Housing Discrimination Los Angeles, California “White Privilege” 

[Personal rights] “All persons within the jurisdiction of this state are free and equal, and no matter what their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, or immigration status are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services in all business establishments of every kind whatsoever. Unruh Civil Rights Act 

To Williams Real Estate Advisors, Inc/Hi Point Apts LLC et al: 

1.Your latest notice said that rent checks are payable to : “Williams Real Estate Advisors”. This represents an illegal unilateral change in terms of tenancy. Our rent agreement for unit 9 says that rent gets paid to “Hi Point Apts”. Please revise your notice and state that our rent check must be made out to “Hi Point Apts LLC”. If this is not done in a reasonable amount of time, I reserve the right to file a complaint with rent control or a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.Please forward me a copy of your written agreement with Hi Point Apts so I can see that they told you our rent check must be payable to “Williams Real Estate Advisors”; I am a third party beneficiary to that agreement.

“…she should undergo racial sensitivity and residentlal apartment management training which also covers the state housing discrimination laws…”

3.Cynthia Ogan is the resident manager at Hi Point Apts 1522 Hi Point St. By letter tenants were told that tenants are to bring their “general concerns” to Ogan; the owner also supplied tenants with Ogan’s email and phone number. First, Ogan does not appear to know the fair housing laws and she should undergo racial sensitivity and residentlal apartment management training which also covers the state housing discrimination laws. Ogan has been in my unit at least twice and was supervising the repairs in my apartment and coordinating with maintenance Ali Mozannar and others. [June 2017].

“…the intercom remains un repaired…”

4.Ogan has participated in illegally denying tenants of unit 9 “full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services in all business establishments of every kind whatsoever” in that the intercom remains unusable and unrepaired. I consider this retaliation. When I asked her and Mozannar about my intercom [and another gentleman with them], Ogan said she did not know anything and Mozannar said he was only told to repair the bathroom sink. Ogan had previously asked me why did I need an intercom. Ogan has refused her duty to act in a reasonable and good faith manner and seek answers to my general concerns to her; I have letters where I was told to contact Mozaanar directly [or WREA], which I have done, but the intercom remains unrepaired. I hereby accuse Mozannar and WREA of unlawful retaliation because I complained.

5.If I ask Ogan a question, she should have a non­discriminatory and professional response in line with her duties. Saying why do you need an intercom or “I don’t know” are not acceptable responses to my concerns. Let me know Ogan gets the training she needs. That goes for her roommate Darren also as I have witnessed him performing resident manager duties on the property.

6.A notice needs to go to all tenants that only three dogs are permitted in the tenant unit at any one time. All tenants need to be alerted that if they see any tenant with more than three dogs, that tenant should be reported to management.

7.Any tenant, including Ogan, who cannot comply with the city animal/dog ordinance, should face eviction per the rental agreement and house rules.

8.Telling unit 9 to make rent payable to WREA instead of Hi Point Apts LLC also represents criminal fraud on the part of WREA which I am reporting to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.

9. Under the racist Nazi regime of Williams Real Estate Advisors, Inc. et al, tenants unit 9 still have not been provided “full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services in all business establishments of every kind whatsoever.”

Update March 19 2016

Hi Point Apts is Unsanitary, Substandard, and Unsafe

LA county Public Health Feb 10 2016 have said they have no authority over the wiring in the 1522 Hi Point St 90035 building.

Health and Safety code 17920.3 sections(a)(13) and (d) and (i) give the city and county employees jurisdiction, but as of March 16 talk with city code enforcement, and after over two years of defective security system intercom wiring, government employees maintain they have no jurisdiction under H & S code 17920.3. City employee Richard Brinson, Le Taun J. Cotton, Veronica Bauchman, David Burkhead, Richard Jackson, and Udo O. Nwachuku all claim the city and county employees have no jurisdiction to enforce defective and improperly maintained wiring.

Since there is general dilapidation abandoned vehicle and improper maintenance of the wiring and construction materials, the Health and Safety code 17920.3 declares the building to be “unsanitary” and “substandard” and “unsafe”. Tenant security is at risk.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to renting rent controlled apartments?

Pros: lower rents, predictable rent increases, limited reasons for eviction.

I am always surprised at the number of people who move into apartments when their income barely will pay the rent and they pay no attention to the laws effecting rent increases. When applying at a rent control building, the owner is required to post a notice that the building is subject to rent control.* Or you can verify it with the city. The city of Los Angeles, for example has pages and pages on their website explaining rent control under Los Angeles Municipal Code [“LAMC”]. These regulations are in addition to any laws passed by the State of California that regulate tenant rights. So say you know the building was built before 1978 and it is under rent control and it is a decent apartment, and not too far from your job, and the rent is $1000 for a one bedroom with all utilities paid and includes stove and refrigerator and a parking stall. Sixteen  months pass and all is cool, but then a new owner purchases the building. That is when all hell can break loose. Having lived in rent controlled and non-rent controlled, I find that when a new owner appears that seems to be when all the trouble starts because they will want to raise the rent and evict lowering paying tenants.  Harassment will be the owner’s favorite tactic.

“Would you rather your rent increase 3% over 12 months or have it increase 10% every three months?”

But back to rent controlled: the $1000 apartment you pay for a medium sized 550 square feet may go for $1700 in a newer non-rent controlled building. Under rent control the rent can generally only be raised once every twelve months in Los Angeles 3% and is not cumulative [some landlords tend to abuse this]; but under non rent controlled the rent can be raised repeatedly say $100 or more every other month and is there is no law against that. So if you are in a rent controlled building and being treated decent by the owner, you are probably getting a good deal. Would you rather your rent increase 3% over 12 months or have it increase 10% every three months?

“…you may face an increased level of government discrimination, corruption, and unresponsiveness”

Tenants are covered by the state laws on tenant landlord. That is one layer of protection. As with any law, if you cannot get local or state authorities to enforce the law, then you may have to seek attorney assistance or resort to do-it-yourself tactics. Those who live in rent controlled buildings can benefit from an increased layer of protection from rent control laws, but if you have a complaint that the government agency won’t enforce, you may face an increased level of government discrimination, corruption, and unresponsiveness. There are numerous links in this site that will show examples of lack of enforcement by rent control and housing agencies, to the detriment of the tenant. I know one example where the property owner reduced housing services but refused to give rent reductions required under Los Angeles rent stabilization ordinance; one such illegal rent increase amounted to $3.61 per month; may not sound like a lot but stretch that out over three years is $129.00 and multiply that by 100 tenants = $12,900. So you can see the incentive here why the city government and property owner may violate the rent control laws and participate in unlawful unjust enrichment. Complaining and enforcing your rights under law may not come without some costs. Most tenants of course don’t complain and that is what property owners depend on.

Cons: rent control regulations may not be enforced, bully tactics of landlords, only applies to buildings built 1978 and before [Los Angeles]

Having worked for government a number of years, and had experiences with government agencies, I find these agencies tend to mislead whether they will enforce your tenant rights. You may face lying and cheating and stealing from government officials if you try to assert your rights under rent control. If you are standing in the way of a owner who has managed his finances poorly but cannot raise your rent by $500 because you are under rent control, he will gladly resort to bully tactics to get you to move “voluntarily”. So in a rent control building, at least on paper you as a tenant have another layer of laws to protect you, but you will may face increased violation of quiet enjoyment by the owner who wants to raise your rent or who wants you out.

Evictions

Under Los Angeles rent control for example, there are only 12 reasons why a tenant can be evicted including failure to pay rent. In order to evict from rent control building, the owner must state one of those twelve reasons and report this to city rent control. What about in a non-rent controlled building? In that case, state law applies in California. Even if your rent is current, an owner only has to give you 60 days notice and you have to move. Study the laws for your particular city.

Bottom line: rent controlled apartments built before 1978 will cost you less than a market rate apartment and may  be bigger in square feet [Los Angeles]; rent increases will be predictable. Everything will probably go smoothly unless you try to assert your rights under rent control regulations.
