Q and A with Prop West: Rent Control

Q) I own a building under rent control in Los Angeles. My tenant's one year lease is expiring soon and I have asked him to sign a new one year lease. The tenant is refusing to because he wants to stay on a month to month agreement. What are my options?

A) The Rent Stabilization Ordinance for Los Angeles would consider this to be grounds for eviction. Present your tenant with a similar one year lease to sign prior to the existing lease expiring and if he does not sign it do not accept any rent. Serve him with a 3-day notice to sign the lease or quit and if he doesn't you can begin eviction off the 3-day notice.
