Los Angeles Tenant: Building Sold...How To Play My Cards Right?
Good Evening--
I am a landlord back home on the east coast but I have been renting in LA for the past 2 years to get settled in a new area.
Long story short: Our building (quadplex) just sold 3 months after we moved in. Over the past 3 months, the building and unit has been one maintenance issue after the next after the next and it was clear the landlord was selling. Well it finally sold.
How do I play my cards right to come out on top? Apparently, in LA, with a rent controlled apartment, which it is, they will have to pay us to move out so they can renovate? Any insight into this? I believe it's called the "Tenant Habitability Program" or something similar. We don't have to move but if they want us to, we want to get paid. Help us out!
