Reminder to send out Exemption Notices
What Property Owners Need to Know About Rent Control Exemptions:
Today’s message is to all of the rental property owners, landlords in the state of California: If you own an investment property and you’re exempt under the new rent control law, you’re still legally required to give your tenants an exemption notice or else your property will be subject to rent control. To learn more about rent control exemptions and how they could impact property owners, watch our latest video.
Regarding rent control, there are several exemptions that allow larger rent increases and no-fault evictions, including: properties built or converted less than 15 years ago; houses, and condo units owned by a non-corporate individual. Most Downtown Los Angeles lofts and condos fall under these exemptions. Landlords with exempt properties must send a Notice of Exemption to the tenants to help ensure that the landlord retains these exemptions. If you own an investment property in the state of California and you’re exempt under the new California rent control law, you’re required under the law to still give your tenants an exemption notice or else your property will be still subject to the law. There are a number of properties out there that are exempt from the law. For example, single family homes, condos, townhomes, where it’s tenant unoccupied, are exempt under the new rent control law. Additionally, folks that own duplexes where a one unit is owner-occupied and the other units tenant occupied: those properties are exempt from the law as long as it remains owner-occupied from one of those units. However, regardless, in order for these properties that are supposed to be exempt under the law, in order for them to be exempt under the law, the owner of the property must give an exemption notice to the tenant, letting the tenant know that their property is exempt from rent control law. Otherwise you could be subject to rent control. And you know, it entails both limitations on how much you can raise the rent, but also limitations on how you could terminate that lease. Once a tenant has lived in the property for over 12 months, an owner can no longer terminate that lease if it’s under the rent control law without having just cause. But, this is just a quick reminder folks, that if you do own property that is exempt in the law, please be sure to send out those exemption notices, or else you could find that you are no longer exempt. Please tell any of your friends who own properties: single family homes, condos, townhomes that are tenant occupied, and duplexes where the owner occupies one unit and is renting out the other units. We’re finding that a lot of folks who own these properties are not aware of this law. They just assume it doesn’t apply to them and they’re not aware that they need to send out exemption notices to their tenants, in order to really be exempt from the law. There’s a lot more to the rent control law than we’re discussing in this post. Feel free to reach out to the L.A. Loft Blog, and we’d be happy to send you a copy of the law. It’s more information on the new rent control law.
Renters, landlords, buyers, sellers and investors should consult with an attorney, and should perform their own research and due diligence before taking any action or making any decisions related to these laws and policy changes. | MORE
