LA apartment owners on split court decision over relocation, evictions: Still not enough to justify investment
"Daniel Yukelson, CEO of AAGLA, stated that the appellate court's decision provides some flexibility for operators to adjust pricing to meet operating costs, but broader regulatory challenges persist. He emphasized that the issues extend beyond these two ordinances, describing the situation as 'death by a thousand cuts' for landlords."
"Yukelson noted that mom-and-pop landlords are particularly affected by the city's regulatory environment, which he likened to a leaky bucket, indicating that the cumulative effect of various ordinances has created significant financial strain on small property owners."
The Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles achieved a partial legal victory regarding two city ordinances: the Relocation Assistance Ordinance and the Eviction Threshold Ordinance. The California Appellate Court sided with AAGLA on the relocation ordinance, which requires landlords to provide relocation support for tenants displaced by lawful rent increases. However, AAGLA lost on the eviction threshold ordinance, which restricts evictions until tenants are one month behind on rent. AAGLA plans to explore further litigation against the threshold ordinance, emphasizing ongoing regulatory challenges faced by property owners.
