O

ur industry is facing critical battles on many fronts both locally and in Sacramento. While we cannot afford to let rent control pass in National City or elsewhere in San Diego County, we must focus efforts on three critical bills that are swiftly moving towards the Senate and Assembly floors.

Additionally, AB 2343 (Chiu) amends the unlawful detainer procedure and extends the timeline of all notices and responses. Effectively, it will push the rent due date two weeks later, and you will be forced to take the financial hit of a late rent payment.

However, your mortgage for the property will still be due on time.

Current efforts are focusing on defeating three bills: AB 2925 (Bonta), AB 1870 (Reyes) and AB 2343 (Chiu).

Each bill is a highly specific attack on personal property rights, but together become a decimating attack on the rental housing industry. With the combined threats of the repeal of Costa-Hawkins (Weinstein Housing Freeze) and local rent control measures looming, these bills will be the final nails in the coffin for California’s rental housing industry.

Furthermore, we believe the passage of AB 1870 (Reyes) is a solution in search of a problem, at least as it pertains to housing discrimination claims. This bill aims to extend the amount of time someone has to report an incident from one year to three years.

The author and bill sponsors are specifically seeking to address workplace harassment and discrimination, especially among low wage workers. We are worried that this bill, which seems to have good intentions, will lead to frivolous housing discrimination claims that can’t be proven or disproven due to a lack of witnesses years later.

Finding good tenants who pay the rent on time and care for your property is one of the most difficult challenges of being a landlord. Background screenings and credit checks only give you so much information, and there are countless stories of horrible tenants who passed all screenings with flying colors.

No landlord welcomes an eviction—they can be costly and time-consuming, but often must do so to protect their investment. AB 2925 (Bonta) is a bill that would introduce a blanket “Just Cause Eviction” policy across the state. If this gets signed into law, landlords will be required to provide a specific reason for evicting a tenant, but those reasons cannot include a change in ownership, foreclosure of the property or even the end of a fixed-term lease.

Take a minute to digest that fact—this law will force you to renew or extend the lease of every tenant, even if they are a nuisance.

Every day the SDCAA strives to be the voice of the rental housing industry by advocating for the rights and protections of our members. Join us as we raise our voices in opposition to the proposed legislation that will decimate your rights as a property owner.

Take the time to contact your representative and share your opposition to these proposed laws. Share your story with your elected official and show them how detrimental these laws will be to your future.

While we encourage you to contact your elected officials to voice your opposition, we also need you to support our greater efforts by donating to our Industry Defense Fund.

Make no mistake about it; we are under attack. It will take our full scope of resources to protect our industry. Now is the time to join together and make our voices heard.

Thoroughly screening your incoming residents can help you avoid the costs of evictions from residents who stop paying their rent.

Remember, you must apply the same criteria to each applicant and you need to screen applicants in the order received to comply with fair housing laws.

Invest in Your Property Investing in the right materials and preventative maintenance between tenants can reduce the cost of your repairs in the long run. Consider using durable paint. Avoid flat paint. Instead, use eggshell or semi-gloss paint, which is more durable and can be cleaned or touched up, saving you the cost of a full paint job.

Also consider replacing carpet with tile, hardwood or laminate flooring. Remember, carpeting has a lifespan of only four years in the eyes of the courts.

Make sure you take care of your preventative and deferred maintenance in between residents as this can reduce your expenses later. For example, replacing older pipes now could prevent a leak from occurring at an inopportune time.

Deposit Smarts Find out what you can and cannot legally deduct from the deposit and return it on time. You can't charge back everything to a resident, so take the time to learn what is legal to deduct. Also, be sure to return a record of the resident’s deposit deductions, receipts and any money due promptly. If they take you to court, you could owe them 2 or 3 times their deposit amount.

Remember, the cheapest turnover is one that doesn’t occur! Look for ways to keep good residents happy, because the easiest way to reduce turnover expenses is to reduce resident turnover.

LEGISLATIVEUPDATE

Rent Control Update

The SDCAA is preparing multiple strategies to defeat a proposed rent control ballot measure in National City, and possibly similar measures in other cities in the San Diego Region.

Last February, the Alliance of Californians and Community Empowerment (ACCE) filed paperwork to place a rent control initiative on the city’s November ballot. On May 18, ACCE submitted more than 3,500 signatures for verification to place the proposed measure on National City’s ballot this November. If approved by city voters, the measure would a create rent control ordinance with a Just Cause provision in National City. The SDCAA is preparing to challenge and defeat the proposed measure if it appears on the city’s ballot. The SDCAA will be holding its 4th Legislative Forum on Rent Control in National City sometime in June; look for an announcement in SDCAA communications.

The SDCAA is also preparing a regional strategy and monitoring other rent control discussions other

cities such as the City of the San Diego. San Diego Tenants’ United at an April 18 San Diego City Council Smart Growth and Land Use (SG&LU) Committee hearing presented a petition asking the SG&LU committee to recommend to the full City Council that it adopt an emergency rent control ordinance with a strengthened Just Cause provision. Although the Council Committee took no action or addressed rent control during the hearing, rent control advocates are likely to step up political pressure to have the city council consider a rent control ordinance in the future.

The SDCAA asks all members to sign up to receive legislative alerts, Calls-to-Action, and electronic newsletters by visiting the SDCAA webpage at www.sdcaa.com. SDCAA members that have rent controlled units in other cities are strongly encouraged to contact the SDCAA – we want to hear from you. Members are also asked to contact the SDCAA at (858) 278-8070 if they learn about proposed rent control measures in their community. The SDCAA will be providing more updates in the future.

Encinitas given reprieve on housing plan, but warned it better do something soon

In late April, a San Diego Superior Court listened to opening arguments on two separate lawsuits filed against the City of Encinitas for not updating its housing element. The individual lawsuits were filed by the Building Industry Association of San Diego (BIASD) and by San Diego Tenants’ United.

BIASD filed suit against Encinitas for not adding enough proposed housing to its Housing Element, and SD Tenants’ United filed its lawsuit Encinitas for failing to provide enough affordable housing units to residents. The lawsuits were intended to force Encinitas to comply immediately with state law and accept the

proposed housing element detailed in Measure T - City voters defeated the measure in November 2016. There was a third lawsuit filed by a developer, but that lawsuit was later settled out of court.

After listening to the cases’ opening arguments, Judge Ronald Frazier decided to postpone the hearing until November 13 to allow Encinitas the opportunity to have city voters weigh in to vote on the proposed housing element.

However, Judge Frazier ordered Encinitas to attend a hearing in August to provide proof that it is moving ahead with its housing element and that it has been added to the November ballot.

The judge cautioned the city may consider the lawsuits if voters do not adopt the housing element.

If voters fail to approve the

city’s Housing Element update in November, the Court will rule on the lawsuits within 30 days.

Since Encinitas voters rejected Measure T in November 2016, the city has been scrambling to produce another housing element update that voters can support while complying with state law.

Beginning in January 2017, the city created a housing element task force in charge of creating the update, but the process of developing a housing element has been subject to controversy.

Prior to the court hearing, the Encinitas City Council voted to exclude a city-owned property from the element. The property originally was included in the housing update to be a proposed site for affordable housing. The council voted to include the

cycle during the next cycle.

Encinitas remains the only city in San Diego County without an Updated Housing Element. City law requires voter approval of all city housing elements that include zoning changes. Encinitas is required to plan for at least 1,000 homes during the current housing element cycle. The city will soon need to begin planning for the next Housing Element cycle which begins in 2021. California’s Housing and Community Development Department met with SANDAG Board of Directors in March to inform city and county officials that all cities and the county will need to permit about double the houses required in this

San Diego significantly reduces fees for Accessory Dwelling Units

The city’s next step will be to approve pre-designed architectural plans to hasten approvals of ADUs applications.

The San Diego City Council, in effort to encourage more city property owners to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and increase the city’s housing supply, on May 1 approved significant reductions in fees to stimulate more ADU construction.

Beginning January 2017, a new state law took effect reducing regulations making it easier and less expensive for property owners to build Accessory Dwelling Units on their properties. Last fall, the

San Diego City Council’s Smart Growth and Land Use Committee approved an ordinance that would exempt ADU’s from paying a list of fees like Development Impact and Facilities Benefits fees, and sewer and water connection fees. But, the proposed changes still haven’t been considered by the full city council. In spite of the new state law, few San Diego property owners were building ADUs. Data on ADU construction collected around the state showed that only 64 applications for ADU construction permits were filed in San Diego since November 2017. Meanwhile, 1,980 and 537 applications were processed in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Existing construction fees associated with ADUs were identified as a serious impediment deterring many property owners from building ADUs on their property. Prior to the council’s decision, the combined cost of fees for ADUs ranged between $30,000 to $49,000 per unit depending on its location. The council’s action reduced the cost of those fees by as much as 50 percent. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer also asked the City’s Public Utilities Department to set aside $100,000 to cover the cost of water and sewer fees for this year.

San Diego officials hopes the fee reduction will encourage the construction of an additional 2,000 to 6,000 ADUs over the next ten years. San Diego officials see ADUs as the easiest and least expensive option to provide more affordable housing. The SDCAA has been supportive of policies that increase the supply of housing in the San Diego.

California

CAPITOL NEWS W

Aaron Read & Associates

ith house of origin deadlines rapidly approaching, the California Legislature has been meeting non-stop to dispense with bills introduced in the 2018 legislative year. We have been attending committee hearings in an attempt to support and oppose bills important to SDCAA. The bills we oppose that we could not kill in committee will be vigorously opposed on the Senate and Assembly Floors in an attempt to halt their progress.

It has been, and will continue to be a very busy year in the Capitol for SDCAA and it will not stop once the legislative year ends at the end of August. There are a number of local and statewide measures that SDCAA will be working on to defeat this election cycle. We look forward to working on them with you.

SDCAA Priority Bills AB 2343 (Chiu): would lengthen the eviction process, endanger

renters who complain about their neighbors and allow tenants to avoid eviction by making frivolous complaints. Under the bill landlords would have to provide the following: • The bill requires a 10 days’ notice before serving eviction papers to tenants who’ve failed to pay the rent. At any time during this 10-day period, the tenant could pay the rent to prevent eviction.

Currently, the notice requirement is 3 days. This essentially pushes the rent due date to the middle of the month • If a tenant commits a serious lease violation, unlawful-detainer actions go from 3 to 10 days and if the tenant has created a nuisance or otherwise engaged in illegal activity, the notice period would be extended from 3 to 5 days.

• Gives tenants more time to respond to an eviction. Instead of the current 5 days to respond, the bill provides tenants with 14 days.

• The bill would create a new requirement for the landlord to file with the court proof that the tenant was served with the

eviction complaint at least 10 days before a landlord could request a judgment against a tenant who fails to respond.

If you add-up the additional time granted tenants in the bill, approximately one month will be added to the eviction process. In San Diego, where you have one courtroom that hears all Unlawful Detainer cases in the county, the backlog this bill creates will be insurmountable.

SDCAA actively opposed the bill in policy and fiscal committees in the Assembly. The bill was placed on the Assembly Appropriations suspense file and will be heard at the end of May. Should the bill make it to the Assembly Floor we will actively oppose it and will be calling on SDCAA members to assist in the effort.

AB 2925 (Bonta): The San Diego County Apartment Association is opposed to AB 2925 which would apply “just cause” eviction law statewide.

June 2018 RentalOwner | 15

AB 2925 would require all rental property owners statewide to state and prove in court a “cause” when terminating a tenancy.

It also prohibits a new owner from moving into his or her own property. It would require every city and county in the state to abide by this new mandate, even those that have expressly rejected it. By doing so, it will lead to endless litigation and delay, and put good tenants in danger by making it extremely difficult to remove bad tenants engaged in illegal activity.

Strong Tenant Protections Already in Place – Current state law has strong protections in place to protect tenants from retaliatory or discriminatory evictions.

Failure to abide by these laws carry with it significant penalties,

including actual damages, injunctive relief, and punitive damages.

Endless Litigation and Delay - AB 2925 would require a property owner to provide a “cause” when terminating ANY tenancy, and would require the owner to prove and demonstrate that the “cause” was legitimate. AB 2925 offers no explanation to owners or to courts as to what constitutes a legitimate “cause”.

This bill provides a very easy roadmap to delay for months or stop altogether all evictions. The very point of this bill is to allow and encourage a tenant to challenge in court any cause stated by the owner.

Pat Moran

Prevents New Owners from Moving In – AB 2925 specifically prohibits any eviction associated with a change in ownership. As a result, a new home buyer with existing tenants will never be able move that tenant out in order to live in the unit.

Prohibits the Ellis Act – AB 2925 would effectively prevent the use of the state Ellis Act by small property owners who want to exit the rental business or move into their own homes. By prohibiting an eviction based on an actual or “anticipated” change in ownership, a new property owner is prohibited from using the Ellis Act to move in to their own property. Every attempt to change the Ellis Act in the last 5 years has been rejected by the Legislature.

Difficult to Remove Dangerous Tenants – By requiring an owner to list a “cause,” and prove it in court, AB 2925 makes it incredibly difficult to remove dangerous tenants involved in illegal and

gang activity. In these types of situations, property owners must rely on third party witnesses, who are often too scared to testify against the dangerous individual.

We have asked the Legislature to please refrain from considering punitive measures and explore other solutions that do not punish small business owners and jeopardize neighborhood safety.

Just Cause Eviction ordinances creates many unintended consequences, one of which is an unhealthy, uncomfortable, or even dangerous living environment for neighboring tenants who report a nuisance to the property owner.

As of the time of writing this, the bill is on the Assembly Floor where SDCAA and others are trying to halt its progress.

AB 2364 (Bloom): Makes a number of revisions and changes to the Ellis Act, the state law that allows landlords of rent-controlled properties to exit the rental market by evicting the tenants, if certain procedures are followed.

• Provides that if the property is offered again for rent within five years (increased from two years) of the date the property was withdrawn from rent or lease, then certain provisions govern.

Among the applicable provisions changed by this bill are that: • The property owner is liable to any tenant who was displaced by that action for actual and exemplary damages, but the suit must be brought within one year (decreased from three years) of the date when the withdrawn accommodations are offered again

for rent or lease.

• Requires the owner to offer to reinstitute the agreement or lease on the same terms and at the same rent in effect at the time of displacement to that displaced tenant or lessee.

• Provides that if the property is returned to the rental market within 10 years from the date of withdrawal, the owner must first offer the returned unit to the tenant displaced by the withdrawal, if the tenant has advised the owner in writing within 30 days of the displacement of his or her desire to consider an offer to renew the tenancy and has furnished the owner with an address to which that offer is to be directed.

• Removes the cap on the amount of punitive damages that a displaced tenant may recover against an owner of accommodations for violations of 2) or 3) above.

local ordinances, regulations, or rules implementing these provisions shall be prospective only and shall have no effect on a withdrawal for which the notice of intent to withdraw the accommodation has been filed with the public entity prior to January 1, 2019.

• Clarifies that the owner may elect to extend the tenancy on any other rental unit up to one year after date of delivering the notice of intent to withdraw to the public entity.

• Provides that the date of withdrawal for the accommodations as a whole for the purposes of calculating the time periods described above shall be the last date of withdrawal of any extended tenancy.

• Clarifies that none of the above provisions relating to enforcement of the Act precludes a tenant or public entity from pursuing any alternative remedy under the law.

• Provides that it was not the Legislature's intent, in enacting the Ellis Act, to permit an owner to withdraw from rent or lease, or return to the rental market, less than all of the accommodations withdrawn pursuant to the Act. The April 30 amendments to the bill were intended to finalize a compromise that would address concerns of the opposition (SDCAA included) and cause them to remove their opposition. Unfortunately, that set of amendments inadvertently missed a few things, which were then included within the May 3 amendments. The May 3 amendments restore existing law to subdivision (a) of Section 7060.2, and no longer extend the period (from five years to 10 years) that a landlord must wait to re-rent a property at market rate after an Ellis Act closure.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that these provisions shall be applied only prospectively and shall have no effect on a withdrawal for which the notice of intent to withdraw was filed prior to the effective date of this bill, should it become law. Unfortunately, the wrong date was stated in the April 30 amendments and was not corrected in the May 3 amendments. The necessary corrective amendment was added.

It is likely that with these final amendments, SDCAA, and most other opponents to the bill, will no longer oppose the bill and will adopt an official "Neutral" position once all the amendments go into print and SDCAA has a chance to review.

Declared Disasters As an FYI, Governor Brown has again extended states of emergency in areas of both Northern and Southern California affected by last fall’s wildfires.

The extension keeps in effect the state’s anti-price gouging law, which bans rent increases exceeding 10 percent during states of emergency.

• San Diego County: the state of emergency remains in effect through June 7 (Lilac Fire) • Southern California: states of emergency were set to expire June 4. The Governor extended the declaration in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties to December 4.

• Northern California: states of emergency were set to expire Wednesday, April 18. The Governor extended the emergency declaration to December 4 for Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties.

Note: As he has just done, the expiration dates can be extended by the governor or local officials again if the need arises.

Also, one must note that Xavier Becerra, California’s attorney general, has opined that the price-gouging law applies anywhere in the state with an increased consumer demand as a result of the emergencies.

This means the price gouging limit as a result of the ban is not limited to the counties for which a state of emergency has been declared.

Efforts are focused: keeping tenants in place, regardless of their ability to pay rent or being problematic.

We made a concerted effort to drive home the point that no landlord wants a vacancy, it is not practical, but sometimes necessary.

RENTAL HOUSING COALITION LOCAL LEGISLATIVE UPDATE On June 5, Palm Spring voters will decide if the city should adopt new rules on Vacation Rentals operating in city limits. Measure C, if approved by Palm Spring voters, would ban vacation rentals located in the city’s residential neighborhoods from renting for less than 28 days unless the property is owner-occupied at the time the unit is being rented.

In the last few months, the debate over Measure C has intensified among various groups that support and oppose the measure, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, and the City of Palm Springs. These interests have battled over issues like the city’s economic impact study, ballot statements, and even statements issued from the Agua Caliente Band.

In February, Palm Springs City Staff released an economic impact report on the measure, and concluded the ban would affect three-quarters of the 1,986 vacation rentals registered with the city, which could affect an estimated 467,000 visits. Palm Springs could lose as much as $199 million in economic activity, $9.6 million in tax revenue per year, and 1,200 jobs. The measure’s proponents criticized the report as partial against the measure.

In April, Palm Springs City Officials read a position letter by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians at a city hearing.

The letter stating the Band’s opposition to the measure and that it would not comply, a right as a sovereign nation. Half the land in Palm Springs is owned

by the Agua Caliente Band. The group responsible for placing the measure on the ballot, Palm Springs Neighbors for Neighborhoods (PSN4N), criticized the city for misrepresenting the band’s position. The Tribal Counsel later reaffirmed the tribe’s opposition to Measure C. In May, PSN4N filed two complaints with the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) against Palm Springs for a Measure C mailer sent to residents, alleging the mailer was partial against the measure. The City Attorney in response implied the mailer was fair and impartial and that law prohibits publiclyfunded mailers from promoting support or opposition for any measure.

In April, the Desert Sun newspaper

June 2018 RentalOwner | 19

reported that police were called to remove a paid signature gatherer from a vacation rental unit hired

by PSN4N last fall. According to the article, the group reserved the vacation rental during September and October using an online booking service to house several paid signature gathers.

After further investigation by the newspaper, it was learned that the

unit rental was never registered as a vacation rental with the city.

When asked about the matter, campaign organizers said booking the vacation rental was an error based on miscommunication.

Palm Springs could face legal issues if Measure C is approved.

Already groups opposing the measure say they may take the

measure to court to stop its implementation, and mentioned earlier Cahuilla Band may ignore the measure altogether.

It is likely the debate over vacation rentals will continue after June 5.

Investments: 1031 TaxDeferred Exchanges

By Stacey Morimoto, Investment Capital Resources, Inc.

Facing peak market conditions of incremental interest rate hikes and the high season of real property transactions upon them, investors will once again turn to the coveted 1031 tax-deferred exchange to protect the value of their real estate fortune.

This powerful investment tool was at risk during the last quarter of 2017 as Congress debated President Donald Trump’s tax bill. Investors didn’t know if Code Section 1031 would survive the overhaul. Much to the relief of investors and real property owners, much of Section 1031 remained the same, even though taxpayers can no longer exchange personal property on a taxdeferred basis as of January 2018.

The primary benefit of Section 1031 is that investors can defer payment of federal capital gains taxes, state income taxes and depreciation recapture taxes after the sale of a property. When combined, these three taxes often add up to more than 30% of the net proceeds associated with an investment property sale.

The tax-deferred exchange allows investors to establish a new basis and claim deductions for depreciation expenses on already depreciated properties.

Additionally, many investors are looking to grow their property portfolios, and exchanging a single asset for multiple properties is a great way to accomplish this goal.

While there are many benefits

associated with a tax-deferred exchange, a 1031 exchange poses some serious challenges.

First and foremost, investors must understand that finding a suitable replacement property can be extremely difficult, especially in a low inventory environment.

Be sure to thoroughly research potential locations and property types before selling your current asset.

There are strict time requirements placed upon exchanges. First, the taxpayer must identify the property or properties they will attempt to purchase within 45 days of selling their original property. Then the taxpayer must close on the new property no more than 180 days after the close June 2018 RentalOwner | 21

of escrow on the original property.

Additionally, the investor must purchase property comprised of an equal or greater amount of equity and debt when compared to the sale property. This transaction is quite complicated and working with experienced professionals is paramount to the success of any exchange.

One way to reduce the management burden and maintain the benefits of owning property is to invest in a The Delaware Statutory Trust (DST).

The DST offers several benefits, some of which include management-free ownership of institutional-quality properties structured to comply with IRS guidelines. The DST also provides the potential for monthly income distributions and future appreciation potential. Since a

22 | RentalOwner June 2018

DST is a disregarded entity for tax purposes, investors are entitled to the expense deductions derived from the property held in trust, including the all-important depreciation deduction.

However, a DST is an investment in real property and carries with it all risks related to owning investment real estate, including a lack of liquidity, complex structures and the dangers of leverage. Additionally, the cash flow from a DST is vulnerable to market fluctuations. Ultimately, you must consider the tax risks, financing-related risks and other factors before investing in a DST. Utilizing the benefits of the 1031 tax-deferred exchange are paramount to maximizing returns.

However, it’s important to plan early and know all the options to minimize the risks.

By: Albert Sanchez-Alvarez, Innovative Pest Control Bug season comes around every year and peaks in the summer. At its height, it can pose a challenge for residents and property managers alike, but with a little planning and communication, you can manage the inevitable inundation of insects that call your property home for the season.

So, what can you, as a property manager, do to ensure your resident enjoys a noneventful bug season?

In a word, plenty.

Start Early Most insects are dormant during cool weather, but don't become complacent. By the end of summer, you will know if you have a pest issue, and if you need to hire a pest control company or replace your current vendor.

If you decide that a change is in order, it is in your best interest

to make the transition in the winter. By attacking the pests at their weakest, you are setting up your new vendor, and ultimately yourself, for success.

Specialize Search for a company that meets your needs. Be ready to explain the unique needs of your property, your expectations and the biggest challenges facing your property.

Locally, there was an upscale community with a persistent and widespread bed bug issue. After many attempts to address the issue, they finally hired a company with that specialized in bed bug remediation. By employing a pest control company with a multifaceted plan targeting bed bugs, the property overcame their bed bug infestation.

Send Out an RFP After you narrow the attributes

Choosing A New Pest Control Vendor

you need in a provider, create a short list of prospects and send out your RFP. Require all candidates to prove that they are licensed, bonded, insured and knowledgeable about all the local and state reports required In one case, an HOA hired a paint and wood repair company to complete termite repair work.

The workers claimed there was termite damage and made the repairs. However, the company and workers didn't hold the correct licenses, so the proper reports weren’t sent to the state as required, which left the HOA and the homeowner vulnerable to potential litigation.

Final Interviews The final step in the decision process should be to interview your top picks as if they were any other new hire. Don’t be afraid to invite the owner

or manager, as well as the salesperson to the meeting. You want to leave the meeting with a clear understanding of their service philosophy and how their company responds to specific scenarios.

Anita Grove, a local service manager, has the unusual perspective of being a former property manager who now works in the pest control industry.

When asked about key points to consider when hiring a new pest control company, she said, “The technician is the face of the company. They are the ones who interact with the residents and management, so communication is paramount. It can make or break the relationship."

For those of you who enjoy a good relationship with your current vendor, industry professionals

suggest that you set up a meeting with your pest control professional to go over a proactive plan of action as summer approaches.

The mark of a successful bug season is one where you see your vendor as little as possible. That’s how you know the pests are under control.

an introduction

By: Etta Smith, Generation Contracting & Emergency Services In today’s ever-evolving age of loyalty through direct and indirect technology, social media has marketing. become a mainstay in modern society and, for many, is a part Why social media? of everyday life. While social media originated as a tool to For more than a decade, facilitate personal relationships researchers have studied between users, over the years, behavioral trends of social media it has evolved into a robust users as utilization of social media and powerful tool that can be has steadily increased year after strategically leveraged to build year. Over the years developers brand awareness and customer introduced new platforms

and now more and more users are joining the social media movement.

Regardless of an individual’s affinity toward social media, when it comes to business it is undeniable the potential impact social media can have in the marketplace to maintain a connection to clients on a consistent basis.

Who uses social media?

A common misperception is that only younger generations use social media, and use it purely for entertainment purposes.

Even though users aged 18-49 continue to be the fastest growing adopters of new platforms, the 65+ demographic has been growing at an increased rate according to the Pew Research Center, a respected industry research organization since 1990.

social media:

"Social media is the modern version of ‘word-of-mouth’ referrals."

Analyzing and understanding the online behavior of target clients is crucial in developing an effective social media strategy. Without a consistent social media presence, businesses miss the opportunity to be ‘on the radar’ for clients during their decision-making process.

However, you can only achieve

46 | RentalOwner June 2018

long-term success by committing to a daily effort to stay connected to customers. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

What about social media marketing?

One of the unique benefits of using social media for business is the opportunity for direct and indirect marketing to an audience.

Spending money on direct social media advertising campaigns can be an effective method to grow an audience and build a brand while also providing insightful analytics to better direct future advertising efforts.

Indirect marketing comprises the bulk of social media activity and is an excellent way for companies to connect with their clients authentically. The appeal for most social media users when deciding whether to do business with a specific company is the extent of their transparency.

Whether reading reviews from previous customers or scrolling through posted content, these elements allow customers to experience the culture of a company on their own terms.

Customer comments, feedback, and reviews can have as much if not more impact on a potential customer than any directmarketing campaign. Converting a possible lead to an actual client may be more dependent on what others are saying about your brand, versus the image portrayed in a paid advertisement.

between the 1980s and 1990s, are now reaching an age where they are likely a key decision-maker in their household. They have also grown up with evolving social media platforms, and use these platforms as resources throughout the decision-making process.

Who are your brand ambassadors?

Social media is a unique marketing tool primarily for its potential to cultivate a community of brand ambassadors, perhaps the best ‘marketing tool’ available to promote a company and their services. By sharing engaging content and responding to customer comments, an organic dialogue is established online for all to see.

Social media is the modern version of ‘word-of-mouth’ referrals. The reality is customers are more likely to prefer one company over another based on the social media culture they have created.

Online reviews are a critical component of the first-impression for new customers. Building and cultivating an organic community of brand ambassadors can be a slow process. However, the lasting influence those customers can have on future business is undeniable.

RULE 1206

or as long as local, state and federal agencies have required Asbestos testing, property owners have had questions about what needs testing and when testing is required. If you’ve read the various regulations, you know that they are dry at best but often so complicated that you end up with more questions than when you started.

Many owners and property managers of newer buildings were shocked this past November when the San Diego Air Pollution Control District issued Rule 1206.

Previously, Asbestos wasn’t even a thought for them, but Rule 1206 changed that fact. The reality is that Rule 1206 now defines issues that other agencies, such as South Coast Air Quality Management District, previously addressed.

One of the most significant

revisions is that Rule 1206 redefined what is classified as a commercial property as it relates to rented living units.

Now, per SDAPCD’s clarification, any property consisting of five or more units is deemed a commercial property. This change means that many traditional apartment buildings previously classified as residential are now considered a commercial property.

The rule also defines SDAPCD’s requirement that all properties fitting this description must have an Asbestos Survey of the facility completed before the disturbance of building materials, regardless of the property's age.

Wait, what? Yes, that is correct.

For example, if you own or manage a property of 100 units built in 2008, and you have a water loss requiring drywall removal, you are required to complete

an Asbestos Survey before any material is disturbed. The regulation’s update makes this point very clear, and it is also true for any renovation or demolition activity, regardless of the reason, for any suspect materials that may be disturbed in the process. In fact, you may have already worked with contractors who requested testing on the property to ensure compliance with the rule.

Now that you have a better understanding of the rule, you need to be aware that the rule requires an Asbestos Survey of the area that will be disturbed.

However, you do have the option to have a site survey of the property to avoid testing individual units on an as-need basis. Additionally, you will need to keep accurate records detailing the renovated or demolished units as surveys are only valid for areas that have not been changed since the original survey. You must also keep either a hard or electronic copy of your Asbestos Survey onsite and make it available to an inspector at any time.

This rule may seem daunting at first, but it all becomes clear with the right guidance. Working with a trusted partner who understands Asbestos regulatory compliance will help you navigate regulations such as Rule 1206 with ease. Visit sdcaa.com/asbestosrule-1206 for more information.
