Last week, I learned about Section 8.52.110 which is an LA County regulation requiring an owner to compensate residents they are evicting through the Ellis Act (no-fault) anywhere between $7k and $20k depending on the number of rooms in the apartments and the age/disability of the resident being evicted.I believe Hermosa Beach follows this rule, the city lies within LA County, but can't verify with anyone from the City if the City has a rule that supercedes the LA County rule.Can anyone with knowledge of this rule and how it is applied point me to a website or other source of information that would answer this question?

Banks and lenders only require (2) months of checking or the account from which down payment will come from for underwriting.Feel free to reach out to me if you want to get more clarity. 

Both of this will likely require real time conversations which will be difficult from India3) Maintenance when tenants are staying - I feel less worried about this as I can have the tenant coordinate with my chosen vendor (that I already have or can potentially find from India by talking to them on phone at night time in India / morning in the US).

The fact is that you have a list of requirements for renting from you, that you present to each applicant and marriage status is not on that list, supports your argument.

Any info would be great I have been told that the max household income with new rentals is 105k however I see online that it is 193k.

- I use an online credit/eviction/criminal background check service, should I expect them to be able to fill out and pay via the online service?

I found a few online but I don't think they're what I'm looking for.

I checked with the City and both the Planning and the Building departments said they don't require a Survey.

Hi John, I recommend reaching out to a local property manager (search on Google Maps) with many 5-star reviews to see what legal action you can take before the Sheriff is available to execute the eviction.Property managers specialize in landlord-tenant law and should be able to help you determine a path forward that doesn't require waiting 3 months after the lease ends.

Certainly open to other ideas and strategies, it would just require additional diligence from my end given my level of comfort and expertise would be lacking in other areas.
