The Tenant Protection Act of 2019 created statewide rent control and just cause eviction protections for most residential properties in California, indicating a significant shift in tenant rights.
The exploitative scheme was first uncovered by Outlier, which reported that RealToken properties are plagued by squalid conditions, unresponsive property managers, and arbitrary evictions.
Tenant rights groups argue that some landlords exploit renovations to evict tenants under the guise of overhauls, subsequently imposing higher rents on new occupants. This process is labeled as 'renoviction.'
Christina Smyth stated, "We understand that this is a very difficult decision, and that this board is put in a position each year to the utter failures of the state elected officials and the city government to address the high cost of housing and the abject lack of supply."
The suspect clearly made it his own property. He was clearly using amenities inside the residence, sleeping there, explained Juan Madiedo, an officer with the Gwinnett County Police Department.
The Rental Tenancy Board concluded that, despite serious allegations made by the landlord regarding anti-social behaviour, there was insufficient evidence to support these claims.
