Q) Being an owner of a rent control property in the City of Los Angeles, can I move into a unit and continue leasing out the other units? What is the procedure to have one of the tenants vacate since they have lived there over eight years?
A) An application needs to be filed and approved by the Rent Stabilization for the City of Los Angeles. Relocation money would have to paid to the tenant. Currently that sum is $17,080.00. Since the tenant has been in the unit for over one year, a 60-day notice to quit would need to be served on the tenant, once the application is approved.
Q) In an unlawful detainer trail, a witness cannot attend due to preexisting vacation plans. Is it permissible for this person to sign a statement?
A) In general, an out of court statement cannot be used during a trial. This would be considered hearsay. If this person's testimony is truly needed, you should seek a postponement of the trial so that this person would be in attendance.
