Q) I have a rent controlled building in Los Angeles. When I bought the building, I got the tenants to sign new rental agreements. My rental agreement limited the parking spaces to one per unit. One tenant is parking two vehicles on the premises. He told me that he has always parked the vehicles on the premises, even before I was the owner. Since he signed my rental agreement, limiting the parking privileges, can I enforce this provision?
A) Your tenant had no obligation to sign the new rental agreement. Since the tenant did sign the new agreement, he must now follow the parking rules or that would be grounds for eviction.
