Rent Control - or Rec Rooms As Apartments
So when all the new tenants came into this building we noticed that there was no "rec room" as advertised on the sign out front (which has now been removed). We figured well - a whole room can't just disappear right? After all according to the other older tenants there was a rec room at one time - but now it seems this building is sans rec room.
So you have to ask yourself - where did the rec room go? What happened to it and who is holding it hostage?
Well the answer my friends lies in the fake apartment 8. Apartment 8 began it's life as a rec room according to the blue prints on file. Now however apartment 8 exists and there is no rec room. So we asked management to provide us what they sold us.
As you can probably guess - we've never gotten our rec room - but we did get something - we have an inspector from LA County rent control who is coming out in the next few weeks to take a look at the "studio" apartment that never existed before. After calling rent control we discovered that unit 8 isn't registered and legally Milan can't collect rent of any kind on a unit that isn't registered.
Hmmmm - wonder what rent control will do once they see the mysterious vanishing rec room?
