I'm involved in the program restoring some of these properties once they have gone through the process. 

I see from LA RSO guideline documents that "The rent level on a rental unit, after the family member or resident manager terminatesoccupancy, shall be restored to the rent level prior to the eviction, plus any automatic increasesthat are due.

City Fire department will have the information of the property and will determine the restoration process - rebuild or restore2.

We plan on moving in for the restore.

You could hire a fire restoration company to give you an estimate of how bad it wa and how bad it is.

This is in a small town that I own and operate other rentals.I am a bit nervous of the type of renters that are in these deferred maint properties currently but see big upside if properties are restored, Partialy because all are within 1/10mile and many property boundaries touching the community college. 

We offered in-home massages, grocery delivery, professional photography, etc etc and it was very spotty. 

If they want to run a daycare, give massages, or do photo shoots in the back yard, then I will not allow it.If he is using it as a mailing address or for a Google business page, I wouldn't care.
