Sorry, Terry. I called the rent stabilization board AND spoke with an eviction attorney. Both said that no reason is needed to give 30 days notice to move even in rent control building. I have done this several times.

Now, I don't BANK on anything that a government employee tells me, however, I have spoken to several other LL's in the area who are also under rent control, and this is their understanding as well.

It's possible that we are ALL wrong, but unlikely.

If you are in Los Angeles proper and your building falls under that..the rules posted above DO apply.

If you've been able to successfully go around them..great..but I wouldn't bank on it.

I have read the actual CODE..I suggest you do too...in case you ever get challenged.

If however you are just in a rent stabilized area not in L.A. proper which is what the "summary" I posted applies to, you can terminate w/o falling under one of the reasons listed above.

Good luck...I would never want to own in L.A.

In case you miss my other post..the summary is not "technical" word for word of the ordinances and amendments but on the link I posted for you you can download ALL of the actual code/info and then compare it to the summary.

Yes it is written in a liberal "tenant friendly" dramatic slant but pretty much if you read the CODE most of it is "real"...though the guy stretches it a bit huh? It IS an easy to read "summary" though...and trust me every tenant in L.A. knows about it and refers to it ha ha.

I don't claim to be NOR WOULD I EVER WANT TO BE an expert in L.A. LOL. NO WAY I'd ever own there or any other rent controlled area if I can help it. It's bad enough I have to read about the hundreds of lawsuits in the paper each day where LL's in L.A. did NOT follow the law and lost lots of money as a result.

Anyway...if you find IN THE ACTUAL UPDATED/AMENDED CODE any differences to the summary, instead of saying "it's flat wrong" why not cite the correction and actual code to go with it...and write to the author too.

I so would hate to own in L.A. but respect those who do. Unless of course I owned an excempt property..nah..STILL wouldn't want to own in L.A. LOL.
