Long Beach City Council Passed RENT CONTROL April 2 Behind Doors
There are tenant rights groups starting in Long Beach and then spreading RENT CONTROL gardena huntington, santa ana, seal beach, fountain valley etc. They want to bring more govenrment red tape on how housing providers and investors do business and want to create a tenant welfare system charging huge fees and price caps on rents.
If you're landlord or investor in Lon Beach please call the city council and get the word out.... the city council did a vote under the radar and behind closed doors. They passed Tenant Relocation Fees of $4400-$6500 capping rent raise at 9.9% so if you have an old unit that's getting only $700 you will only be able to raise it $63 even if you had to do a $20,000 upgrade you are capped. Or you'll have to give the tenant $6500 cash.
So it's rent control but the city council is calling it other names like tenant relocation assistance and tenant protection.
The Tenant groups are claiming that this is just the 'foot in the door' for full blown rent control on houses apartments and condos. The tenant groups like the Democratic Socialists and Tenant Union groups are trying to come after your retirement and investments!
So this just in LONG BEACH CITY is trying to pass a
sugar coated RENT CONTROL where landlords are capped at 9.9% rent increases OR they have to pay $4500-$6500 in Tenant welfare.
They tried to do this under the radar and just pass rent
Call city council
Please immediately call and email Mayor Garcia and all council members and tell them to oppose all forms of rentcontrol aka “tenant protections” and please ask them to stop the attack on small housing providers and renters in Long Beach.

Crazy they want to charge landlords during tenant move outs $4500-$6500 and are capping rent raises at 9.9%
There are no city protections for small landlords or housing providers. The ones who pay property taxes and hire local workers and stimulate the local economy.
Tand the South Bay that don't make it difficult to provide housing.
This sort of tenant relocation out of the pockets of small business owners (housing providers) will affect the entire market and Long Beach economy... mainly negatively.
