Eye-Opening Experience Leads to Refreshing Perspective on Elected Officials

Last month I had the good fortune to attend an event that revitalized my confidence and appreciation for our elected state legislators.

As many of you know, I have been an active member of the AAOC Legislative Committee, as well as the California Rental Housing Association (and its predecessors), for more than a decade. The majority of my interactions with our state legislators during this time has been in their districts and then in Sacramento during our annual Legislative Day.

So being invited to attend the Orange County Legislative Caucus monthly breakfast meeting with our lobbyist, Ron Kingston, and Rae Beam of California Strategic Advisors was truly an honor and privilege. The caucus is comprised of the state senators and assembly members who represent districts in Orange County, plus we had some of AAOC’s representatives from Riverside County also in attendance. This meeting featured a riveting pre-

sentation to the caucus by Mr. Kingston and Ms. Beam entitled, “Pending High Profile Housing Bills and Key Credit Availability Issues.”

Professionally, the most poignant takeaway from the meeting was seeing how the legislators were united in their dedication and compassion for their constituents. But, on a more personal level, I was equally—if not more so— pleased to see every one of the legislators wholeheartedly engaged, paying their undivided attention to the information being presented.

Not one of them was distracted by their cell phone, staff, other media, or personal matters.

That may sound underwhelming, lest we forget that no fewer than 2,700 bills awaited them back in their offices and committee rooms—all in the various stages of the legislative process.

Nevertheless, they remained intensely focused and asked thought-provoking questions throughout the entirety of our time together.

For this and much more, I would like to take a moment to thank Senators Tom Umberg, Josh Newman, Janet Nguyen, and Catherine Blakespear; and Assembly Members Bill Essayli, Kate Sanchez, Sharon Quirk-Silva, Diane Dixon, Cottie Petrie-Norris, Laurie Davies, and Sabrina Cervantes. Their undivided attention and unwavering support of the residents of Orange and Riverside Counties is noted and deeply appreciated.

This July, while we all enjoy our favorite fair-weather pastimes, please be sure to remain active and engaged in our industry’s political advocacy. The calls and emails to the highly dedicated officials that tirelessly represent you are heard and do in-fact make tangible differences at the highest levels.

Of this, I was recently reminded. Sincerely,

Legislature Continues to Kneecap Housing Providers

Are you ready to be instructed to help the state achieve goals for energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the apartment buildings you own or manage?

The legislature is in hyper speed to approve the following bill.

SB 48, as amended, proposes to track all renters’ private information if they reside in a building with five or more dwelling units within the building, and obligate an owner/manager of 16 or more units to report the energy usage of those units to the state Energy Commission.

AAOC is opposed to the measure because:

I. SB 48 unconstitutionally invades upon the privacy of a third-party renter.

SB 48 will conflict with Whalen v. Roe (1977) 429 U.S. 589, which is the primary Supreme Court case concerning constitutional protections for control over information and an individual’s interest in avoiding disclosure of personal matters because there is no requirement for the previous tenant(s) to provide consent.

II. SB 48 uses energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to convince the legislature the government should track personal information about renters.

a. While there is value in assessing greenhouse gas emissions based on the growing concerns of cli-

mate change, as SB 48 states, “…[l]arge buildings represent a small share of total buildings, but a much larger share of total energy usage and emissions of greenhouse gases.”

b. A large commercial or industrial building is not used in the same capacity as a large residential building and, therefore, those buildings cannot be tracked in the same manner.

c. A large residential building is equipped with hundreds of dwelling units, yet each unit only takes up a small portion of that building. Each unit’s energy is used differently depending upon the needs of those residents; and most importantly, is that information is private.

III. SB 48 unfairly and unequally treats renters of single-family homes differently than renters of multifamily homes.

a. Any building with five or more active residential utility accounts is subject to the provisions of SB 48.

b. There are approximately 2.8 multi-family units in California, which represents 23% of the State’s multi-family residential units and approximately 9.1 million residents.

c. If 45% of California’s population

rents, and there are 39 million residents, then about 17.5 million Californian’s rent their homes.

d. SB 48 would mandate more than half of California’s renters to involuntarily release private information about their households through “tracking” and “assessing”, while the other half of renters would be protected from releasing their private information.

Another bill that AAOC opposes is SB 567 (Durazo)

SB 567 proposes to unjustifiably and unreasonably punish both renters and property owners if a property owner evicts a renter for No-Fault Just Cause.

Among our reasons to OPPOSE SB 567 are:

I. SB 567 unfairly and adversely evicts renters and prohibits lawful tenancy by those who are not impacted by the need for repair or substantial remodel.

a. SB 567 forces ALL renters from ALL dwelling units to be evicted even if only some dwelling units are affected by repair or substantial remodel, regardless of the number of units on the property.

b. SB 567 does not, “…[e]nsure that renters can stay in their homes.” In fact, forcing prop-

erty owners to withdraw from the rental market, all the residential units, and unnecessarily evict renters, “… [d]estabilizes their lives, kid’s education, their safety net, and affects the community as a whole.”

c. SB 567 forces property owners to pay exurbanite relocation costs to renters who do not require relocation but are evicted by mandate.

II. SB 567 does not provide provisions for property owners who may suffer from medical emergencies and are physically and/or mentally incapable of occupying as a primary residence for 12 consecutive months, but instead determines these emergencies are a material breach.

a. SB 567 would punish a property owner with punitive legal damages and the required payment of a renter’s attorney’s fees and litigation costs related to said “material breach”.

SB 567 exposes a property owner to legal liability from a renter and the state for the same cause of action relating to said “material breach”; this could force a property owner to pay double the litigation costs.

SB 567 prevents a successor in interest, for an entire decade, from pursuing business opportunities to reintroduce residential rental units to the general public, which conflicts with the legislature’s longstanding goal to increase housing opportunities in California.

SB 567 is a guise to prevent property owners from taking possession of their own property.

Generally, residential rental property title holders include multiple property owners who are natural persons. In most

cases a residential rental property owner, who is a natural person, does not have recorded ownership of at least 51% in the property based on shear math.

b. SB 567 prohibits a property owner, who is a natural person, and has recorded ownership of less than 51% from taking occupancy via “Just Cause”.

c. Additionally, SB 567 also prohibits a property owner’s spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild, parent, or grandparent from taking occupancy via Just Cause if the natural person property owner has recorded ownership of less than 51%.

V. SB 567 would cause significant delays in repairing or substantial remodeling if a property owner is required to wait until a permit has been issued to provide Notice to renters to relocate.

a. In many instances of repair, intentional damage to a building is required to determine the magnitude of damage that needs to be repaired. Ironically, however, a permit is required to engage in this type of investigation.

b. SB 567 makes conducting repairs almost impossible because it prevents a property owner from relocating a renter in a damaged unit until a permit is issued, while simultaneously preventing a property owner from providing notice to the renter that relocation is necessary in order to complete the repairs.

The two measures are representative samples of bills that we are opposed to this year. Stay tuned.

ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE WATCH

July—Housing’s Summer Series

There’s nothing quite like a Southern California summer. Granted, the extended June Gloom was a bit much to endure, and all reports show we are headed into a significant El Nino fall. However, we have a brief respite to realize why we live in the greatest area of the country.

Living in Southern California is a definite privilege—yes, we pay a high price for the privilege. However, as we look to the summer, let’s also look at a few of the great celebrations in our communities—and where there are opportunities to share our love of SoCal summers. With a little look we can also see what is being done to provide housing and thereby expand and share these privileges with others.

City of Orange… 3rd of July Celebration

The city of Orange has a unique tradition—it’s 3rd of July community celebration and fireworks show. Held at Grijalva Park, just a stone’s throw away from Fred Kelley Stadium and El Modena High School, this annual event draws thousands of Orange residents (and others from surrounding cities) to enjoy a great kick off to the Independence Day holiday—with one of the best fireworks displays to boot… and then people make their way over to the adjacent city of Villa Park to buy their own fireworks since they are prohibited in Orange.

Orange also has another unique situation—the opportunity to redevelop The Village at Orange (formerly known as The Orange Mall) on Tustin

and Taft—right off the 55 Freeway. And there are several housing proposals that would bring new units to Orange and really invigorate a part of town that could use some life—desperately.

When you look around us—Main Place

Santa Ana has used this as a strategy to bring new residents, shoppers, and businesses to an older part of town with the new developments along the 5 Freeway. Additionally, at the last city council meeting in June, Buena Park councilmembers approved a proposal to replace the former Sears site at the Buena Park Mall with new housing.

new multifamily development is Brea. And each July 4th the city of Brea hosts it Country Fair in its downtown—with live bands, car show, contests, games, rides, food booths, exhibitors, and arts and crafts. It’s a fun mid-day event that is enjoyable for all ages.

Laguna Beach…

July 5th–September 1st Festival of Arts / July 7th–September 1st Pageant of the Masters

Pretty much all the Laguna’s have been having housing related issues— from the discussions around redevelopment at the former Laguna Hills Mall which caused consternation in the city to Laguna Niguel and Laguna Woods struggling with their Regional

Whatever happens with these projects, we are likely to see new opportunities for people to enjoy this Southern California summer with us.

Brea… July 4th Brea Country Fair

Another city with a mall (and a former Sears site) that is considering

Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocations—but Laguna Beach has had

a number of issues ranging from Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to rent control discussions, to Inclusionary Zoning mandates coupled with ballot box zoning issues.

Mesa that is almost as interesting.

A few years ago, the city of Costa Mesa passed what is called a “Ballot Box Planning” initiative, which effectively meant if you were planning to build anything in the city that was not 100% in alignment with the city’s General Plan, you had to get citywide voter approval for every variance your project would require.

Anyone who has ever developed anything can tell you how rare it is to have every component of your project

meet 100% of the General Plan. Variances are almost expected in projects.

Then, in 2022, city voters approved Measure K which opened the city to more opportunities—however, to date, there haven’t been many applications for new projects. AAOC has spoken with the city to help further identify opportunities and options, as well as to bring forward some ideas, but it highlights two key takeaways:

Watch — continued on page 12

The idyllic Orange County beach town is one that presents some of the greatest reasons why we love Southern California life so much, and also why we can’t give up on the needs of our residents. Pushing away housing and expecting other cities to pick up the slack—or attempting to impose arduous fees on housing as an attempt to dis-incentivize its development – is the exact opposite of what we should be looking to as solutions for our longterm housing needs here in California.

Costa Mesa… July 14th–August 13th Orange County Fair

Just a week after the Pageant of the Masters starts in Laguna Beach, Costa Mesa, just a few cities up the coast, celebrates the opening of the quintessential Orange County summer festival — the Orange County Fair. Costa Mesa is the home to our county fairgrounds. And, as a former Orange County Fair Beef Jerky making champion (get jealous), it holds a place near and dear to my heart.

Once you’ve recovered from the revelation that I make the best beef jerky in the county (and I have the awards to prove it), we can take another look at one of the best components of Costa

When cities implement ballot box planning, builders turn away from the city, and getting them back is a significant, uphill effort.

When cities come up with their planning efforts, they need the seek input from stakeholders like you.

planning with it. No doubt they will be able to accommodate the growth necessary, but their approach has been one of deliberate consideration—which takes time. In the meantime, they have been approving projects as they come in... Which fits with how San Clemente is addressing the Ocean Festival gap— by having the Ocean Games—a one day competition on July 15, 2023.

Huntington Beach is pushing back on those mandates.

Rather than addressing whether the city will be successful in fighting back against the state, let’s look at the impact it is having:

• Fewer applications for new projects are being filed.

• Housing costs continue to soar.

San Clemente… July 21st & 22nd—2024

San Clemente Ocean Festival

Typically, “The Greatest Show on Surf” is one of the greatest competitions for ocean/ beach-related efforts and it comes at the end of July. Unfortunately, it has been postponed for a few years, with a plan to return in 2024. And they’ve done so to make sure the program—when re-introduced—meets the expectations of the community.

Similarly, San Clemente has been struggling with its growth and how they are

Huntington Beach…

July

29th–August 6th —U.S. Open of Surfing

Is there anything more fundamental to the Southern California experience than surfing?

• Demands for services, such as public transit, continue to increase

• The public’s view of Huntington Beach’s governance is diminishing greatly.

Let’s also look at another impact…

Well, maybe—California’s predilection to going against the grain.

Huntington Beach has long been the epicenter of both. Before “Toes to the Nose” Corky Carroll was winning championships in the 1960s, Huntington Beach was the resistant beachside town that became the focus of movies, surf culture, and yes, housing.

Have you been to Garden Grove recently? The city is booming with new projects, new developments, and a city manager who is looking for opportunities to bring in new jobs, new housing, and new retail. Long gone are the days of “Garbage Grove” or Register articles about how rundown Garden Grove Blvd. and Trask Avenue look to an outsider—now there are specific plans that make it possible to bring in solutions to our problems here in Southern California.

Conclusion

However, the world has been turned upside down when it comes to housing. California has been under-building housing units for more than 20 years, leaving us millions of housing units in the hole. Rather than addressing the issues that inhibit housing development, however, or looking to new areas to build communities, the state of California has imposed the responsibility on the local government.

Southern California is great. Summer here is unmatched. But how we are managing it and ensuring its long-term viability as a region—is broken. However, we also have the solutions playing out in our communities.

Let’s take a moment.

Plan correctly.

Address the problems.

And be more deliberate in our approach.

Questions & Answers

I keep hearing about the “spread of rent control” and I know Santa Ana has it. But I recently heard it was beat in Buena Park (as well as Claremont in Los Angeles County) and then I read somewhere that both cities are passing “Just Cause.” I’m a bit confused. Can you tell me the difference between “Rent Control” and “Just Cause”?

While some cities have both “Rent Control” and “Just Cause” rolled up into a single ordinance, (e.g., the City of Los Angeles) the two are very different and govern different activities.

“Rent Control” is an ordinance enacted by a city to limit the amount a landlord may increase rent during a 12 month period. Some cities have both a floor and a maximum increase, such as a minimum of 1.5% and a maximum of 10%. Other cities cap the increase at a specific percentage of the CPI change over the prior 12 month period. For example, a city can limit a rent increase to 75% of the change in CPI. Yes, that

means ¾ of the actual “change” in CPI. So if CPI went up 1%, a landlord could only give an increase of three quarter of that 1%. Rent control ordinances are governed by a law known as CostaHawkins which sets various limits on what the ordinance may control. For example, under Costa Hawkins, a city may not apply rent control limits to buildings issued a certificate of occupancy on or after February 1, 1995.

On the other hand, “Just Cause” is a set or laws governing the reasons for which a landlord may terminate a tenancy. There are typically two categories of permissible terminations, including “at fault” and “no fault” terminations. As you might imagine, “at fault” means the tenant did something wrong, such as failing to pay their rent, allowing an unauthorized occupant to live in the unit, or engaging in some type of nuisance behavior. “No fault” terminations mean the landlord is terminating the tenancy even though the tenant did nothing wrong. For example, a landlord may want to move him or herself, a child, or grandparent into the unit, or they may want to permanently remove the unit from the rental market altogether.

It’s important to understand that while “Rent Control” ordinances may be governed and limited by Costa Hawkins, “Just Cause” ordinances are not. Therefore, you can have a property built in 2022 which may not be subject to rent control due to it being “new construction”, yet still be subject to a city’s “Just Cause” ordinance.

It’s also important to remember that the State of California also has a Rent Control/Just Cause set of laws as well. So even if the city in which your building is located does not have its own Rent Control of Just Cause ordinance, your property may still be subject to California’s Rent Control/Just Cause laws. There

I just got call from one of my residents letting me know her car broke down and it cost her $1,000 to get it back. Said she wanted to let me know so I would understand when she doesn’t have all the rent on the first. She asked if she can pay half on the first, another quarter on the 15th, and the balance on the 22nd. She’s never had any issues before, generally keeps to herself, and seems to take care of the apartment. Wish I had more tenants like her. If she is telling the truth about her car, seems like it might be an isolated situation. I don’t mind working with her, but don’t want to do the wrong thing or create any problems for myself down the road. I’m leaning toward working with her, but I’d like to know your thoughts.

Under normal circumstances, I’d never suggest letting someone pay in payments. In this case, she seems to be a good tenant and the fact that she is reaching out to you proactively about her inability to pay on the first says something good about her. A lot of tenants wouldn’t say anything, and they’d simply hide from you when you came to pick up rent. That being said, there are

several things you can do if you decide to work with her. First, you can let her know you will work with her on the condition that she increases her security deposit, (provided you don’t already have 2 months’ deposit on file). You can also let her know you intend to serve her a 3-day pay or quit for the balance each time she makes a payment, just to “remind her” that she still owes you more. You can also make sure she pays the late fee for the time and inconvenience she is causing you. And finally, make sure she understands this is a “one time exception” that won’t be repeated in the future.

Seems all of my tenants are disabled! Not that I have anything against disabled individuals, but the strangest thing is that they only become disabled after they bring a dog onto the property, and I serve them a 3-day cure covenant notice to remove the dog. Then, as you would guess, I get a note from their doctor telling me I have to pro-

vide them a “reasonable accommodation” and allow the dog to remain in the apartment. I guess I don’t really care much anymore. I just make them sign an animal addendum and I go about my business. What can I do? Unfortunately, one of my neighbors just notified me that the “emotional support” pit bull next door just growled and lunged at her 3 year old daughter. Luckily, it was behind it’s owner’s screen door, so nothing happened, (other than creating a very scared little girl and her mom). Nonetheless, now I’m a bit paranoid about the dog and I’d like to make the tenant obtain liability insurance to keep the dog. Can I do that? If not, what can I do to protect myself?

No, you cannot force a disabled tenant to purchase liability insurance in order to keep a comfort or emotional support animal. However, there is something else you can do. Specifically, you can force the tenant to remove the “specific dog” that growled and lunged at the child. While you would not be directly

responsible for any injuries that result from a dog attack, you could still face liability based on your actual knowledge of a dangerous condition, (the dog) and allowing it to remain on the property. Once you know about the dog’s “dangerous propensity”, you have to take action to remove it from the property. Toward that end, write the tenant a letter explaining that the dog has to leave or you will be forced to terminate the tenancy. While you still have a legal duty to allow the tenant to have an emotional support animal, it doesn’t have to be the one that caused the problem. Since most pets become like family members to their owners, it is likely the owner will end up moving as well, just to keep the animal.

Ever since the “tenant protections” wave rolled around, I’ve found it much more difficult to get tenants to cooperate when it

Legal Q&A — continued on page 18

Dear Maintenance Men:

I own a small apartment building with an average amount of landscaping around the property. I have a garden service that comes each week; they cut and edge and do what they’re supposed to do, I think, although they don’t spend a lot of time at the property. What should I expect from my landscapers or garden service? John

Dear John:

We have a minimum list of items that must be completed at a property. If these items are skipped or ignored, we feel the property will suffer. On a weekly basis, we expect the garden service to provide the following:

1. Cut the grass.

2. Edge the grass.

3. Pull out weeds between the sidewalk cracks, walk around the building, including the alley.

4. Turn over the dirt in all the flowerbeds each week.

5. Pick up any trash around the property.

6. Broom, blow, or hose down the walkways.

7. Turn on the sprinkler lines, check for clogged heads, broken lines, etc.

8. Check that the irrigation timer is set properly.

9. Cut, trim, and thin any shrubs or bushes.

10. Maintain communication with the owner about problems or improvements.

The above list takes time, half an hour minimum at a small property. If your landscape gardener completed the list on a weekly basis, you could very well have the best-looking property on the block! This means higher rents, and if you add color flowers, even higher rents!

Finding a landscape gardener to do above list consistently is not easy. Ask your local apartment association for recommendations or look in your neighborhood or city for a property with outstanding landscaping and ask who the gardener is. Have him give you a quote according to your “list.” Keep in mind, a landscape company or gardener who gives the above service will charge more than a “blow and go” gardener. However, your property will reflect their above average service.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I have an opportunity to buy a small power snake for cleaning out kitchen & bathroom drains. At the rate my tenants block their drains, it should pay for itself in no time. Is this a good idea? Dale

Dear Dale:

We understand that almost any excuse is a good one to buy a power tool, but most bathroom and kitchen drains can be cleared with a three-foot hand snake. The tub or shower will typically have a hair stoppage just past the tub shoe and the bathroom sink will have a toothpaste and hair stoppage in the trap before the wall. The kitchen sink will typically be stopped on the garbage disposal side because of improper usage of the disposal. If both sides of the kitchen sink are blocked, then it may be necessary to use the power snake.

Power snakes can be very dangerous. Most operate with a ¼ to ½ horse motor, which packs quite a punch, especially if your finger or arm gets caught! If you buy this snake, we highly recommend that you get some training on your machine. Power drain cleaning is very much an “art” when done well.

Knowing when you hit the stoppage and when the snake is snagged comes with experience. A broken snake cable in your drain system will be far more expensive than simply calling an experienced plumber when needed. Another thought is most kitchen stoppages are

caused by grease. Your snake will only temporarily clear the stoppage. Getting a company to “Hydro-Jet” your drains every year may help cure your chronic grease stoppages.

Dear Maintenance Men:

How do I get a fiberglass tub clean without scratching the surface? John

Dear John:

The nice thing about fiberglass tubs and showers is that no matter how dirty they get, they are fairly easy to clean up. Be careful not to use any abrasives on the fiberglass, such as scouring pads, steel wool, or gritty cleaning solutions. “Soft Scrub” may be used sparingly on soap scum buildup. “Lime-Away” may be used for hard water mineral deposits but read the directions and look for the fiberglass warning or approval statement. If you have very tough stains, moisten a cloth with clean Acetone solvent or nail polish remover. Do not let the Acetone pool as it may soften the fiberglass material. Acetone and many other cleaners have very strong vapors, so it is important to ventilate the area properly. After all the cleaning is done, the fiberglass surface may be dull. Use a fiberglass conditioner and glossing paste to bring the tub or shower back to its original condition. You can use a product called “Gel Gloss” to bring back the shine.

comes to letting me in to provide maintenance or make repairs, even after it was them who complained about a problem in the first place! I usually get some email telling me I can’t come in because they “won’t be there” or something along those lines. I’m dealing with that right now. A woman who complained that the kitchen sink is leaking now refuses to let me in when my maintenance guy can get there, or she tells my guy she can let him in at some date and time in the future, then changes her tune when he gets there. The other day I told her I’m tired of the run around and that I am coming in with the handyman. As you can imagine, that didn’t go over so well. She immediately told me about “the law” and that she “knows her rights” and will call the police if I try to go in! Can she do that? Can she dictate whether and when I get in to make repairs? What do I do?

I wonder whether your tenant got her law degree at YouTube University. The

bottom line is that she is mistaken and you are, in fact, permitted to access the unit. California law provides that residents must allow access to you and your vendors upon service of at least a twenty-four hour notice. Her refusal to let you in is a violation of California law, and very likely a violation of her rental agreement. I suggest that is you don’t take the bull by the horns and politely “educate” her about your rights and her obligations, this will only get worse. Here’s an approach I’ve found that works well for me; serve her a 24 hour notice with three business days in a row listed on it as the days on which you will be entering. Simultaneously, serve a 3-Day Notice To Perform Covenant directing her to comply with California law and the rental agreement by allowing access to you and your handyman in line with the same three days on the 24 hour notice. I imagine you will get a call or email from her right away, threatening you with a lawsuit of some sort. Let her

know that provided he allows access as scheduled, you will rescind the 3-day notice of termination. On the other hand, if she wants to continue being a pain in the rump and refusing access, you will simply file an action for unlawful detainer. I bet you will get access relatively quickly.

Quake Safety: Retrofit, Insurance, Or Both?

Insurance carriers track the pulse of California’s earthquake liabilities, just as they monitor trends in fire, flood, hurricanes, and other hazards that cause claims to be filed for property damage, injury or death.

Warnings from seismologists that California is long overdue for a major earthquake has property owners and insurance actuaries concerned. As risks go up, so does the cost for insurance to cover those risks.

There are approximately 15 competitive insurance carriers in California, but when it comes to older buildings, that number dips sharply, particularly for buildings with five or more units under one roof.

“The insurance market is getting squeezed,” noted Matt Fuller, president of Fuller Insurance Company., in an earlier interview. “Carriers are becoming more discriminating than ever these days. They’re looking for upgrades on older buildings, including retrofits. When the upgrades aren’t done, a growing number will either increase premiums, modify coverage or decide not to

insure the building at all.”

On the other hand, carriers have also started encouraging or requiring retrofits and upgrades. While these safety improvements might be expected to reduce insurance rates for pre-1978 soft story structures that undergo an earthquake retrofit, they just as likely to simply make the buildings eligible for coverage.

Insurance, retrofit, or both?

Some apartment owners struggle over whether to purchase earthquake insurance, if they can find it, do a seismic retrofit, or both. Tragically, too many go with a fourth option. They take a do nothing approach, essentially going bare, which puts their property, their assets, income and their tenants at extreme risk.

The California Department of Insurance offers the following guidelines to anyone considering earthquake insurance.

• Is your building located where earthquakes are common?

• Do you own a high-risk structure?

• Can you afford pay your full recovery costs if you do not have earthquake insurance?

Risk of liability for loss of life or limb is another important consideration.

Decades of scientific research have been done on quantifying building performance in extreme events. Credible models of risk have been developed and are used today by insurers o price

hazard insurance.

Insurance may cover a portion of your earthquake losses, but it does nothing to protect your asset, your income or your tenants. If one them gets injured or killed, you could be liable for millions of dollars in damages for negligence for maintaining a hazardous condition.

Are retrofits more cost-effective?

Apart from the high premiums associated with earthquake insurance, the deductible for most policies is around 20% of the cost to replace the building.

A retrofit, on the other hand, is much cheaper—usually only 0.3% of the replacement cost of the building.

That means retrofits cost considerably less than what an apartment owner would spend on the deductible for his or her earthquake insurance.

Retrofits also add value to a property—much like a new roof or upgraded plumbing.

Tenants appreciate living in structures that have been retrofitted for their safety, giving a property an added edge in a competitive market.

Inflation Slams California’s Rental Market. How To Fight Back.

Rent control policies have long been a topic of debate, with proponents arguing for tenant protection and affordable housing, while opponents claim rent control has the opposite effect. In California, where the housing crisis is particularly severe, statewide rent control limits rent increases to 5% + CPI, with a max of a 10% annual increase. Let’s put aside the idea that government shouldn’t be usurping business owner’s rights by setting rates and limiting profitability. Most property owners would say that a 10% max increase is very reasonable, especially given that in most years the market has naturally limited housing providers to about 3–5%. However, the combination of inflation on goods and services, and escalating utility bills, has made it increasingly challenging for property owners to maintain profitability, let alone have funds to reinvest in property improvement.

Why Would Anyone Want to Raise the Rent More than 10%?

When inflation was between 2–3% per year, a 10% rent cap seemed tolerable. In addition to having to pay my gardeners, contractors, tradesmen, and even material costs 15–40% more than in 2022, I just received a notice from the Sanitary District letting me know that my sanitation bill will be going UP 17%! The increase in utility costs is not isolated but rather indicative of a broader inflationary trend. Rising prices in the energy sector often rever-

berate throughout the economy, affecting the cost of goods and services across sectors. As utility expenses rise, so do all costs associated with maintaining a property, and let’s not even get started on the skyrocketing cost of property insurance. Although the government is regulating what I can charge, they are not playing by the same rules or absorbing any of the risk.

Local Rent Control Can Be Even More Restrictive

Rent control laws in California vary by city, with each city council having the ability to set their own regulations. These laws typically limit the amount housing providers can increase rents on existing tenants—sometimes 3% or

lower, and often require just cause for eviction. While these policies aim to provide stability and affordable housing, they usually have unintended consequences for both tenants and property owners. Owners can’t afford to stay in business, so the properties are sold for redevelopment, or left derelict due to lack of funds to reinvest or removed from the rental market—exacerbating the existing housing crisis.

Some cities that have more restrictive rent control laws, such as Santa Ana, have a process where an owner can contest the low rent cap if they can prove that it has a detrimental financial impact on the owner. Given the steep

Inflation — continued on page 24

rise in inflation, it seems that every property owner would have an easy time proving this.

Impact on Investors

For rental property owners, the combination of rent control, inflation, and rising utility costs can result in a challenging financial landscape. The inability to adjust rental prices to match increasing expenses can lead to diminishing profits or even losses and financial ruin, forcing property owners to sell their apartments when they had intended to keep the investment properties forever and pass them along to their heirs.

Effects on Tenants

While rent control aims to protect tenants from excessive rent increases, it can actually diminish the supply of housing and compel owners to be even more selective about the creditworthi-

ness of rental applicants. As property owners face financial pressures, they have less incentive to invest in property improvements or maintenance, leading to a decline in housing quality. Additionally, limited rental supply due to mom-and-pop owners exiting the market often results in corporate private equity giants purchasing apartments for redevelopment. They have the financial resources to make the kinds of broad sweeping changes that eliminate affordable rental housing altogether. In San Diego, Blackstone recently bought a portfolio of 66 lowrent apartment buildings and tenants who haven’t had their rent increased in years, are nervous about what changes this may bring. I am seeing an increase in the number of owners who want to cash out, now, before the inflation-torent price equation gets even more unbalanced.

Conclusion

Rent control in California has been

a topic of contention, with concerns about its impact on housing provider’s profitability. The combination of inflation and rising utility costs places additional financial strain on a property owner operating under rent control regulations. More fundamentally it’s the government stepping in to take control of a business, without assuming any of the risk, which infringes on everything that the free market stands for. Your vote counts, so vote for candidates who oppose rent control, and exit cities with tough rent control ordinances so that your tax dollars aren’t supporting them.

Californians Should Be Skeptical of Creating a ‘Right to Housing’ in the State Constitution

California voters may soon have to decide whether to enshrine a “right to housing” in the state constitution.

Assembly Constitutional Amendment 10 provides, in its entirety:

“The state hereby recognizes the fundamental human right to adequate housing for everyone in California. It is the shared obligation of state and local jurisdictions to respect, protect, and fulfill this right, on a non-discrimina-

tory and equitable basis, with a view to progressively achieve the full realization of the right, by all appropriate means, including the adoption and amendment of legislative measures, to the maximum of available resources.”

If you’re wondering what this proposed constitutional right would actually accomplish, you’re not alone. Previous “right to housing” proposals have either failed to pass or been vetoed by Governor Newsom for lack of specificity.

BY JON COUPAL

At its most superficial level, if the law merely states that everyone should have a roof over their head, there’s little debate over that self-evident proposition. But the real question is whether this somehow creates an enforceable obligation for government to provide housing to all who want it. In other words, would this amendment create a “private right of action,” a question

Right to Housing — continued on page 28

which lawyers frequently confront when interpreting statutes or constitutional amendments.

The short analysis of ACA 10 prepared by the Legislative Counsel merely observes that “the California Constitution [already] enumerates various personal rights, including the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.” But is this “right to

housing” the same as the historical rights with which we are so familiar?

More fundamentally, what is a “right?”

Americans are most likely to be familiar with the Bill of Rights, comprised of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. Even a cursory reading of these amendments reveals that they are specific prohibitions on governmental power. For example, the First Amendment prohibits Congress from making laws establishing religion or abridging freedom of speech. The Second Amendment pro-

hibits Congress from abridging the right to bear arms, and the Fourth Amendment safeguards citizens’ right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion in their homes through the requirement of a warrant.

Thus, the Bill of Rights reflects the fundamental nature of true rights which are limitations on government.

What is not included in our historical understanding of “rights” are “rights” to goods or services provided by others. For example, progressives like to claim that everyone has a “right” to health care. But this would necessarily entail that some other person either pay for the medical services—through taxes— or be required to provide the service without payment.

Let’s be clear here. By suggesting we should hesitate to declare a “right” to health care or, for that matter, to housing, does not mean that, in a wellordered civil society, we shouldn’t provide an adequate safety net to those less fortunate. California can create the most robust welfare state imaginable— if it hasn’t already—without declaring all the benefit therefrom as “rights.”

The danger in creating a society where everything is a “right” is that it becomes difficult if not impossible to know when to stop.

For guidance, perhaps we should return to First Principles—the rights as understood by the Founders of the Republic. That is, that true “rights,” also known as natural rights, are prohibitions against government interference in our lives so that we may live as freely as possible in our pursuit of happiness.

If rights include those things that can only be paid for by the forced redistribution of wealth by our government, doesn’t that necessarily violate the rights of those whose property is taken?

California needs to tread carefully in declaring rights to public services. Taken to its logical conclusion, we’ll be left with no rights at all.

By Supporting Renters, Landlords Struggle: Can The Burden Be Lifted?

At the heart of the American dream is the core belief that there is the ability to improve one’s lot, for oneself and one’s children. Acting upon that dream, ordinary citizens saved their pennies and took a leap of faith to invest in what always seemed to be the “sure thing”—property. Owning a rental property could provide a buffer to working income, a nest egg for retirement or a college fund to realize the dream for a child’s future. Becoming a landlord carried with it a sense of self-determination and independence.

The average landlord is someone like your mom, dad, uncle, friend—people trying to make a living and save for the future. There are large investment firms and real estate corporations with vast rental holdings, to be sure. But, according to a report from the Pew Research Center, “72.5% of single-unit rental properties are owned by individuals.” For many, managing rental properties is their business, and like other small business owners, they’re suffering from the crushing effects of the pandemic.

Are relief measures lifting the burden?

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of March 2020 provided $2 trillion in aid and tax relief benefits, forbearance on federally backed mortgages and foreclosure moratoriums. State and local governments received $150 billion to use toward relief measures. Additionally, a temporary eviction moratorium was

initiated to prevent a swell of evicted citizens into homelessness or compacted living situations. What was supposed to be a 120-day suspension evolved into multiple extensions, which recently ended nationwide.

The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan earmarked $25 billion for rental assistance and $5 billion for utilities while extending the eviction moratorium to September 2021. The almost $50 billion collectively for rent relief is to be disbursed by state and local governments, yet only a little more than $3 billion had been distributed as of July 2021.

An imbalance in support

There has been a disproportionate burden placed upon “mom and pop” property owners in what seems an impossible situation. Unlike those entitled to unemployment or protected by a moratorium, over 10 million individual landlords are still responsible for their property expenses. These costs include taxes, insurance, mortgages, utilities, homeowners’ association fees and maintenance.

It’s likely many don’t have the cash reserves, especially after 18 months of not collecting rent, nor enough equity to qualify for a loan. For some property investors, the only option has been to sell to private equity firms. The alternatives would be foreclosure and bankruptcy, tarnishing their record for any future loan or property acquisitions.

We’ve rallied behind small businesses and understood the gravity of the situation many renters are in. Retail

and dining establishments are open to consumers, stadiums are filled with fans, outdoor gatherings exceed earlier restrictions and airlines are filling planes. Individual property owners, however, have been silently struggling to stay afloat and are in need of support to drive forward.

Are there solutions to this crisis?

According to the National Apartment Association, the over $46 billion in federal government aid for rent relief, being disbursed at glacial speed, won’t cover the losses. The organization is suing the federal government for an additional $26 billion for direct landlord relief. According to Bob Pinnegar, CEO of the National Apartment Association, “Each passing month further escalates the risk of losing an everincreasing amount of rental housing, ultimately jeopardizing the availability of safe, sustainable and affordable housing for all Americans.”

It’s been suggested that many individual landlords with smaller holdings will likely need to sell their property to cover their losses. A decrease in affordable housing will impact low-income renters, especially those who are Black and Hispanic as they are more likely to rent

The backlog of evictions will likely take a long time to process. Unfortunately, some tenants are not willing to communicate with their landlords or apply for aid, even if the property owners are will-

Data for the Marketplace

Apartment Sales Stuck in Mud Alternatives to Outright Sales

Not much oxygen in the real estate marketplace these days.

As the adjacent chart reveals, a paltry 29 Orange County 5-unit+ properties closed escrow in the first quarter of the year, down sharply from 56 transactions in Q1 2022 and 61 in Q1 2021.

And it’s not just Orange Country. Nationwide, sales of apartment buildings were halved from Q1 2022 (4,396) to Q1 2023 (2,139).

Obviously, the spike in interest rates has deeply impacted. Buyers are holding their noses at the 6–6.5% interest rates currently offered for most five-to-ten year fixed rate multifamily loans; those 3.5% rates we’d come to know and love are long gone now (sigh).

Higher borrowing costs exert downward pressure on property values— you’ll note on the opposite page that the nationwide data for apartments shows GRM’s, price per SF and price per unit all down from a year ago and the average cap rate up (a higher cap rate reflects a falling value for apartment cash flow).

However, steeply elevated interest rates thus far have not translated to price declines on sales of Orange County multifamily property—the cap rate on OC apartments has actually fallen from a year ago. Resistance to lower pricing may be rooted in a conviction among sellers that the county merits premium pricing due to its powerhouse diversified economy that generates robust employment, its high-quality overall

infrastructure, an affluent citizen base and the clincher, consistently exceptional weather.

Within this boggy, price-agreement challenged market, there are nevertheless OC rental housing owners that desire to sell, but for most, they wish to do so only if capital gains taxes can be deferred.

There are multiple ways to accomplish the tax deferral aspect. Most know about the 1031 tax deferred exchange, where one sells an investment property and then transfers proceeds into one or more “upleg” properties identified within 45 days and closed within 180 days from close of the relinquished property.

Discussed below are two alternative tax deferred transfers with special appeal to owners ready to wave goodbye to property management responsibilities.

Delaware Statutory Trust

The first of these is the Delaware Statutory Trust (DST). This involves selling one’s investment property and using the proceeds to exchange into a fractional share of a DST that acquires a large, “institutional” type property (e.g. a 300-unit apartment); this qualifies under section 1031 as a tax deferred exchange as long as timing and all other standard 1031 requirements are met.

Kelly Clyde, a principal in the San Clemente based investment firm South Coast Advisors, which markets DST’s, breaks down benefits as follows: (1) convenience in finding one’s 1031 upleg

investment—there are generally several available DST’s to select from at any given time; (2) regular cash distributions from the underlying property’s cash flow; (3) no management responsibilities; (4) no personal liability on mortgage debt; (5) pass through depreciation to the investor; and (6) when the DST property is eventually sold (typically 4–7 years after original acquisition) the investor’s share of proceeds can be reinvested via another 1031 tax deferred exchange.

According to Clyde, proforma’s on new DST’s generally project annual returns in the 3.5%–4.5% range.

IRC Section 721 Exchanges

Fundamentally different from 1031 exchanges, a 721 transaction does not involve selling one’s property. Rather, the owner contributes a property to a limited partnership that holds other investment properties contributed by other section 721 exchange investors, all of whom become limited partners with an ownership percentage proportionate to their contributed equity; the equity dollar value is mutually agreed to by the partnership manager and the equity contributor at the outset.

Irvine based Advanced Real Estate (Advanced), a longtime AAOC member with a portfolio of 12,000+ southern California apartment units under management, recently established its “X

Fund” to accommodate such section 721 Exchanges.

Paul Julian, a principal in Advanced, summarized why X Fund is expected to attract a sector of multifamily owners:

(1) elimination of management duties;

(2) quarterly distributions of cash flow —X fund is currently projecting a 4% annual return; (3) capital gains tax deferral; (4) No need to sell property or go through escrow (5) no loan liability —any debt on the contributed property is immediately assumed, replaced or or paid off by Advanced; (6) pass through of depreciation benefits; and (7) Advanced will complete renovations on partnership properties over a two-tothree year period to reposition the entire portfolio for future exchange into “larger and more efficient apartment communities” to optimize limited partner returns.

When interest rates eventually ease, sluggish markets will regain traction. Be patient, it may take time.

ing to work with them. In other cases, evicted tenants may change bank accounts, ignore collections or declare bankruptcy.

As a landlord, however, you can choose to take back some control over your current dilemma. Here are some “take charge” measures for financial assistance and loss remediation you can act upon today:

• If you’re a non-mortgaged property owner, negotiate a short-term delay or altered payment schedule with your local tax agency.

• Apply for rental assistance from the Emergency Rental Assistance Program in your state. You must do this before attempting any eviction action, and you must provide the court with proof that the application was denied or the tenant failed to participate before an eviction summons will be issued.

• Communicate regularly with your

tenants. Offer direct assistance to help them with relief fund applications, negotiate partial payments and payback plans. Foster that personal relationship.

• Remember to follow the law if you choose the eviction process. You cannot lock tenants out, nor turn off utilities, which could lead to criminal charges and fines.

Rental property owners have been at the mercy of a prohibition that could have long-term ramifications for the future of the entire rental market. We need to rally behind them, too.

Repipe Specialists

With over 30 plus years in the repiping industry, Repipe Specialists is the only company In California that specializes in multi-family pipe replacement. Our proprietary One Stop Repipe® process is a codified and well-tested system for multi-family projects. With this proprietary process, it is our experience over many years of doing a large volume of repipes that when you have an actual system where we control all aspects of the repipe and repair, and oversee the entire process with quality supervision, we end up with a smooth project and consistently happy owners and tenants.

The point of quality control is one that we address with a multi-faceted approach. First, and probably the highest assurance of quality and timely work is that all our local crews are experienced repiping specialists

with, in most cases, over a decade of experience specializing in residential repiping. Second, all of our jobs have an experienced multi-family supervisor and fulltime onsite project manager overseeing the job. Our One Stop Repipe® process provides experience in large multi-family projects, fast completion, unparalleled unit protection, and on-site supervision. Repipe Specialists offers a free consultation to address any pipe-related issues your property may be having. We look forward to hearing from you and assisting in any way we can.

For more information or to schedule a consultation, contact Dan Johnston, Director of Multi-Family, at Daniel.johnston@repipespecialists.com.
