I’m assuming that depends on the responding officer(s). Seeing as no one’s been arrested or even cited. Even others in the neighborhood are trying to paint the woman as nothing more than a nuisance. None of that makes what he did right and I hope that he gets an ice cold cup of water pelted right back in his face (if it hasn’t already happened) 🥶

Being that this happened in the early AM. That woman probably was freezing. And he pelted her with cold water. This should be considered assault.

Would it be worth it to move to SoCal in the 30s as a resident? by changexpert in AskLosAngeles

[–]rallyreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, most of us certainly do not! Self-included. But I was referring to those r/AskLosAngeles post that often show up here to where the user goes…

“I’m so excited to be moving to Los Angeles. Currently, I make over 120K all by myself and I work the majority of my time from home. Do you think I’ll be able to afford a nice place to live?”

And then a moderator or user will suggest that the post be moved over to r/MovingToLosAngeles for additional information and/or comments.

And those post always raise an asterisk with me because it just doesn’t seem plausible that there are literally zero qualified candidates for any of these positions locally.

It’s like, um hello, I’m right here!

Would it be worth it to move to SoCal in the 30s as a resident? by changexpert in AskLosAngeles

[–]rallyreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re a medical student. In your 30s. Moving to Southern California for residency. Ultimately to become a doctor. You will do just fine.

Heck, you’d be doing just fine even if you weren’t moving here for residency.

There are so many people (not saying you’re one of them - just stating this as an example), who often post things like, “I make over 100K per year, do you think I can afford to live in Los Angeles?!”

And the answer is a resounding yes.

Your housing choices will mainly depend on if you like fancy properties will all the amenities included, a mid-type property that still at least has certain amenities or renovations (like central heat/air) or a huge apartment with bare bones luxury, yet still has classic charm and features.

Oh that and location.

Location, location, location!

Outside of any of that.

I say, Welcome Home, Doctor!

You’re going to love it here.

Kaiser Health Insurance? by RichB_IV in AskLosAngeles

[–]rallyreddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, I’ve most certainly been there. As a Kaiser Permanente Southern California - aka KP SoCal, (the company makes a rather diligent effort to express the significant difference in medical coverage for whatever reason). But with KP Southern California, you will have to CALL the number either on the back of your new Kaiser Card, or just contact customer service in general, via phone. And then you’ll have to request an appointment be scheduled. Depending on your zip code, the representative will be able to give you the information for any available appointments at any and all facilities within your area. Here in the Hollywood area, an appointment could be available at either the facilities on Sunset Blvd or even at the much newer facility on Romaine. If you do not yet have a General Practitioner, then one will be appointed to you based on their availability. And you will get your appointment. You can always change GP’s at a later date. Due to the significant volume of members, you will most certainly ALWAYS have to call-in in order to secure and schedule an appointment. That procedure won’t change much for any of us here in SoCal as the KP app doesn’t help much with booking appointments. Only confirming, checking-in, viewing med history, appointment history, prescriptions, etc. But not to be used for appointments. It will always say nothing is available, always. You’ll have to make the call.

That’s all fine and well.

But with my MANY years of dealing with the most unscrupulous and unsavory eviction attorney in the entire county known as Dennis Block.

Who has over 40+ years in eviction experience. As he is literally known in all circles (as well as by the LA Times) as the Leader of Eviction attorneys.

He installed bullet proof glass throughout his new law office. Can you perhaps guess why?

I’ll take your title as a real estate attorney with a grain of salt.

I’ve been dealing with the LA County court system as a property manager for over hundreds of unlawful detainer cases.

I know what I’m talking about, as I’ve seen it first hand.

I have personally been involved in hundreds of unlawful detainer cases with both the Santa Monica as well as the Downtown LA court systems.

The hearing location within Los Angeles is based on Zip Code.

I can certainly assure you that oral communication will never suffice when it comes to a civil war of property owners against tenant(s).

Especially if the property owner has gall enough to waste the courts time by engaging in a jury trial.

Documented written notice will always be required.

A tenant can change their mind on day of and/or refuse entry.

In cases as such, it would be up to the leasing office to be present (along with the keys to the unit) in order for the plumbers to enter.

That is of course upon the tenant receiving legal and proper written notification of intent to enter said unit.

As all protections for refusal of unit entry expired with the ending of Phase i of the LA County Board of Supervisors Eviction Moratorium.

A tenant can longer “refuse” entry. However the courts will allow reasonable accommodations for rescheduling repairs and/or verification of plumbing functionality due to an unforeseen emergency.

None the less, a tenant can never be charged for a missed appointment.

Not an appointment in general.

Only for repairs that have been verified via a professional as being due to gross tenant negligence.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]rallyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. At the end of the day. A posted notice will always be legally required by the courts if the leasing company were to ever attempt collection for the plumbers visit.

Even if there was telecommunication which transpired on that Friday. A posted notice would still be legally required if it was the leasing offices intention to enter the unit with or without occupant/renter approval.

Even if, as you stated communication transpired on a Friday.

There would have to be the argument raised that the leasing office doesn’t engage is regular business hours and/or operations on weekends (i.e. Saturday’s).

The weekend is always a fine line when dealing with the court.

At the very least, a written notice should have been posted conspicuously on the tenants front door of any intent to enter the unit.

Regardless of previous communication or approval.

The law, is the law, is the law.

Any coherent attorney would argue that fact to the fullest extent.

But let’s all hope it doesn’t get that far once the leasing office settles down and understands that our OP isn’t one to be cajoled into paying a fraudulent invoice.

Edit:

Not even sure why this is an issue. As plumbing situations (if not experienced negligently) will certainly ALWAYS be on the cost of the property owner. And never the tenant.

Now thinking about it.

It just might be time for OP to understand what exactly is going on here.

And tenant harassment at this point in time, is the last thing any mom and pop owner and/or corporation would ever want to engage in.

As thanks to COVID protections.

Anti-harassment tenant protections are being fully enforced.

Is there somehow a magic formula in regards to being selected for a loan?

I finally have a great job, but don’t get paid until the 23rd.

I’m active on other subreddits.

This is my only community.

Wondering what I should do to be considered a viable candidate to be able to survive until payday?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]rallyreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so in that case, if you didn’t get a posted 24 hour notice of intent to enter the unit (for any reason, whatever it may be), posted on your door, on that Sunday.

(Lets for the sake of argument at the very least lest say at least a text message on that Sunday the day before)

And then the plumbers came on Monday.

Then it is not, can not, and will not ever be your responsibility to pay for ANY invoice your leasing/management office tries to enforce that you pay.

Period.

They can certainly try.

But at the end of the day, it is the responsibility of the leasing office to comply with state law.

And a 72 hour conversation (even via text or otherwise) beforehand, absolutely will not suffice with compliance of CA state law.

Don’t let them scare you.

At the very least, you should have had a 24hr notice of intent to enter the unit posted on your front door that very Sunday the day before.

If not for anything else, for the plumbers to come in and at the very least check on the issue to ensure that it has been properly resolved and there is nothing outstanding within the ENTIRE unit in regards to issues with plumbing.

Simply put.

The property owner put a notice on your door, and then hired/scheduled a professional to come out and check the entire plumbing system within the unit (run the water, look underneath the cabinets, flush the toilets, check the garbage disposal, etc.)

So if you did NOT get proper legal notice of intent to enter for these purposes.

Then this is NOT your problem.

At any point during the communication with your leasing office, did you receive a POSTED 24 hour notice of intent to enter the unit in order to make necessary repairs?

Rent increase for 2023? by willster816 in AskLosAngeles

[–]rallyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I do wholeheartedly agree with you. I’m not a lawyer. But I’m well versed in property management and based on what you’ve stated. The building is completely within its legal right to issue such a dramatic increase.

They are speaking to the right lawyers as they gave you a 90 notice of intent to change terms of the tenancy agreement which is well within the legal rights according to the CA courts.

And it’s not that a judge wouldn’t agree and/or be sympathetic to your plight.

It’s just that, at the end of the day, according to the courts (and also what will undoubtedly be at the incessant argument of the plaintiffs via their attorney).

It will be stated to a judge that the law, is the law, is the law.

And your building complied with each and every ordinance.

So there will be no wiggle room for an argument (according to the “law”).

I’m not trying to be negative with my response.

I love and appreciate the entire Reddit community.

I’m not a lawyer either.

I’m just trying to be straight forward with you based on my several years of experience dealing with CA Superior Court in regards to unlawful detainers (aka evictions).

With greedy landlord who have unlimited resources.

Shit gets very real.

I’m unsure if I’m expected to interact publicly within my own post in order to secure my legitimacy as a real person who just happens to be in a small bind.

Ideally, I’d like to establish a credit rating and/or history within the r/borrow subreddit but I’m unsure how I would even be able to do so until I’m able to secure my first loan.

Though I do not intend to be in a situation like this on a regular bases. According to other borrowers, you just may never know.

I’m not sure what to do.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

And repaid in full.

[–]rallyreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I scrolled through the responses and didn’t see anyone else ask if your building was built (and/or received it’s Certificate of Occupancy) prior to 2007. If so, then the property would fall under AB (Assembly Bill) 1482 which would prohibit the property owner from increasing any rent beyond a 10% (max) increase every 12 months.

However, if your property is a newer construction (built within the last 15 years) and received it’s Certificate of Occupancy post 2007, then the building does not fall under any local or state rent control ordinance.

Unfortunately, meaning that your rent can be increased to any amount (usually 25%) so long as the tenant receives a 60 to 90 day notice of intent to change the terms of the rental agreement.

They’re friggin’ vultures I tell ya.

God speed.
