When the Rent Stops for California’s Small Landlords | Jonathan Madison
A family in Los Angeles County says it has gone two and a half years without rent from the tenants in the rear unit of its one rental property, while still paying the mortgage and utilities there. The family is now behind on the rental property’s mortgage and unsure how long it can keep paying.
In Burbank, another owner says the rent on a bungalow he leased out stopped after the first month, and that he later found short-term guests staying inside. Both accounts turn on what an owner can do while waiting to get the property back.
Property owners Jaime Vasquez and Razmik Tatos share their experiences. Jonathan Madison, a real estate attorney who represents property owners, discusses what options may remain and what these disputes could mean for renters.
