Same People - New Site - Still Lame
Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? That's the question that I asked this weekend as the main site for the "management company" who owns many buildings in the LA area remained down. I suppose it has something to do with this domain name - and how maybe it was impacting their business.
So now they've pushed all their leasing and rentals to www.milanleasing.com - the same crooks who harass and bully tenants into moving - or harass them and file frivolous eviction suits against tenants who pay their rent.
Speaking of paying rent - and deposits. There is a clause in the landlord tenant law that says that these crooks owe the existing tenants some cash. According to LA Housing and Rent Control interest is to be paid back to the tenant -
"Landlords of rental units subject to the RSO, which includes dwelling units, suites,condominiums, duplexes, guest rooms, and rooms in a hotel, motel, rooming house or boarding house occupied by the same tenant for more than 30 consecutive days in the City of Los Angeles with a certificate of occupancy first issued before
October 1, 1978, must pay interest on all security deposits held for at least one (1)
year for their tenants."
How does the landlord determine the amount of interest and what is the
amount required to be paid?
Since 2004, interest payable to tenants may be determined in two ways:
1) use the simple interest rate established by the Rent Adjustment Commission; or
2) pay the tenant the actual amount earned on the security deposit. If the second method is
used, the landlord must provide the tenant with a copy of a bank statement indicating the interest earned on their deposit for the year.The interest rate set by the Rent Adjustment Commission for 2006 is 1.74%.
What are the interest rates for prior years?
For the period of November 1, 1990 through December 31, 2000, the interest rate
is five percent (5 percent) simple annual interest.
For the period of January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001, the interest rate is
two percent (2 percent) simple annual interest.
The annual interest requirement was waived for the period of January 1, 2002
through December 31, 2002.
The interest rate for the period of January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, is
1 percent simple annual interest.
The Rent Adjustment Commission (RAC) approved an interest rate of 0.26 percent
simple annual interest for the period of January 1, 2004 through December 31,
2004.
The interest rate for the period of January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, is
1.21 percent simple annual interest.
Q.How and when is the payment of interest on security deposits to be made?
A. During the Tenancy.
A tenant is to be given the unpaid accrued interest on security deposit in the form
of either a direct payment or a credit against rent. The landlord must choose
between the two (2) methods of payment and must notify the tenant in writing of
his/her choice. The landlord may choose to pay the accrued interest on a
monthly or yearly basis.
So it seems that perhaps harassing people over rent increases, bogus fees for $2.96 which can't be explained, and other minutia isn't the best route. Understand that we know what you're trying to do, and I think that you're going to have a hard time going about it. Do you people really think that any judge is going to side with you?
Instead of harassing tenants, having your co-owners make threats of burning the building down, and other wastes of time - you should probably do what any legitimate property owner does when they want people out. They pay to relocate them - is that really so hard to understand.
While other landlords in this city are dying for the types of tenants you're harassing, you want to evict them illegally, threaten their safety and post erroneous three day notices. Instead you've moved in an apartment full of pot heads, a psycho with 4 dogs who urinate and defecate everywhere, and your most recent move to make the psycho in unit 7 leasing manager is beyond anyone's grasp.
Once could even argue that if you cretins give anyone a three day notice that's lived there over a year that the three day notice would be ineffective (I'll let your fat man in a skinny tie handle this - although I'm doubting he or you will figure it out).
So on the domain name change - thanks for giving us a new SEO target. Nothing gives me more pleasure than making sure the illegal practices endorsed by your "management team" don't proliferate out into the universe. Perhaps Monica, Carolina, Tony, and Georgina will decide at some point in life to take the moral high ground but for right now they're all feeding off the same crap you serve everyone else.
