Today I heard some female voice thought it was the building across from use. I got a call from some one who wanted to buy a power tool I had listed on CL . I though well I'll go down and get it. Turns out the is a black women and her boy friend inside the gate , people saying they were calling the police.

Turns out the insane self absorbed girl that used to live down stairs does an air B&B. I call the land lord she knew all about it and said there is nothing she can do , can't evict even if they don't pay the rent.

The black female was drunk and pasted out right in front of the gate so I couldn't get past.

So now this just ad's to the horror we have to deal with. All I can hope is they don't stay long.

I can't believe the owner of this dump let this happen. Talk about insanity. This is about all I can take.

blues90,

Sorry to hear life is been a bitch.
All the things you mention are out of your control.
Possibility you could move, the rent you are paying now. Could be used to rent somewhere else.
But no guarantee that things will be better it's a strange world out their.
Last week my Granddaughter asked if I could give her a lift to the main town centre,
As she was going clubing with her mates, what I saw in half an hour was no different than what you are describing, but won't go into detail.

blues90, Unfortunately for your landlord, they are bound by the insane laws they have in California. Most rental buildings I know of (including mine) the landlords have the right to evict if tenants directly violate the lease or any of the laws of the province (state). They may have to wait a wee bit and make their case, but they can do it eventually.

California is one of the most left-leaning, socialist type states in the U.S. with some of the most insane laws. So, it may not be so much that your landlord doesn't care or anything, it may be more of a case that their hands are tied and can't do anything even if and when they do care.

In my province, they "try" to have a balanced approach to this. The province makes it so that it's not too easy to evict someone for just any old thing, usually takes a minimum of 3 months, often more, to evict someone and you have to make a good case for it. But on the other hand, they don't make it impossible for the landlord to evict someone either. So, both sides seem to have an equal amount of opportunity or time to make their case.

But, when violating the actual law, that trumps all and stands equal for both sides as far as consequences go. At least, that's the way it's supposed to work. Haven't actually seen any nasty cases where any of this comes into play. I try to stay away from bad areas. lol.

The most insane part of all this madness is the landlord /owner didn't have to allow this self centered Kendall the girl who rented that apt to rent it to anyone else. Even the fellow who lives across from us was amazed that this could happen rather the landlord would allow it.

When I asked the landlord if she knew because I didn't know she said she did and asked her how is that she has no control it was because of Covid she can't raise the rent or evict anyone even if they don't pay the rent.

Los Angeles is the most left leaning and it's a big area. Trouble is the Govenor has the control of the entire state.

This Kendall when she moved here seemed ok then after a while I knew she was trouble with her NY plates spelling out her name. Some times we get her mail last time was a speeding ticket in NY doing 50 in a school zone. Her car was here a week ago I didn't see her, guess she was renting to these people. I have no idea why she even moved here. Seem s like to work the system.

blues90,

Your landlady has given you the answer.
She can't evict you, even you don't pay the rent, so don't pay the rent, save all the rent money then move anywhere you want to.

I read a Michelle Malkin blog last week and she and her husband have been banned at ALL Air BnB's.... it is a corporation, California based.

Air BnB and they allege to have guide lines that have to be met... by renters and hosts... allegedly.

AirBnB is this thing where people buy (mostly) or rent (rarely, this is the more dishonest part of it) a piece of property (house, cottage, apartment, etc) for the sole purpose of renting it to others for small amounts of time like a weekend or a week or maybe a month.

It's like private people getting into the hotel game on a smaller scale and without the services of a hotel. It all started, like a lot of things these days, with an app (application, program....for smart phones).

Same thing with Uber (taxi replacement) or Jiffy (handyman or maintenance person finder) and other services out there and etc.

Whatever you can imagine these days......."there's an app for that."

Thanks for the above explanation of "air B and B".

blues90,
Sub lease your apartment and rent a U-haul. Tow your VW on the back and go move to your sister. Have her start looking for income adjusted rentals in her area.

We have "elderly housing" in our area, basically subsidized apartments for folks living on a fixed income.

Get out there. That state is gonna keep going left till it falls into the Ocean.

You're not lost. That IS what it stands for. "Air Bed and Breakfast". I think it was supposed to be the idea of "Find your Bed and Breakfast over the air waves" kinda thing when it first started years ago.

But.... what it turned into is people just trying to make quick money using any kind of property they can get their hands on as a rental. It seems to have absolutely nothing to do with actual "Bed and Breakfasts" anymore.

I'm sure there are still actual "B and Bs" listed there, but probably lost in the deep dark labyrinthine hole filled with greedy investors that is what AirBnB is now.

The city I live beside is having a huge problem with this actually. Toronto has released stats that say some sort of huge percentage (somewhere in the area of 30 to 45%) of all the condos in the main core have been bought by foreign investors and are being used as AirBnBs or "the underground hotels" as they call them.

It's causing a huge problem with real estate across our whole country actually cuz it artificially decreases the amount of real estate available for local citizens and thereby increases the demand which in turn increases the real estate prices to insanity to the point where domestic Canadians can't find or afford a place to live because it's all being gobbled up by foreign wealth. Yeeesh.

Needless to say, I'm not a fan, at all, of AirBnB or any app like it.

I would move, the main thing is my wife's foot she can barely walk on it. I'm trying to work out a solution for that. Being on the second floor doesn't help plus she can't put a shoe on and I can't carry her. I found a clinic the problem is being able to get her there. And get her cleaned up it's been a month since she could not get into the shower.

This is a nightmare. Makes me feel helpless.
