@latenants: Last week, newly-appointed Judge Cherisse Heidi A. Cleofe ruled to evict Julio, Agnes, Eunice and their families from their homes of 30 years, denying them their right to a jury trial despite evidence of their landlord Farid Muhammad’s “bad faith” Ellis Act eviction. We need everyone’s help in defending longtime tenants in our neighborhoods from the Ellis Act, which has decimated rent-controlled housing in LA. We need everyone’s help in defending Julio, Agnes, Eunice and their families’ right to a fair trial! Donate to these families via the Gofundme linked in our bio, and to receive updates on actions and other ways to support the fight, text JURY TRIAL to 323-713-0979 ** La semana pasada, la recién nombrada jueza Cherisse Heidi A. Cleofe dictó una orden de desalojo contra Julio, Agnes, Eunice y sus familias de sus hogares en las que llevaban 30 años viviendo, negándoles su derecho a un juicio con jurado a pesar de las pruebas que demostraban la “mala fe” de su propietario, Farid Muhammad, en el desalojo por la Ley Ellis. Necesitamos la ayuda de todos para defender a los inquilinos de toda la vida de nuestro barrio frente a la Ley Ellis, que ha diezmado las viviendas de renta controlada en Los Ángeles. ¡Necesitamos la ayuda de todos para defender el derecho de Julio, Agnes, Eunice y sus familias a un juicio justo!

The tenant doesn’t own the home. The owner is probably go to build more housing which city of Los Angeles La county needs more housing

While it’s unfortunate, they don’t own it. So it well within the owner’s rights to do what they’re doing.

Also mention they get over 20k for relocation. How do you want to FORCE a landlord to keep a tenant?

If LA COUNTY preeches “affordability” then they should not charge or keep increasing property tax on the owners. And in favor, owners can keep rents low. See, what’s happening is LA preeches keep rents low but when the same organization increases taxes, water, utilities, permits, all other crazy ancillary taxes on the owners, the owners have no option but to increase rent. So if LA County wants to put their money where their mouth is, this would be the best solution. And if the owners don’t reduce rent, then LA can increase their property taxes. This is fair….

It’s called property rights if someone owns property in the United States it’s up to them what they want to do with it. Why don’t you tell them what the owner had to give them for relocation fees

Passed by the state legislature in 1985, the Ellis Act allows landlords to evict tenants and withdraw rent-stabilized units permanently from the rental market.
time to change the legislatures!
...and people don't vote!

We do not need more units. We need affordable homes/single family homes.

She isnt the owner. And the owner has that right to give them notice to move out. She doesnt need her day in court, because if anything, this will put a stain on her record and she wont be able to rent anywhere else as then she will have a Eviction on her Record.

So owner decided to not rent out their home anymore. Ellis act would require them to offer it back to the old tenant if they decide to rent it out again within 5 years. Are you saying the owner doesn’t have a say in what they do with THEIR property?

ali_kat52 :
Wait, so the the owner has no right over their property? They no longer want a tenant living in their property? The owners allow them to live there for 30 years. You can’t even have rights to your own property.

I would’ve been saving tons of money into a savings account because I knew the day would come that I would have to vacate and plus they’re gonna get paid to relocate, but I get it. It’s the principal of rent control.
