Hello. I am currently living in a boarding house ( 1864 Cordova street ) near Washington Blvd. near Koreatown.
The owner ( landlord ) of this place has recently changed and it is now managed by "ALTMAN APARTMENTS".

Its owner ( 1864 CORDOVA STREET,LLC ) has sent an eviction notis through the court.
I don't understand what's going on, I pay rent every month and I didn't do anything wrong.

The house is predominantly Latino American and it seems that many other residents have been sent similar notices.
So I consulted through a place called StayHousedLA, and a lawyer who works for me as a volunteer told me that such notices are invalid.

Then the owner now gave me a document saying that he would pay me $1500 to agree to evict me.
Apparently, the owner wants to demolish the entire house and rebuild it into a new building and start running it again, and he wants to evict us for that.

The lawyer advised us that we should not agree to the amount offered because it is too cheap.
This lawyer does a good job of nullifying my appearance in court.

But if the owner offers me an even higher amount, I wonder what I should do.
So far, no residents seem to be willing to agree to the amount and move out, but I am afraid that if other residents start moving out, I will have to do the same.

Is this kind of arrogance acceptable ? Even if I were to agree to move, what amount do you think I should agree to ?
My current rent is very cheap ( less than $450 per month ) and I have no other options If I were to find a place to move to, I don't think it would be that easy to find a place in the Los Angeles area with a cheaper rent than I have now.
I would appreciate your advice on how to handle this situation in the future.

If you go to EDN (Eviction Defense Network ∷ and ask for help.
1930 Wilshire Blvd. #208 La ca 90057
located in City Hall
HOUSING + COMMUNITY INVESTMENT DEPARTMENT
1200 WEST 7TH STREET 8TH FLOOR LA CA 90017

EDN has people coming to them with eviction problems, so
if boarding house residents get together
and hire a lawyer to handle it
the owner can't easily They will not be able to evict them.

I am amazed that there are properties under $450 in this day and age

If you want to rent a new place now, even a small Studio in an unsafe area will cost you $ 1300+ per month.

It looks like the rent is about 30 years old, but you lived there for 30 years ?.

Is there rent control
No contract when you move in
The owner didn't want it
The new owner wants to remodel and rent it at a higher price
Hire an EDN lawyer to evict you for $100,000
Tell the new owner from the lawyer
give up the $100,000 eviction fee and
sign a memorandum of understanding that they may continue to live in the property as before.
EDN lawyers are very good at what they do.

If your contract is for a year or so, you might as well get paid and get out ?.

# It depends on the contract, but in most cases, you may be kicked out after 30 days of NOTICE.

So to avoid this, hire a lawyer from EVICTION DEFENSE NETWORK to do the eviction.

In a 2-bed apartment where someone I know lives,
they went to court to evict him,
but before the decision was made, the owner contacted the tenant's lawyer
asking him to withdraw the case,
and put the tenant's argument in writing.
signed and we were able to live in the house with no problems.

11 That's a real possibility.
You could become a believer in some religious institution
and volunteer your time and devotion to the institution
and you might get help in your time of need
from fellow believers in the same institution.

If you know the owner personally and have known him for many years
especially if he is an elderly owner, he will not give you any details
but will let you move in without worry because he knows you.

I know someone who lives in a 1-bed apartment
and the owner called him to come in because a room was available
and he has lived there for over 10 years now.
The rent was about $400+ when he moved in,
he said it went up a bit and now it's $500+.

There is a 3 bed 2 bath in that apartment
that has been vacant for over a year.
I know someone who said no kids, no pets, and
can't seem to find a renter.

> No children, no pets > It seems that they can't find tenants.

If there are no tenants with only those conditions,
there must be a lot of vacant houses all over the place
Who would really believe such a thing and write about it?

The owner will not answer an unknown phone number.

If they don't pick up the phone, we won't be able to talk to them.

Who writes without knowing that.

Contributor. Thanks for all the input and information.

I moved into my current place about 20 years ago, when it was owned by a Japanese-American couple and the tenants were mainly retired Japanese-Americans living on pensions and Japanese in the US. At that time, there were also Japanese tourists staying there.

The couple transferred the property to another owner with an agreement not to change the terms of occupancy, and over the next 20 years, the owners changed one after another, and for the past 10 years, the owner has been a "Rocky Patel".
And now the rent is paid to "1864 CORDOVA STREET, LLC".
This is just a guess, but I think this kind of name is used to hide the owner's personal or company name.

The number of Japanese residents has gradually decreased over the past 20 years ( due to their passing away, etc. ) Most of them are now Latinos. There are now two Japanese, including myself.

The owner is planning to move all the current residents over the next few months, and then demolish the current house and build a new building over the next two years.

The other residents were not able to hide their outrage at this incident and asked for support from a Latino organization that helps with these kinds of problems in order to get some kind of compensation. I joined them, but since I did not understand Spanish, I also consulted a place called "StayHousedLA innercitylaw.org" and a lawyer from there helped me.
Perhaps, but I think it is the same kind of organization as EDN that Myote Kaiharu mentioned.

Frankly, I just can't get behind a business that hunts down vulnerable people in this way, and I posted this to let the Japanese American community know about this.
As expected, I am not thinking of going up to $100,000, but I am thinking of trying to get my side of the story heard while telling the history of the House so far.

Rocky Patel was owned by an Indian, not a white or Latino, owner. It is unclear if this person is still involved today.
