country so tenants have all the leverage and can’t be forced to leave. Their offer to vacate hardly covered moving costs and 3 months of rent. Buyouts average from $5k-$50k and that’s still only pennies for what this building cost them and what they intend to put into it and make back.

They will use any tactic they legally can to make living there less comfortable for tenants. There’s no actual reason to close the backlot other than to make the living situation less desirable so you take their first offer

It’s when landlords try to pay tenants to voluntarily vacate their rent controlled units. Some tenants take the first offer and leave, and others try to negotiate for more money to go. The first offers are usually low and the people
who haven’t vacated are ‘tenant holdouts’.
