So according to the news either the landlord or a tenant of the landlord divided a single family apartments to SRO apts. The rent is now going up to $1200.00 from $900 because the sub units have been eliminated to regular size again. It appears each apart was split into 8 rooms and they shared the kitchen. At $900/rm, the landlord or crafty tenant was making $7200/mo on a $1200/mo apartment. What a rip off. Since the landlord is the one ripping out the walls and raising the rents, he sure does look complicit in the scam. And being charged $900/mo for a room that can barely fit a bed is criminal.
It was the tenant who did this...unbeknown to the landlord. When you live in a city with rent control, tenants will use and abuse the landlord in whatever way they can to make money off of him/her.
Now they can pay $2000 a month for an apartment that is legal. Is that a better option? Did you even listen to the story? The landlord rented the space to a Tenant who illegally chopped up the place and Subleased it out to other people.
@@Fiftycents50 Did you listen to the story or watch the video? The rent is going up to $1200, not $2000. If you had read what I wrote clearly you would have seen that.
The immigrants agree to live in the apartments, complained about conditions, city ordered landlord to stop it, so he did by throwing them out and removing the partitions.
She clearly had no issue with the subdivision since she chose to move into the building. But she then complained to the city about it being illegal after the rent was raised. What did she think would happen if the owner was forced to tear the walls down? Did she hope she'd get the space all to herself, the rent reduced, and live happily ever after?
Mehran is a Scammer! I personally was acquainted with this man and he has sued many people in Los Angeles for petty things, karma finally has a kiss for him!!
Immigrants finding out life in the US is hard. The fact that their standards are so low to be crammed into a room and share a kitchen says it all. But of course that will happen more and more since more and more are coming. Good luck to us all.
When you complain your landlord to the City, there are 2 outcomes. You are out sooner or later, or your rates are going up sooner or later. What are those tenants thinking when they complained to the city?
Someone didn’t think this through 🤨. Maybe they thought they would get free rent? If you are going to complain (which they had a right to do, that seemed dangerous for that building / house) then make sure you have a place before. Seems sort of dumb and I don’t know why the tenants were shocked that their stuff were out the door. For me this seems like a strange story. 😪
Heard of a story -a tenant complained that basement was illegal. Then she had to vacate and ended up in a shelter with her child. Then was apologizing and crying about what they did trying to get free rent
@@Rubydiamondtruckerthere were code violations but the tenants were NOT being taken advantage of! They said their rent was $800-1200 a month which is half or less the going rate in the area. These are very stupid and I might say greedy people who got a cut rate apartment and were so ignorant about market rates they thought they deserved the full space for that. Now all the tenants are out on the street for this persons stupidity. We actually need options like this to avoid homelessness. Isnt it better to live in a smaller space with shared kitchen for $800 than to only have $2400 apartments available, if you can only afford $800?
During Covid emergency, many tenants brought more members to live with them since the city forbid evictions at all. So tenants feel free to do whatever they wanted, now that the city is not making more excuses to screw landlords, they are taking back the control of their property. Tenants ran WILD for 3 years, now is time to pay back.
the fuck???? he fuckin take in people who don’t have papers and took advantage of that! we pay our rent and he takes advantage yall need to get your facts striagt
People need to call the assessor's office before renting out a place. If the info doesn't match and the person swears they own the property walk away, they're either illegally subletting or scamming people. If they're working as a broker or an agent for the owner they need to have the proper documents and the owner should be able to verify their employment.
Listen up!! You tenants complain to the city that the landlord subdivided the space to smaller units which allowed you to have a small and affordable space to rent…but now your crying cause the city has deemed the space you rented was illegal and you now need to get a bigger and more expensive space.
@@jaym5938you must not be from CA rooms rent for more than $900 depending on what part your living in. That building looks to be newer construction also. A studio apartment is up to $2000 .
So let me guess. They packed in 15 relatives, won't pay more for rent the landlord can charge, complain to the city the apartment is substandard, city orders him to clean up, so he throws you out and removes your partitions.
@@arcticredpanda4598 Sure. Called annual inspections. You can inspect your apartments. You just set up a time to come by. So the landlord knew and got a cut.
mf no he’s taking advantage of us here! HE FUCKING WONT DO ANYTHING BUT TAKE CASH AND EXPECT US TO TAKE CARE AND PUT MONEY INTO THESE APARTMNNTS YALL DONT KNOW SHIT
As someone who is an apartment manager of 100+ apartments myself, there is no way that landlord is innocent. If he's not the reason it's happening, he's sure as hell responsible for knowing what's going on with his tenants. Besides, no one is collecting the rent but him. It sounds like he's trying to find assign blame to others to feign innocence. I hope they prosecute him!
The Owner of the building is going through some legal action to evict the “fake landlord” and the rest of the people he rented too. It’s suck for the family who fallen to this scam. They just needed a place to stay now they’re going to be evicted because this idiot wanted to pocket extra $$$. 😢
This is common for Latin immigrants, one person with an apartment would sublet parts of their apartment to other folks, usually charging 300 or 400 a month. Here in NY a is common to see 4-5 families living in a 2 family home. Then when a fire or other emergency happens they are screwed because they can’t get out or fire department can’t come in due to illegal walls where before was a door or walkway
4 or 5 families used to move into a 2BR house here in FL. Illegally. If the people were white they had their children taken by DHS. If they were illegals, they ignored it.
Landlords excuses: 1. Units were subleased and reconstructed by a subleasing tenant. 2. Tenant's called the City to intervene. Sounds like this owner is just lying out of his teeth to get away with his illegal actions and behavior.
I’ve known people to rent a house or apartment and subdivide the space and rent the sections . It’s very common practice in south central. This has been going on since the early 90s . I’ve seen families of 5 renting a small space in a home. I’ve seen as many as 15 people live in a two bedroom apartment that was subdivided. A very common practice.
Sounds like you're too stupid to understand the story. The landlord leased to a Tenant A. Tenant A then subleased to a bunch of immigrants who are in effect Tenant A's tenants. The immigrants consider Tenant A their landlord.
First the owner converted a single family unit into a "hotel" at 0:58, then the owner states that their tenant is subleasing to these families, so someones story isn't adding up. Would like to see how the owners lawsuit turns out and if there's an actual tenant to blame for the living situations. Also, I feel for the guy at 1:25, but it's not like the people that moved in didn't put themselves in that situation. They saw the living conditions and paid into it. If you can't afford to live in that area then pack things up and go to a lower COL area. If you wan't to stay, then look into state/locally funded programs.
If the tenants don't want to live in substandard housing, they can move out anytime. No one forced them to stay, whether the landlord actually put up the division or not. With 25 people living together, you would think at least one of them recorded the landlord throwing away their belongings, changing the locks, and building the dividers. It sounds like the tenants put up with a small living space when the rent was cheap. Now, they are unhappy, because the landlord raised the rent.
@@donaldkasper8346I don't think that's true. It's illegal in most places to raise the rent just because someone else moved in. Idk if it's a California law, but in San Francisco, a landlord can't raise the rent for that reason. If it's costing them more in operating costs to have additional tenants, then they can go to court to have the rent increased. There are laws dictating how many people can live in a unit due to fire safety, but the landlord would have to evict you, not turn a blind eye to the danger and charge you more money.
@@Jane-yg3vz Flat out the law in Caly. You rent for a specific number of people and if they bring in more, you can raise the rent. How would I know? A landlord told me.
@@Jane-yg3vz You charge them rent for X people. If more you can raise rent to cover the others. This does not cover illegal subdivision of an apartment unit.
💯 correct. It’s a common practice. People act like they were not aware. You can tell the illegal subdivision. I’ve seen up to 15 people live in a two bedroom apartment that was subdivided.
Exactly I mean is it the most moral thing definitely not but if you can't afford an apartment why TF would you tell the city you found affordable living conditions that might not be totally legal???
I am a landlord and i had this happen, rented out a house to a guy who then rented out bedrooms and was making 3 times what I charged. I only found out cause neighbors complained about too many car’s parked on the street. Took forever to evict cause I didn’t have sufficient evidence.
Have you seen the homeless problem in LA? Do you know its dang near impossible to build market rate new housing. Do you know that thousands of people stopped paying rent during COVID. The story isn't so Black and White but it most certainly was ALL caused by Government.
Money hungry greedy dirty landlords. Disgusting. Then call it a isolated incident. Thousands of such isolate type incidents make for streets fill of homeless people looking to the government for help . Greedy owners, milking the system. (Their tax dollars at work)
How can a tenant do this without the landlords permission, plus where he/she get the keys enter Tenant's apt. I call B.S on landlord, he could have found a better way to evict tenants like a 6 mth notice.😒👎Think this Landlord thought he could get away with this, because Tenants dont speak good english and are poor.
It is more to these people story how do you not pay your rent when Covid was over two years ago and they bringing in all these people and landlord have the right to charge more, but to throw their things out on the street that was wrong
I know exactly where this building is on Cincinnati Street. It sold in 2021 for $1.8 million. So this landlord either knew what was going on or is a total idiot who didn't check on their property in the two years since they bought it.
@@lisad56 if his constituents are being illegally mistreated then it's up to him to fix the problem. But, he's probably working with the building owners against the tenants. Either way, it's totally an issue for his involvement. Don't you know how city hall/council works.
How could the owner of the complex not see an increase of electricity, gas, water and trash ? When there are 8 families using resources it hits you in the wallet... The tenants should request an audit with the provided setvices to asertain whether he was notified and subsequently validate his knowledge of the scam.
I wanna see the news keep following up and showing us what happens to the 8 families living there and also to see what the landlord is doing with his other apartments. Lol don’t just leave it here. This is interesting.
We are family of 5 and we don't qualify for 1 bedrooms. How can they qualify with rhe many people . I was paying 1200 apartment of 3 bedroom and the rent increase to 2100 in 2022. I begin to work and we have to be move to another unit to find out that rent was going to increase again and we where force to move because that manage on Monterey pines in Richmond Ca begin to call the towed company and they demage our car from then on are life was a living hell with the resident and the landlord. We move and hopefully soon we are going to leave California because is a trash state now .
Sometimes i feel sorry for them but if I went to a different country penniless, what would i expect? prolly not much.....I used to live, for eight years in fact, in an SRO....a whole building shared by the whole building.....You work you're way out....
Beggars can’t be choosers. This is what happens when you slap the hands that feed you, or when you want to have your cake and eat it it too. I’ve seen so many disgusting tenants my whole life, that’s why I choose to live alone and not rent out to anyone, even if it means only eating crackers and drinking water every day. If you end up with a tenant from hell, good luck. Landlords matter and have rights as well. Grant it I’m sure many landlords are disgusting as well, but that’s why you have the freedom of choice, if you don’t like it, then LEAVE, go somewhere else!
Haha well if this isnt a lesson in stupid. She complains to the city about a code violation, which made additional units allowing her residence, they shut the building down because of said code violation, putting her out in the street. Im supposed to feel sorry for her? All her former neighbors should be kicking her to the curb for making them homeless too. And now others are complaining that theyll have to pay more for their bigger apartments? What is the world coming to with people this clueless? Code is code but if you didnt like the accomodations you were always free to go elsewhere.
@@donaldkasper8346 no they kicked them out because they reported the land lord for renting out a single family unit to multiple families. But the city kicked out the tenants who reported the land lord because the rooms were unlawful.... They kinda played themselves smh . I feel bad but c'mon people this was obviously gonna happen
So I should become an immigrant and apply for low income housing maybe I’ll get an apartment for cheap ? lol. Then cry when 25 people are living in it only paying 900$ 🤦🏻♂️🤣
No no no , you cannot legally rent out unpermitted spaces like this. They need to get a lawyer and they will be able to recoup all the money they have paid towards rent. So if they've been living there a year they're going to get their 12 months back. I've seen this happen.
Youre right its a violation of code but these tenants deserve zero legal compensation if we just consider basic ethics. They paid reduced rent based upon smaller spaces, they knew what they were getting when they moved in. It says they paid $800-1200 a month, where does that get you a full size apartment in LA! Thats 1/3 to 1/2 the going rate. They were stupid to complain to the city, now they move to a fully code compliant space at full price if they can find one.

WTF kind of land lord that night right take him to court you have rights
3 sides per story , I’m sure they knew and they had warnings
BLAME THE DEMOCRATS 🤬🤬🤬
There's only one color U.S. sees 💚🍏
I have to say Some landlords are 💩💀💩💀 animals unfortunately
Just Google Mehran Taavar (the Landlord) He’s Crooked and Likes to Sue ppl even the Courts Dismissed his cases LOL!!!
Beggars can’t be choosers. This is what happens when you slap the hands that feed you, or when you want to have your cake and eat it it too. I’ve seen so many disgusting tenants my whole life, that’s why I choose to live alone and not rent out to anyone, even if it means only eating crackers and drinking water every day. If you end up with a tenant from hell, good luck. Landlords matter and have rights as well. Grant it I’m sure many landlords are disgusting as well, but that’s why you have the freedom of choice, if you don’t like it, then LEAVE, go somewhere else!
Haha well if this isnt a lesson in stupid. She complains to the city about a code violation, which made additional units allowing her residence, they shut the building down because of said code violation, putting her out in the street.
Im supposed to feel sorry for her? All her former neighbors should be kicking her to the curb for making them homeless too. And now others are complaining that theyll have to pay more for their bigger apartments?
What is the world coming to with people this clueless?
Code is code but if you didnt like the accomodations you were always free to go elsewhere.
I've learned from experience that quite a lot of people lack the ability to think one step ahead.
The renters are the true Grifters followed by the shakedown activists.
Omg I can't believe the city let's this happens
Really?

@@donaldkasper8346 no they kicked them out because they reported the land lord for renting out a single family unit to multiple families. But the city kicked out the tenants who reported the land lord because the rooms were unlawful.... They kinda played themselves smh . I feel bad but c'mon people this was obviously gonna happen
@@Davidsweirdness Right. What I said.
Sounds like a Chinese land lord .
The owner's name was written on the letter that was posted on the video, and it's not Chinese.
Did these tenants think this was a hotel?
Send them to jail
So I should become an immigrant and apply for low income housing maybe I’ll get an apartment for cheap ? lol. Then cry when 25 people are living in it only paying 900$ 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Is a asylum immigrants whom gone lives theres you gone see
If they don't want it then find somewhere else, problem solved. Why cry all the drama when you can just leave lol.
OK SO GIVE UP YOUR SPOT THEN MOVE IF LIFE IS GONNA BE UNFAIR TO YOU ITS SO EASY RIGHT????
She looks like the blob!
No no no , you cannot legally rent out unpermitted spaces like this. They need to get a lawyer and they will be able to recoup all the money they have paid towards rent. So if they've been living there a year they're going to get their 12 months back. I've seen this happen.
Youre right its a violation of code but these tenants deserve zero legal compensation if we just consider basic ethics. They paid reduced rent based upon smaller spaces, they knew what they were getting when they moved in. It says they paid $800-1200 a month, where does that get you a full size apartment in LA! Thats 1/3 to 1/2 the going rate. They were stupid to complain to the city, now they move to a fully code compliant space at full price if they can find one.
Brandon’s open border policies have CONSEQUENCES💯✔️🤮
5 years without playing rent,,because of Covid ordinances, enough is enough..

Five years? Covid was in 2020- that was three years ago. This is how you out yourself as a troll. 😂
@Mlogan11 it will probably be 10 years with all the extensions. Meanwhile, landlords have to meet their obligations ,no brake for us.
People love to keep usingCOVID as an excuse not to pay their bills.🤦🏾♀️
Make me sick
Try moving to Mexico or points further south. I hear there's lots of room.
