​@warrenwhitmore7472 that sucks. They need to have government programs that compensate a landlord. My neighbor had non paying renters that caused over $25,000 in home damages. He provided a home for someone and now he is out all that money. The plus side once fixed it will be rented at a higher price. He going rent in our area is $3,7000 and above.

​@@kosmiccandieBut, why rent it again? This person loves pains

Because that would improve things and make housing more affordable. The ridiculous property taxes and my tenants are always shocked what it actually costs because they are led to believe we are pocketing all that rent, simply blows my mind all the time.

California is doing "free" health insurance to certain groups. I ask how about "free" home owners insurance, auto insurance, and earthquake insurance.

that's sacrosanct, no way in hell do taxes go down -- gotta support that tax $$ machine known as PERS...

rent should be according to income and match the renters needs especially for those starting all over again. what happened to 675 or 775 rent for two bed room and studio. we need to bring this back into all communities of California.

@@000.yellow how about this. You save your entire life to buy either a house or apt building. You do this as an investment for your retirement some years down the road. You start renting these properties to help pay the mortgage, insurance, water and taxes. But then a renter moves in and won’t pay anymore. Then perhaps another does the same. Do you think that as adults the owner should let these adults live off their hard work of saving their own money to buy the property? It’s nonsense because they’ll lose the property and their investment! It’s not easy being a landlord and if you don’t like paying rent, buy your own property!

Exactly. San Diego and Tijuana are great examples of this. There are far fewer regulations in Mexico driving up costs and driving down housing supply. California has statewide rent control yet thousands of American citizens commute daily from Mexico due to much more affordable housing. And thousands of Californians have moved from California with rent control and tenant-favorable laws to Texas without rent control because the houses are much more affordable in Texas.

the problem is half of the country does not belong here, anyone since 1965 is an illegal. our population naturally grows and develops slow, this inflow of foreigners has thrown a wrench in our society entirely as we cannot keep up with such growth.

so you want us to become a cancerous favella like mexico? no thanks, inhibited growth is more stable in the long term, who will feed and educate and medicate all the newcomers? taxes would have to rise or services strained massively to the point of collapse as is happening in the healthcare system now.@@mwatercress

indeed, the challenge is to get 'tenants' on the side of the property owner who's doing all within their power to bring on more and more rentals -- it 'is' the insidious government class who are the true bad guys in the rental world... @@mwatercress

@@mwatercress When WWII rent control was lifted, only New York City kept it. They quickly became a slum. I don't believe in tearing down housing that someone would prefer to live in than under a bridge or in a tent on the sidewalk. Rent it to them. But if you tear it down, replace it so people can move up and leave behind a vacancy that someone will want. This is how you continuously refresh a wide range of rental options and have housing for students and people making a new start.

Who created the loss to landlords. Decisions made by trump!

Intelligent landlords sue for eviction and go to small claims court when they're not paid. Dumb bunnies who don't budget for such possibilities wind up "devastated." That's the cost of any old dingbat deciding that the only work a landlord need do is cash the rent checks.

And have to fix things. I work with people who work OT and saved when they were younger to get these places. After 2020 they started working OT again whenever it is available just to keep paying for the people in the apartments or houses not paying. I have been evicted before because I didn't understand the extra days I need to pay for when moving out of my landlord place. It would not have gone that far but I didn't communicate with him. LoL... As we were talking outside of the court. As he told me he thought I was just being mean. I told him no I was just trying to make sure the place was clean the way you gave it to me. I feel stupid for not calling the man. He felt bad that it went so far. Because I always paid a few weeks in advance. None the less he did rent to me again because I was always on time and only asked to fix big things and not things like battery for alarm. He did look back at my file I did pay money back which he cut down to lawyer fees and the 4 days. It's when I learned to just try to talk to a person. But I'm not a fked up person and he was either it's just that other people have been really bad. There were a few in my new apartment . This is how I found out how people are with him. He was like I wish everyone was like you.

@@nancymcmonarchexcept landlords can’t recover money from people who are poor. Most of the time you’re not getting the money even if you win small claims court.

@@nancymcmonarch You don't sound very smart. Suing in small claims court DOES NOT gurantee that the tenant will pay up. I hope you understand that!

I think it would be better to pass laws to make it easier for more people to be able to buy houses. More people should be homeowners not renters.

Black Rock is not buying right now. But I get your point. When mom ans pops cannot afford it anymore, they sell to institutional investors, who have strict rules. They don't rent to dead beats or people down on their luck.

@@sblijheid I'm waiting to hear Black Rock and Van Guard announce they're merging and renaming the company "Blackguard," pronounced, "Blaggerd."

People will take out mortgages to buy tents for $250,000 or even more here in California where I am.

@@sblijheid Black Rock is laying off 3% of their employees announced today.

I wouldn't blame tenants. Even tenants recognize that property tax is too high and more buildings need to be built, most of us recognize those things. Laws like this are really pushed by the politicians who come up with ways to act like what they do is for us, when really it's not the answer and not what most of us have been asking for. Everything now is being orchestrated to drive tenants homeless and small landlords out of business, so they can be the next wave of homeless too.

There are landlord rights. Give a notice of unlawful entry, see the damage, give a 3 Day notice to Quit. It's not that hard.

@@michelleadams5609 It is not that easy. Deadbeat tenants get free legal representation, while landlords hire their own lawyer and shoulder court cost, and they're not cheap. Then there's mediation before actual court appearance. Tenants usually bargain for more rent-free days while they look for another apartment, plus they ask landlord to cover moving expenses. Some even want their deposit back. I'm not complaining. Just happy my deadbeat tenant is out.

@@marietta1335 I'm a good tenant and have also been assisting renters and landlords for over 14 years. Legal representation is not guaranteed. Where do you see attorneys being provided? Having an attorney is part of being a landlord. It's the difference between being a real estate owner who wants someone to "pay the rent" and being a landlord. I own a bakery, but if I want to hire more help, I'm going to need to get the assistance of my attorney because I have to follow the laws. It's part of having a business. No, they are not cheap. There's mediation any time, but it's a pre-requisite before a trial. Yes, they do indeed bargain for more days, but say "no" and move on. You need a better attorney, it sounds. Asking the landlord to cover moving expenses is only required under an RSO, or a no fault eviction under AB1482. The tenant is broke. Offer them money to move out, cash for keys is always cheaper than eviction. ***What I usually see are bad landlords that harass good tenants because "deadbeat tenants" don't seek legal representation. They usually hide and cower. I don't help those types.

@@marietta1335 Btw, I said a 3 Day Notice to Quit. That's a very quick process. It's an incurable notice because the OP described "destroying the property", not in your scenario where the tenants were just disagreeable.

yeah well, that's like suggesting doing away with attornies and permitting 'adults' to resolve their differences; the US with 4% of the planet's population has over 'two-thirds' of the planet's lawyers -- and you can bet the vast majority of those snakes are bona fide leftists...

Bingo; I'm sure they will come up with a way to make credit score/eviction record illegal.

In California, especially in densely populated cities such as Los Angeles have a huge homeless problem. And instead of taking accountability, they are trying to put the onus on landlords much as they can. Until homelessness starts to decrease, we will continue to see such laws.

Not to mention the high property tax imposed on landlords. God, have mercy!

If you want to sell a property, please let me know

Good call. Not everyone is cut out to be a landlord, and it's a lot more work and responsibility than just sitting back and collecting those rent checks.

Don't do it. If you're in a university town, better to rent to overseas students, they're rich & safer.

Same here thought of investing and the rent would the mortgage but imagine if the renters don’t pay what is my fault . I can’t afford to pay mortgage . What happens in that case . Do they want me to sell all my primary house to keep the renter who has no responbikity ? Or is piece of shit to stay at someone’s property for free

@@nancymcmonarch It is not just sitting back and collecting rent checks. We provide a service. We maintain the home and keep it safe and comfortable to live in. We answer every call from our tenants.

including mandating 'renters' insurance, no not the liability currently mandated but insurance pretty much the same as auto insurance which will include arrears rent and of course all damages. Sadly 'good quality' tenants will also have to pony up a monthly cost akin to the cost of auto insurance which is going to spike rents -- all as a result of insidious leftist lawmakers who'll stop at nothing to ensure their 'hate' of landlords spreads to tenants...

That's very true. There are some more laws that regulate tenant screening, but landlords need to go back to meeting your prospective tenants, interviewing previous landlords, and not leaving it to a third party.

If there's more damage than you assess it at moveout and charge them accordingly.

Trust noone

If the owner needs his home back to live in....believe me it can be done in a day. But some owners need their homes back for their kids, maybe the parents are separating and one needs to move to the rental, there's so many reasons. He'll, if their primary home went through foreclosure....you think they're going to fix up the rental for their own taste then move in? Nope...they're going to bring in a mattress and fix as the days go by.

Also... court might fight... if it was habitual for your tenants, it is habitual for you😂

@@kimberlymartin459I don’t understand this law. It’s discouraging for landlords . If I want to invest and rely on rent to oh my mortgage what will I have to do. How is this going to be my fault if the renter does not pay.

How come givt does not take this responsibility or renters should have some insurance which will pay landlords in case they fail to pay .

The process for evicting a tenant who doesn't pay rent is pretty straightforward. Happens every day all across California. Best thing is to turn the whole process over to your attorney.

This is not fair at all to landlords who work hard and invest . I am not landlord either but hope to save in future and buy house and this scares me .

@@shilk4301 You don't want to be a landlord. It's nothing but headaches. Invest in the stock market, or a good retirement fund. Never buy a house you don't plan to live in yourself.

​Blahblahblahblah...YOU put down the bottle You🤡!​@@blahblahblah6499

And yet here you are watching California related news 😂 you folks that move out are all the same trying to be "cool" by whining I'm glad I moved out 😂

Yes, and those landlords get the least amount of rent of any of their more thoughtful competing landlords. The only people willing to rent from them are those who plan to save on rent and move out ASAP, or put in their own sweat equity while locking in the lower rent, or who are currently desperate to move out of their car or the bedroom they share with 5 other people. Shop around. If the landlord you describe actually exists, see what else you can get at that same rent, and if it's vacant and available, the landlord is asking too much, but if someone lives there, they have a bargain. Real estate, owned or rented, is never free of sacrifice. Even when my great-grandparents homesteaded on land for free, they risked their lives and spent them working hard to make a home. Others seeking lower rents have longer commutes. The most important thing is to allow the market to meet our needs, not to restrict what we can do.

mostly because they cannot afford to after taxes, maintenance, fixing tenant damage , tenants not paying rent etc etc wait till everything is corporate owned which is what the state wants. wait and see how high the rents will be and new laws favoring eviction!!!

Tenants do not take care of the units and expect them to be fully updated and remodeled. Most do not pay on time and neglect the property.

That is what happens to a place when tenants refuse to pay.

The benefits of renting is you can move if you don't like where you live...If you own a mortgage you are stuck. No one can force a tenant to stay where they are not happy...that simple.

The old Mercantilism system supported by Keynesian finance. A two-tier society, no free-thinking middle class.

Did you see those shitty apartments?

@@baby8314 Who made them shitty? abusive tenants did

There is no reason to be a Landlord. They will have no choice but to sell their homes and let large corporations buy them and rent them under rental companies. No one can afford to buy so, investment companies will buy them up.

Don't you mean when the TENANT fails to pay 4 month back Rent , don't clean, make excuses and stop saying a lie or talking point of the non deposit return cuz it is protected by law.

@@ernestgonzalez941that’s very unfortunate but as a tenant I pay rent weeks in advance clean and repair potential damages out of my own pocket my land lord loves us, but I know and understand that’s a small percentage of people who are responsible and care for others property like it was theirs.

Renters abused and excused about Covid and didn’t pay . They abused and the judge were defend and protect them and always on their side . Too bad

This should not even be happening . Renters should have sole insurance incase they can’t pay so that landlords don’t have to worry about their mortgage payments in case they rely on rent, which most do

New homes don't need solar panels. They have great insulation and energy efficiencies. It's the old homes that have to compete for solar panels and labor that really need it and save on it. Further, putting it on a roof that is in the shade most of the day makes zero sense but it does raise the price of housing!

Not charging you 7k to move in will make it HARDER to own a home?

@@autoklashkinov It will have more investors keeping their units vacant. Market rate rental projects in my area (Sonoma County) are being canceled and converted into single-family-owner-occupied housing projects starting at $750.000.

​​@@autoklashkinovAmazingly, It might just do that.

@@niccosalonga9009 explain how

@@autoklashkinov This regulation of what landlords do, in the current environment, might just make most of the landlords sell their properties or convert them to something else to pursue other businesses. These properties will not be rent-able/buy-able to the average person while being sold or converted and, if sold, will probably be taken up by wealthy people and corporations and such who may decide to renovate them or hold on to them until a better environment for landlords occurs, or in the current environment might decide to not use these as housing but convert them into something other than homes for use in other types of business. Its not a certainty, but as I said, it might just do that. If this occurs there will be an unnatural scarcity of homes for purchase, driving overall prices higher. I've heard instances where a few corporations buy homes at higher prices, hold on to them, then sell them when the prices have gone way up. In the meantime, the homes are "under renovation". Then there's buying whole apartment buildings, demolishing them and turning them into offices or malls or such.

Then, why would you watch a newsclip about a security deposit? I grew up in a small beach community, and my family has been here for centuries. I would hate to leave, but the cost of living is coming down, so God willing, we stay for now. It's home.

Your family should be helping. You already get a handout

My parents still work at 80, overcoming diabetes and cancer 5 years ago (with the Carnivore diet). That being said. The simple truth is that your situation won't get better until you work. I work with tenants in every income bracket and I hear their tale of woe, but the bottom line is that their income is just not sufficient to cover their expenses with the price of everything going up. When I was in grad school, I met a lot of 40, 50 year old B.A. students who were working their hearts out to get a degree because they knew how important it was to get into a career they wanted. All that to say is that if you want something, you have to work hard. And when your efforts aren't enough, like in this current economy, then you have to look around and find people that are doing what youi're doing and ask them how they do it. My cousin is blind, he works. My friends have autisitic and special needs kids, they work. You're under the poverty line expecting a studio in California. You're not stuck in California. You don't have friends in your life that will tell you the truth. I wish you the best, but your attitude is keeping you where you are, not your circumstances.

leftist lawmakers have fully BS'd tenants into believing quite the opposite, sadly tenants fall for it. The true and real bad guys are 'not' landlords but leftist politicos and their beloved bureaucrats...

Investing in rental property takes more courage and much more risk than working for some corporation. The owners risk everything they have and the tenants don't really care one bit. I stick with my philosophy, "If you don't own it or work for it you don't care about it." I have seen this for years as a home repair person who had clients in the rental business. After people move out I would have to go in and remodel as they destroy everything. Kitchen cabinet doors ripped off the cabinet and thrown in the corner, holes in the walls, carpet ruined, filthy toilets and sinks, and shit everywhere. People who work hard and buy a home generally take really good care of it. People who rent it couldn't care less for the property and treat it that way. It's the same with welfare, when you get something for nothing you have no appreciation for it. The people that bitch the most of how horrible things are, are often the people on welfare getting everything for nothing. Years ago I had a friend who was getting government assistance. This was long before vouchers. They would go to a government facility and get free food. butter, canned pork, macaroni, bread, etc. They would give us the butter saying it was not as good as the store brand, they gave us the canned meat saying it tastes like dog food, and some of the other foods they got for free. I was tickled to death to get this food and never saw anything wrong with it. People who do not work for it don't appreciate it.

Newsom is intentionally trying to empty out California

Yes - every time I go to California for business I’m like, “Y’all people are weird!” Not sure what they put in the water out there, but the thought processes of Californian’s leaves one scratching their head……🤔

"Greed" is the cure for "price gouging," and vice versa. If prices are too high they get no bids, but if they're higher than previously, more builders and investors will be attracted to the profit potential. New supply brings more "greed" from the renters for a new home at a competitive price, and they leave behind their old home to someone at a lower price. All of this is solved in time by free markets, doing what they've always done: trying to fill a need by filling the need of someone else to the satisfaction of both parties (law of supply and demand). The problems come with the use of political processes to second guess all the parties and restrict their options and driving up the costs of compliance and the time it takes to fill those needs. BTW, I can't afford to rent. I'm lucky I sacrificed my whole working career and bought real estate instead of vehicles. I drive a 1987 Honda, and its only my third car (the first was a 1963 Bug, and the second was a 1977 Honda). My goal is not to be a burden on society by providing for myself and others.
