Lucinda Lilley

2021 President Southern California Rental Housing Association

A Shift to a Different Perspective

I

want to begin this conversation in gratitude. I am thankful to be a part of this amazing community. And I am grateful that we have an opportunity to change – change the way communicate with our residents – change the way we navigate difficult situations – and maybe change the way we think about eviction. Sounds like a big order? Let’s get started. Change requires a new perspective. How we see things…how we see our renters..how we see ourselves. Why do we need to change? Because what we have always done does not work. We need to work together to find a new way to work together. Educate ourselves about resources available to us. And recognize that we are all part of our community. My name is Lucinda Lilley and I am a housing provider. What is a housing provider? We are people who own or manage rental housing. We are human beings who have chosen to invest our time and our money in real estate for our children’s future….and to provide homes to others. We have been portrayed as eviction hungry landlords. That doesn’t fit me…does it fit you? First, I am not a landlord. We are not in England and I do not LORD over anything. Second, I am not in the eviction business. Evictions are BAD for business – it costs large amounts of time and money. Certainly not a great business model, right? So why such accusations? Why are housing providers and renters being pitted against each other as adversaries? Why all the anger and fear? Just like our renters, we, too, are human beings. We are mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters. We need and want to provide a roof over the heads of our families, was well. We are not the bad guys. Our renters don’t want to be the bad guys either. Plain and simply put, it is our responsibility as members

of our communities to care about People as well as profits. Let’s set aside the fact that the government has taken away some of our contractual right to terminate a tenancy even if the renter has violated the lease contract….because whether we can or we can’t remove a renter, I would like for us to realize that in most cases we have other avenues to resolve the challenges that arise between housing providers and renters. For the sake of this conversation, I am assuming that housing providers WANT to resolve challenges with residents. When I say “challenges”, I am referring to a resident’s not abiding by the contractual terms and conditions agreed to in the executed written lease. Challenges such as non-payment of rent…. unauthorized occupants….unapproved pets….causing damage to the property….or maybe even to allow us access to make necessary repairs. So what keeps us from successful resolution? Our need to be RIGHT! Our need to be in control? Fear of loss – of losing money or losing property? Sometimes our emotional attachments to outcome can stand in our way of effective communication. Our vulnerabilities create such fear that we are not able to hear or communicate in a way that we can be heard. I can hear the resounding thoughts– Well, my renter won’t communicate with me! All they do is ignore me…or yell ….or accuse me. Imagine – just for a second, though - their vulnerabilities….Their fears ……their homes are at risk. Their very ability to provide for their families, to have a bed for their children to sleep in, to have a safe place to rest and to eat – and to do schoolwork. Imagine the very basic necessities of life being threatened. And their fear is of you. Of us. Because historically, our renters know that we have the power to remove them from the safety of their homes. October 2021 socalrha.org | 3


In his book, “Everyone Communicates, Few Connect”, John C. Maxwell says that the Biggest misunderstanding about communication is assuming it is happening. You see, we all want to communicate, but it isn’t until we take the time to CONNECT that we begin to build a bridge to understanding.

Ask lots of questions to assure you are hearing them correctly.

To communicate and connect with our residents is one of the most kind, courteous, respectful, and humane things we can do as housing providers. We must realize that they simply want to know if they can trust us, if we care about them, and if we can help them. If we prove that these questions are answered with a resounding YES, we can have the difficult conversations.

Try to find common ground

So how do you begin? Let’s take a minute to begin to imagine HOW to have a difficult conversation: State the issue clearly - Start by using the phrase, “Are you aware that….? Ask them to tell you their perspective. Tell them, “I need you to help me understand your situation”

Repeat back what you heard Allow them to respond (without interrupting!)

Arrive at an agreement on what’s best for both of you If you cannot come to an agreement, agree to meet again Connecting is hard work. Connecting takes energy. Connecting is more skill than natural talent. If you need to have these skills NOW and don’t have the time or energy to meet the demand, there are other options! Again, to save time, money, and our communities, there are resources available to us to help us connect with our residents and resolve challenges.

EnergySaving Tips for Small Businesses By San Diego Gas & Electric According to the EPA's ENERGY STAR® program, U.S. small businesses together spend a whopping $60 billion on energy each year. A survey conducted by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) found that energy costs are a top three business expense for more than one-third of the nation's small businesses.

Install occupancy sensors. Install dimmers and occupancy sensors in proper locations to automatically turn off lighting. It's important to ensure that the sensors are properly installed. Even good equipment can be installed incorrectly, like being installed in an obstructed location (e.g., behind a coat rack, door, bookcase or other furniture).

But small businesses also have significant energy savings potential. Depending on the building and business type, small businesses can reduce their energy without sacrificing service or comfort. Here are some ideas:

Turn off unused equipment. Office computer monitor bs are an easy way to save on your business's energy bill as they use a lot of energy. Ensure that monitors are set on automatic sleep mode during nonworking hours or are manually turned off when not in use. Screen savers do not reduce energy use by monitors.

Conduct an energy audit. SDG&E’s Business Energy Solutions program provides an on-site no-cost energy audit. Learn more at sdge.com/BES. Get employees invested. Saving energy is a team sport, not the sole responsibility of the business owner. Encourage staff to share innovative ideas on how to cut down energy costs – creating an energy efficient work culture. Plant trees. Plant shady trees outside of your business to keep your building cool and help clean the air. Depending on your location, vegetation can help weather the summer heat and chilly winter winds. Plug leaks with weather stripping and caulking. It's important to locate any leaks in your business to prevent costly heating and cooling loss. You can easily plug leaks with weather stripping and caulking to efficiently manage your ventilation.

Reduce paper usage. Paper and printing can be costly for your business. Print only when necessary and double-sided when you do. This will reduce paper waste and help cut the energy required to run your printer, which reduces your energy costs and may extend the life of your printer. Install hand dryers. Use hand dryers instead of paper towels. As paper towel dispensers need to be refilled, they are a constant, recurring cost and more expensive than automatic hand dryers in the long run. It’s also less mess and reduces waste. Insulate your water heater. If your business's water heater is older than seven years, be sure to wrap it in insulation to retain water heat. Examine your energy use online. You can track and monitor your business’s energy usage by signing up for My Account at sdge.com/MyAccount. October 2021 socalrha.org | 7

San Diego County Adopt Plan to Build More Housing

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors last month unanimously approved a plan to stimulate construction of low- and middle-income housing and mitigate the problems associated with the San Diego Region’s housing crisis. The plan was introduced by County Supervisors Terra Lawson-Remer and Nora Vargas called the “Equity, Sustainability and Affordability for All” plan. The plan is intended to build more homes for middle-income families, workers, college students, and seniors. According to the County, the San Diego region has a housing deficit of approximately 88,000 units, or the equivalent of 7 percent of the region’s housing inventory. The housing deficit has caused increased demand for homes and prices of homes to surge higher, pricing out lower and middle-income residents. The housing plan also intends to help the County meet its climate action policies. The action directs the County’s Chief Administrative Officer to analyze which housing policies could promote equitable housing, and creates a housing stakeholder group representing business, environment, housing, and labor interests. The County’s General Services Department also will perform market analysis of property located in

Sorrento Valley to see if it is feasible for the County to purchase and redevelop the property for housing because of its proximity to an existing transit corridor. County staff is expected to return to the Board of Supervisors with their findings by December 15. In conjunction with the County’s “Equity, Sustainability and Affordability for All” plan, the San Diego County Supervisors announced in August that it provided $50 million to help build 1,400 new affordable housing units from its Innovative Housing Trust Fund. The money is being used to leverage another $567 million in public and private funding to build 20 affordable housing projects. Construction of some of the affordable projects has been completed with the remainder of the projects to be completed by 2024. Cities are considering similar strategies to build more low- and middle-income housing. The Escondido City Council last month discussed which model would best encourage the development of housing for residents earning 80-120 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The Escondido City Council has yet to decide if it will move forward with a bond- or loanbased model. Similarly, the City of San Diego initiated and/or introduced several policies to build more lowand moderate-income housing. October 2021 socalrha.org | 9


Proposed San Diego County Ordinance Would Allow Home Kitchen Operations in Private Residences Last month, San Diego County Supervisors Joel Anderson and Nora Vargas introduced a policy that would allow residents to establish Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation (MEHKOs) in the county. The ordinance would permit people to sell prepared meals made in their private kitchens.

State laws, AB 626 and AB 377, were enacted in 2018 enabling counties to create a licensing and permitting mechanism for MEKHOs. Legislation allows each County to create their regulations and guidelines allowing certain home kitchens to operate legally. Seven counties, including Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, already have ordinances permitting MEHKOs in place.  San Diego County already has rules governing Cottage Food Regulations, which allow people to prepare and package certain non-hazardous foods in their private kitchens such as cookies and baked goods. Although a proposed ordinance has not been introduced yet, County staff already prepared some draft regulations. For example, MEHKOs will be limited to sell a maximum of 30 meals per day or 60 individual meals per week and cannot generate more than $50,000 of income annually. MEHKOs still will be required to have health permits and a business license by the County and persons preparing the food will be required to successfully complete an accredited food safety program and the MEHKO must pass an annual inspection; additional licensing and restrictions may apply. The County Department of Environmental Health would be agency in charge of enforcement. The SCRHA already provided feedback on the regulations after the laws were enacted. SCRHA will review the draft ordinance once the language is released and provide an update. For more information, the county has prepared a MEHKO FAQ sheet on some of the proposed regulations, https:// www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/dam/sdc/deh/ fhd/food/mehko/mehkofaqs_fp.pdf.

San Diego County Joins Community Choice Program (CCE)

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to enter a Community Choice Energy (CCE) program called San Diego Community Power (SDCP). Community Choice Energy (CCE) programs are typically nonprofit utilities managed by public agencies that provide electricity service to their customers. CCEs purchase electricity from energy providers and handles the billing of their customers’ usage. San Diego County hopes its customers will pay less for electricity than customers enrolled in other utilities coming from mostly or entirely renewable sources of energy by joining the SDCP. Affected customers will have the choice to remain with their existing utility, San Diego Gas & Electric, or join the SDCP. San Diego Community Power (SDCP) already includes the cities of Chula Vista, Encinitas, Imperial Beach, La Mesa and San Diego. The cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar and Solana Beach are members of a separate CCE called the Clean Energy Alliance. Supervisors Terra Lawson-Remer will serve as a member and Nora Vargas as an alternate on the SDCP Advisory Board. San Diego County officially enters the SDCP in 2023.

Palm Springs to Study Idea of Inclusionary Housing Ordinance

The Palm Springs City Council last month directed city staff to perform a feasibility study to create an inclusionary housing ordinance and research other policies that could potentially create more affordable units in the city. The inclusionary ordinance would require builders to dedicate a certain percentage of units as affordable units within each project. City Staff also will study other policies such as creating a new fee that would require commercial development to pay for affordable housing, like the City of San Diego’s Linkage Fee, and increasing the city’s Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on hotel/motel stays.  The discussion on inclusionary housing comes as Palm Springs approaches the newest cycle of a state-mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA); a process that requires each local

10 | Southern California Rental Housing Association Rental Advisor October 2021


government to determine how many housing units it must plan for during each cycle. Palm Springs will be responsible for planning 545 very-low-income units, 408 low-income units, 461 moderate-income units and 1,143 above-moderate-income units for a total of 2,557 new homes during its 2021-2029 RHNA cycle.  Palm Springs will be the first city in the Coachella Region to have an inclusionary housing ordinance if adopted. However, City staff was concerned that mandating an inclusionary fee with no alternative options could discourage builders from building in the city at all. City staff recommended that the inclusionary ordinance offer builders an in-lieu fee option to pay for affordable units if they do not want to designate market rate units as affordable units. The City Council would need to determine what percentage of units should be set aside as affordable and if affordable units must be built onsite. Palm Springs faces multiple challenges in building new homes. City Staff added that housing construction in the city only averaged 131 single family homes, 56 condos, and 6 apartments for the past several years and only has about 370 acres of developable land remaining. City staff recommended the City Council consider adopting incentives such increasing building heights and bonuses densities for housing projects, and consider granting additional density bonuses to builders that include onsite affordable units as part of their projects. City staff will conduct a feasibility study analyzing the inclusionary housing and Linkage Fee policies while reviewing other policies. It was not determined when the study would be completed and returned to the city council.

City Creates New Middle-Income Housing Working Group

Last month, Mayor Todd Gloria announced the members of his new Middle-Income Housing Working Group. The working group is a 22-member panel of made up of volunteer experts representing various interests in the housing industry such as affordable housing, construction, and finance. The group will be tasked with developing and evaluating

policies intended to produce more housing for residents who earn too much to qualify for affordable housing or housing subsidies but cannot afford market-rate homes. According to Mayor Gloria’s office, San Diego built only 37 units intended for people and families earning between 80% and 150% of the area median income (AMI) — approximately $97,000 to $142,650/ year for a family of four between 2010 and 2020. San Diego was supposed to plan for 15,642 new middleincome homes under California’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment during its 2010-2020 cycle. The group began meeting in September tasked with preparing housing policy recommendations and providing feedback to the city council. SCHRA will monitor the group’s recommendations and provide it feedback whenever possible.

San Diego to Study Plan That Would Build Thousands of New Homes on Public Land

San Diego City Councilmember Joe LaCava is throwing his support behind a plan San Diego officials introduced last month that would build 10,000 new homes on 300 acres of city-owned land. The city would create a design and entitlement process and financing structure to build the new homes in less time at less cost. In 2018, San Diego identified 550 acres of city-owned land that could be used for housing, but only about two dozen parcels were considered ideal for housing. If adopted as is by the City Council, San Diego would design and build ten large scale projects, each project would have 1,000 homes. The land would be rezoned for residential use and the projects would have preapproved designs to speed up construction, while financing would be secured prior to their construction. The City has not planned and determined the location of projects yet, but the Sports Arena property could be one of the potential sites. The plan would establish a public land trust and a $500 million infrastructure fund. The infrastructure fund would provide funding for the public facilities October 2021 socalrha.org | 11


needed to accommodate each project such as roads, schools, and parks. The city would donate its properties to the public land trust with the trust managed by non-profit organizations. The land in the trust would be deed or rent restricted to keep the cost of the land lower, restricting the land for lowand middle-income projects. The plan’s details are still under development, but they believe the plan could reduce the overall unit cost from $550,000 to about $300,000 of each project. City Officials also hope community college and school districts, as well as the county, state, and federal government will partner with San Diego to build more housing. San Diego needs to plan for 64,179 lower and middleincome homes by 2029. The City Council’s Land Use & Housing Committee directed the Independent Budget Analyst’s (IBA) Office to conduct a study of the plan. The IBA’s Office will return to the council committee with its findings when the study is complete.

San Diego City Council Approves The Trails Project in Carmel Mountain Community The San Diego City Council voted 8-1 to support a 1200-unit project that will be built on the former Carmel Mountain Ranch Golf Course property.

The Trails project will consist of 1,200 apartments and condominiums, 180 units will be dedicated to residents earning 60 percent of median annual income in the area. The project will include 8 acres of new parks, 110 acres of open space and will be nearby the Sabre Springs Transit Center. Some neighborhood residents voiced opposition to the project saying it would disturb the community’s character and increase traffic, but the city council contended it needs more housing for low and middleincome residents. Councilmembers Marni Von Wilpert and Joe LaCava introduced a motion to reduce the project to 830 units and to delay the vote of the project to later this fall, but the motion failed. Councilmember Von Wilpert was the only dissenting vote. The developer

noted it will begin construction as soon as it can.

Indio Contemplating Additional Restrictions on Short-Term Vacation Rentals

The City of Indio held a study session in September to address the spike in violations involving short-term vacation rentals over the past year. The city may consider adding more restrictions and increasing penalties to its existing ordinance. According to the Indio Police Department Code Enforcement Division, there were 681 violations in the past 18 months. Despite the pandemic, tourist visits are higher because of recent concerts and sporting events. More visits have led to an increase of violations such as loud music and large parties. In one instance, a vacation rental was destroyed by fire during a party held at the vacation rental. Indio has 701 registered short-term rentals in the city. Operators must pay a license annually plus 13 percent Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on their total rental income. The City Council decided that

it needs more time to consider changes to the city’s short-term vacation ordinance and plans to hold another study session this month, but the study session was not scheduled when this article was written. During the meantime, city staff will look at ways to strengthen the city’s existing ordinance. Staff may consider recommending a strict cap to the maximum number of persons that can stay in a vacation rental, require operators to have a parking policy and possibly require operators to provide the renters’ vehicle license plates to the city when the rental unit is occupied.

BREAKING DOWN $1 DOLLAR OF RENT There exists a misconception that rental housing owners enjoy large margins and can continue operating in the absence of rent payments. With so much discussion around rent payments during COVID-19, the rental housing industry would like to explain the breakdown of $1 dollar of rent.

Only 9 cents of every $1 are returned to owners, including the many apartment owners who are themselves small businesses and rely on this revenue to make ends meet, and investors, which include public pensions and 401ks, on which many Americans rely—whether or not they reside in rental housing.

Approximately 39 cents of every $1 pays for the mortgage on the property. Roughly two-thirds of the apartment industry has private lenders and are ineligible for federal mortgage forbearance via the CARES Act. This is a critical expense, as mortgage foreclosures put all residents at risk of losing their housing.

10 cents of every $1 is spent

on capital expenditures, including roof and HVAC replacement and other important repairs that help ensure quality housing for America’s 40 million rental housing residents.

27 cents of every $1 covers payroll expenses, including paying employees who operate and maintain the property, ongoing maintenance, utilities, insurance and the like.

14 cents of every $1 goes to property taxes, which in turn supports the community through financing for schools, teachers, emergency services and other important local needs.

Between mortgage payments and investor returns, which help support many Americans’ retirement plans, and dollars put back into the apartment community to ensure quality living for residents, a rent payment is much more important than one might otherwise realize. Source: National Apartment Association 2019 Survey of Operating Income & Expenses in Rental Apartment Communities; U.S. Census Bureau 2015 Rental Housing Finance Survey; Real Capital Analytics; Redstone Residential Note: Figures based on averages and approximations; because apartment community spends vary based on size and location, among other factors, one cent remains that can fall into any of the listed categories.

CAPITOL NEWS

By Aaron Reed & Associates, SCRHA's Lobbyist

The California Legislature adjourned for the year on September 10 after dispensing with what bills remained on their legislative calendar. The good news, lawmakers adjourned for the year without extending the statewide COVID-19 eviction moratorium, meaning it will end September 30, 2021. While the moratorium is ending, there are changes to the rules we previously operated under.

providers with nonpaying tenants who refuse to cooperate in completing a rent relief application. We, and other rental housing associations fought for this during the legislative year, however, it was not included in any of the rental assistance legislation. SB 747 is an intent/placeholder bill with specific language still being developed, it does state the intent of the Legislature to address the issue.

For example, the unlawful detainer process is temporarily changing. Upon the expiration of the moratorium, October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022, rental property owners will be required to demonstrate they have applied for rental assistance prior to commencing an eviction for nonpayment.

We will continue fighting for funding for property owners in an attempt to mitigate the impact COVID-19 is having on the industry when this, and other legislation, is taken up next year.

Please see SCRHA website for information regarding specifics.

It would also assist rental housing

Shortly after session ended, Governor Newsom quickly signed three housing bills designed to facilitate affordable housing production in California, streamline housing permitting, and increase density • SB 8 extends the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 to jumpstart more housing production • SB 9 (Atkins) gives homeowners additional tools to add critically needed new housing and help ease California’s housing shortage • SB 10 establishes a voluntary, streamlined process October 2021 socalrha.org | 15


for cities to zone for multi-unit housing -- making it easier and faster to construct housing SB 9 (Atkins) - the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, would facilitate the process for homeowners to build a duplex or split their current residential lot, expanding housing options for people of all incomes that will create more opportunities for homeowners to add units on their existing properties. It includes provisions to prevent the displacement of existing renters and protect historic districts, fire-prone areas and environmental quality. SB 10( Wiener) creates a voluntary process for local governments to access a streamlined zoning process for new multi-unit housing near transit or in urban infill areas, with up to 10 units per parcel. The legislation simplifies the CEQA requirements for upzoning, giving local leaders a tool to voluntarily increase density and provide affordable rental opportunities to more Californians.

Act of 2019, which was scheduled to expire in 2025, accelerates the approval process for housing projects, curtails local governments’ ability to downzone and limits fee increases on housing applications, among other key accountability provisions. The Governor also signed AB 1174 (Grayson) an urgency measure (meaning it takes effect immediately instead of 1/1/22) that makes changes to the existing streamlined, ministerial approval process for housing development in jurisdictions that have not yet made enough progress towards their allocation of their regional housing needs. The Governor has until October 10, to take action on legislation sitting on his desk. We will report on other legislation effecting the rental housing industry in the near future.

SB 8 (Skinner) extends the provisions of the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 through 2030. The Housing Crisis

RENTAL ASSISTANCE Success Stories!

By Melissa De Marco, FBS Property Management, AMO We had rental assistance success! Let’s be honest, navigating rent collections has been a unique challenge. Constant changes, new notices, rent relief and legislation. As soon as we felt on top of it, it would change. In March 2020, we had a few residents unable to pay rent. This began an up-and-down process of sending letters, getting forms signed and processed accordingly. Starting in August 2020, residents were required to provide a form to us, stating that they were affected financially by COVID. This form had them declare if they lost their job, had medical expenses or caring for a family

member affected by COVID. The rent deferment request is done monthly. So, for 12+ months our team tried to make sense of a process that changed almost daily. Starting in November we started hearing word about County rental assistance programs and quickly advised our residents to apply on the December 1 open date. At first, we heard that homeowners would have to accept 80% of the rent. Some of the things we were required to do were time consuming and confusing: • We were required to send a Notice of Rent Delinquency every month.

• Our team updated our 15-Day Notice to Pay or Quit • Then we were required to send a Declaration of COVID-19 Related Financial Distress with the Pay or Quit Notice. • Also, we could not apply late fees or new fees on services previously provided at no cost. Additionally, we could not apply rental payments to past due amounts. COVID-19 rental debt cannot be used as factor to deny a rental application. October 2021 socalrha.org | 17


The housing provider and/or HOA does not have to reduce/credit rent (i.e., pool or gym closure). Just Cause termination applies regardless of length of tenancy. So in February 2021 the County and City of San Diego released additional funds to the Emergency Rental Assistance Program and we informed our residents immediately. Even offering to help them apply. We were doing all we could to help our residents and owners become whole again. There was a misconception that housing providers could apply directly. But the residents still had to participate in the application process. Without their assistance, the application is denied. After nearly a year and a half of back and forth we were ecstatic that our renters and our clients were

going to finally get some financial relief. Rental Assistance Good News One client has a resident who was directly affected by COVID. As soon as we heard this program was in place we worked as a team to make sure this resident had the necessary documents to apply. After a few weeks of waiting, the City of San Diego approved them for the full 15 months of past due rent and utilities. Yes, you read that right. A full 15 months of rent owed to the property owner was finally received! This program has been instrumental in strengthening the bond between the city, resident, and property manager. If you have any questions or need

18 | Southern California Rental Housing Association Rental Advisor October 2021

help with your application, the San Diego Housing Commission relates to community-based organizations to provide assistance. They can assist in whichever language you prefer to make sure everyone is on the same page going forward. At the end of the day, programs like the Emergency Rental Assistance Program will give some relief. Property Managers, Residents and owners all have to work through this together. It was not an easy program to navigate, but thankfully our team was prepared and dedicated to learning all we could.

to Marketing Lease-Ups

By Conversion Logix Building an online presence for a new community is more important now than ever. In a world where most of our buying decisions start and end online, new apartment brands need to establish visibility, credibility, and engagement through modern media channels to reach their target audience. Lease-ups face the challenge of competing with established communities online which benefit from better search rankings, reviews, real imagery, and a social media presence. In this ten-step guide, we cover the steps lease-up communities can take to develop an online presence, generate first-party leads, and achieve sustainability. Step 1: Create a Brand When creating a brand identity

for a community, it is important to consider the community’s unique selling point, value proposition, and target audience. Start with a renter in mind. Imagine what the experience will be like when a prospect tours the community, signs a lease, moves in, and lives in the community. Why will this person choose to live in this community instead of a nearby competitor? Are they attracted to the design of the community, the new location they have access to or the people they plan to invite to the rooftop lounge for drinks? Put it into words. See if you can distill the brand down to two or three-word phrases that encompass the community’s

unique selling point and value proposition. • Modern, Urban & High Tech • Active Lifestyle, Near Nature & Pet-Friendly • Historic & Near Cultural Hot Spots • Family Friendly, Convenient & Safe Once you have an idea of what your community’s brand represents you can develop the branded assets needed to communicate your brand internally and externally. These include your brand logos, font, photography, graphics, video footage, and copy guidelines. Make sure to put these brand elements in a brand guidelines document so you can refer to them later and share them with stakeholders, October 2021 socalrha.org | 21


marketing team members, designers, and vendors. Step 2: Develop a Website Once you have a brand you will need to give it a digital home. Designing a website is an essential part of developing an online presence and marketing a new community. Websites give prospects a place to learn about your community before it becomes available to visit in person. A landing page is a good starting point for a lease-up community. While you will definitely want to evolve your website to include multiple pages that feature your amenities, floor plans, image gallery, and contact information most communities don’t have the necessary information and assets to develop these pages at the start of the process. The important thing is to just get started. Take the first step and begin to build your presence with a landing page that makes it clear to website

visitors that a new apartment community will be coming soon. Make sure to include information about your location, any real images or renderings you may have, video content, and a call to action. Step 3: Create Lead Capture Opportunities Building up an email list of people interested in your community is a great way to collect leads at the beginning of your marketing process. A popular call to action new communities use is “Join our VIP list”. Create a newsletter opt-in form on your website or use a lead capture module like Concession Manager to collect contact information from prospects in anticipation of when you start accepting lease applications. When you start the leasing process and you have a lot of visitors coming to your site, you will want to capture as many of these new leads as possible.

claim concessions or chat with a live representative can help you engage website visitors and deliver leads and tours to your leasing team. Step 4: Track Your Website Visitors with Google Analytics Google’s free analytics platform “Google Analytics” allows you to collect website data and analyze how many site visitors your website is bringing in, how long they stay for, what they click on, and what marketing channels brought them there. Setting up a Google Analytics account is an essential step in tracking the performance of your marketing efforts and learning how prospects engage with your site. You should set this account up the day your website goes live. Step 5: Create a Google My Business Profile When you search for “apartments near me” in Google, communities with Google My Business listings take up prime real estate at the top of the search engine. This provides communities with a great opportunity to drive organic traffic to their website and increases the likelihood that apartment seekers will see the community’s address in Google Maps and visit the community. To maximize your listing, fill out your profile completely and update it regularly with Google My Business posts, new imagery, and reviews. Step 6: Create a Facebook Page The first step you should take towards creating a social media presence for your community is to create a Facebook business page. Outside of Google, Facebook is another place people go to


search for business profiles. 3/4 of Facebook users surveyed say they visit a local business page at least once a week. When creating a page, select the local business option, and under categories select the “Apartment & Condo Building”. Use your Facebook page to publish posts throughout the construction process and pre-leasing phases. Create events for your grand opening and Saturday open houses, and send people to your event page to RSVP. Step 7: Use Paid Search Ads New websites don’t rank well in search engines. They haven’t built up signals that tell search engines that they will provide users with the information they are looking for. Established communities in your area and listing sites competing for the same keywords as your community have an advantage in organic search results. Paid search advertising can help you overcome this. When designing a paid search campaign for a lease-up, we recommend targeting local apartment seekers and search queries for apartments with your community’s location in the keyword terms. In addition to location-based targeting, we recommend you invest a portion of your budget in targeting brand terms. As you build up your brand with brand awareness campaigns, searches for your brand will start to grow and you want to make sure you capture these leads as well. When creating paid search ads for lease-up communities, it’s a good idea to highlight the fact that the community is brand new and to

start bidding on keywords that include “new apartments”. If you know when your community will start leasing or when people can move in, include this information in the ad. If you are offering any pre-leasing specials, include them in the ad copy and make sure to highlight any call to actions you are using, such as “Join our VIP list”. Step 8: Develop Awareness Ad Campaigns (Display Banners, Facebook & Instagram Ads, YouTube Ads) Banner display campaigns and social media advertising can help you expose your brand to thousands of prospects. If you have high-quality renderings or real images of your community, include these in Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns. If you have video footage, consider sharing it via YouTube or Facebook and putting some ad dollars behind it to get it out to as many prospects in your target market as possible. If you are using any pre-leasing offers, banner campaigns and Facebook campaigns are a great way to highlight these specials to prospects. Step 9: Send Email Blasts Email campaigns are a great way to reach out to prospects who showed interest in your community prior to the leasing process. If you follow the marketing steps outlined above you should be able to capture enough leads to build up a firstparty email audience. Use email campaigns to market a grand opening or remind previously interested prospects to tour your community when you open.

Email campaigns can also help you promote any offers your community may be utilizing to fill up new units. Step 10: Run Retargeting Campaigns Don’t let them forget about you. Follow up with prospects who visit your website with banner ads and social ads that target previous website visitors. Maximize your ROI by seeing the initial leads you invested in through to the end of the process. Remind those people who visited your website that you are now ready to take leasing applications and why they should come back for a tour.

HAUNTINGLY TRUE... Stand Back... Early in my career, I was part of a management team of smaller assets in the South Bay of San Diego. We had evicted a resident, and I needed to go in to do a move out inspection. Fortunately, I had been warned that this particular resident was not really clean and that I needed to be careful when I opened the front door. Glad I chose to open the door with my foot and stand back…it rained cockroaches from the top of the door frame! Since then, I always open the door with my foot first and stand back. Can’t take chances.

You can’t use the hall closet... We had a house with a mysterious hall closet that the residents could not use. Anytime they used it, crazy things happened. A little back story, the house was approximately 100 years old and was a two-story Colonial home with that beautiful wrap around porch with the iconic rocking chair and swing on the porch. It was always a home that stood out and everyone wished they lived in this beautiful property. It had that charm factor, beautiful wood shutters and high peak rooftops, with grand molding and trim, not to mention the lead filled stain glass windows that just completed that picturesque home. But you couldn't use the hall closet. It was a basic and simple hall closet, coat rack and a shelf with a beautiful glass door knob. The crazy part is you couldn’t put anything in the closet or else. Every time the home's occupants would place items in the closet, all of the contents of the closet were thrown down the hallway upon their return home. The residents kept trying to figure out who was doing this prank, but unfortunately they determined it was not a prank, and that the closet was haunted. After several attempts, the closet would no longer let them put anything in the closet. The door was locked tight and no one could open it up. There was no locking mechanism on the door, just a passage handle. They would try to open the door, but it was sealed, like someone was on the other side of the door holding it shut. The next day the closet was wide open and empty, and every time the residents put anything in the closet, it would get tossed out and sealed shut. Bottom-line, You can’t use the hall closet. Handymen, locksmiths, and a priest came by, and no one could identify why or how it would be locked, so the priest blessed the house. More on the back story, the property was located on sacred Native American land...so the story goes! You can't use the hall closet...try putting that in the lease agreement!

Dealing with the Death of a Tenant

By Southern California Rental Housing Association

Introduction What happens when a tenant dies, what happens to the deceased tenant’s lease? What are the landlord’s rights and responsibilities to regaining the rental property or disclosing details about a tenant’s death? Who has a claim to the tenant’s property, when may a landlord dispose of the tenant’s personal items if they go unclaimed? This White Paper provides information on what a landlord can do or should do after the death of a tenant. Disclosures by the Landlord According to California Civil Code § 1710.2, if asked, a landlord is required to disclose the death of a tenant within the last three years unless it is HIV related. Should a prospective tenant ask a landlord if there was a death in the rental unit, a landlord must provide basic details if the tenant’s death occurred by accident, natural causes, suicide or homicide. If the death was HIV/

AIDS related – a landlord cannot provide that information to the prospective tenant.1 The landlord also cannot provide personal details and background about the deceased tenant.2 If a prospective tenant asks about any deaths that happened on the property in the past three years, the landlord is required to provide the information, but only if asked.3

cannot be passed to the tenant’s beneficiaries or survivors. If no action is taken, the unit remains in the deceased tenant’s estate which is liable for rental payments owed under the lease until it ends.

Lease Agreements & Regaining Possession of the Unit A lease agreement does not cease after a tenant dies nor is it returned automatically to the landlord. The rental unit passes to the deceased tenant’s estate as if it were their personal property and remains a part of the estate until the lease agreement ends or the landlord decides to terminate it.

If the tenant’s lease agreement is month-to-month, the tenancy is terminated thirty days after the last rental payment made by the deceased tenant (Civil Code §1934).4 If the landlord decides to regain possession of the unit, the landlord should contact the Superior Court’s Public Administrator’s Office to terminate the lease. But, if a landlord decides to prematurely terminate a long-term lease, once the lease is terminated the landlord can no longer receive rental payments from the estate.5

If there is an Executor or administrator of the estate, the unit becomes the Executor or administrator’s responsibility until the lease agreement ends or is terminated. The unit

Tenant’s Property When a tenant dies, their personal property remains with the rental unit and the estate. After the lease is terminated, the landlord may remove the tenant’s property October 2021 socalrha.org | 33


from the unit. While the existing lease is valid, the items must be secured by locking all doors and windows and changing the locks if permitted legally. The landlord also should document or take a video of the property to show the present condition of the unit. The landlord should not let the deceased’s family or friends go unaccompanied inside or take any items from the unit. The landlord should ask any visitors to sign an indemnification agreement and provide a picture ID to protect against possible disputes surrounding the deceased’s estate. Once the court designates the Executor, the Executor is now in charge of the deceased tenant’s personal property. Before allowing the Executor to take possession of the unit, the landlord should request the individual to provide

court documents to substantiate they are the estate’s Executor. If the deceased tenant’s personal items in the rental unit go unclaimed after the lease has been terminated or ended, the landlord must dispose the personal property according to California law. • The landlord must take an inventory of the remaining property - The landlord may keep the property in the rental unit or transfer the property to a secure storage unit. • The landlord must send a notice to reclaim abandoned property to the executor or next of kin. The landlord may deliver the notice in person or mail the notice to Executor, next of kin, or to the tenant’s last known previous address.

34 | Southern California Rental Housing Association Rental Advisor October 2021

o If delivered in person, the other party must be given at least 15 days to contact the landlord to make arrangement to remove the personal items. o If the notice was mailed, the other party must be given at least 18 days to contact the landlord to remove the items. • In the event the property goes unclaimed and the personal items are valued less than $700, the landlord may dispose the property. If the value of the personal items are worth $700 or more, the landlord must sell the items at a public auction. • The landlord can use the funds from the auction to pay for storage of the items, and the remaining funds must be sent to the County where the unit is located.


• The landlord may contact animal control if there is a pet in the unit. If an animal is “involuntarily deposited” with someone, the person who has the animal must notify animal control.6 Security Deposit The landlord may use the deceased tenant’s security deposit to pay unpaid rent, cleaning costs, and to repair damage to the property that goes beyond normal wear and tear. Any portion of the security deposit unused by the landlord and the itemized list of deductions must be sent to the estate’s Executor. Collecting from the Estate If the landlord cannot cover all expenses related to the apartment out of the security deposit, the landlord can petition the deceased’s estate through the Executor or administrator for

compensation. If the deceased tenant's estate is in probate, the landlord can submit a creditor's claim to the probate clerk at the superior court for the amount owed. The court will include that cost as part of settling the deceased tenant's debts. If the estate is not in probate, approach the executor directly with a bill. If there is no executor or administrator, send the bill to the next of kin. 1 Marie, Jenna, Do Apartments have to Disclose if there’s been a Death?

Why Real Estate Income Funds Have Distinct Benefits for Investors By Steve Haskell, Vice President, Kay Properties and Investments, LLC The recent fluctuations in the United States stock market have many investors looking for more conservative and less volatile investments. On top of that, traditional investment instruments like stocks and bonds are similarly not looking very attractive because of their lackluster yield performances. Therefore, more and more investors are attracted to Real Estate Income Funds. What is a Real Estate Income Fund? In general terms, any “income fund” is simply a pool of capital that has been assembled on behalf of a group of investors. There are literally tens-of-thousands of different types of investment funds, including equity funds, bond funds, money market funds, mutual funds, and hedge

funds. While direct ownership of real estate has been a popular investment for centuries, recently many investors have also started investing in real estate through participation in a fund. A Real Estate Income Fund is a specific subset of funds that is focused exclusively on investing in potentially income-generating real estate. Real estate income funds provide another entry point for those looking to invest in large commercial or multifamily real estate portfolios. Real Estate Income Funds are particularly appealing to retail investors who want to own institutional quality real estate that would normally be out of reach for them. A Real Estate Income Fund pools capital from many investors, and then the fund’s sponsor oversees all the fund’s activities, including performing

due diligence, underwriting, and property management. Investing in a Real Estate Income Fund is a great way to potentially generate passive income, gain access to institutional level assets, and avoid the responsibilities of direct ownership. Three Distinct Benefits of Investing in a Real Estate Income Funds Diversification The ability to diversify in real estate funds has attracted conservative investors that want to avoid the concentration risk that often accompanies purchasing one piece of real estate. Typically, real estate investing requires a large down payment in order to obtain a loan with reasonable terms, tying up a significant portion of investors’

wealth in a single asset. Funds allow an investor to often place a smaller amount of cash into a highly diversified portfolio, therefore mitigating risk through diversification. Not only do funds allow investors to diversify in different pieces of real estate all over the country but investors can also diversify their investment by asset type and tenants. Funds may hold multifamily apartments, net lease commercial assets, medical, industrial, etc. Asset types can have varying market cycles. Diversifying one’s investment across asset types and geography can potentially insulate their investment from market volatility. *Diversification does not guarantee profits or protect against losses.

Depreciation An additional benefit to real estate income funds is the potential for depreciation. Many real estate income funds allow investors to depreciate their basis in the fund. The non-cash expense lowers the taxable income incurred from fund’s distributions. This may hold significant benefits for investors in high tax states such as California and New York. Investors should speak to their CPA to determine their own potential tax efficiencies from investing in real estate income funds.

Able to Optimize Both Inflationary and Deflationary Market Cycles

· Typically low minimum investment amounts ($25k - $50k)

Finally, the ability for funds to continue to purchase real estate over time allows investors to optimize both inflationary and deflationary market cycles. An inflationary market will theoretically drive up the value of the fund. In a deflationary cycle, the fund may continue acquiring assets, cost dollar averaging as the market retreats. Funds have the flexibility to pick up these assets at a discount. Cap rates often expand in a deflationary market, which will allow investors

Landlord/Tenant

Questions and Answers Q

By Ted Kimball, Esq., Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP

A new tenant signed a sixmonth lease. Now, he claims he feels unsafe because of an incident at the property and wants to terminate the lease. The tenant claims he has a 72-hour period to rescind the lease after it is executed. Is this true?

A

There is no 72-hour right of rescission for residential leases.

Q

Is there a law on the length of time a resident must reside in an apartment not to be charged for paint or carpet when they move out? What are the guidelines?

A

No, the tenant can always be charged for painting or carpet cleaning and/or replacement that is beyond ordinary wear and tear.

Q

We have a one-year lease with a tenant that will expire in four months. If we sell the house now, and the buyer wants to move in, would we be able to break the lease?

A

The buyer “steps into the shoes” of the seller and the lease is binding upon the new owner.

Q

Is the procedure for evicting a tenant from a garage any different than for a tenant who lives in a residential unit? Is delivering a notice to a post office box legally acceptable?

A

A notice of termination of a month-to-month tenancy may be given by 1) personal service, or 2) posting on the property and mailing a second copy, normal mail the same day.

3) substituted service by delivery to someone of suitable age and discretion and mailing a second copy, normal mail the same day, or 4) by certified or registered mail which method adds five days to the notice period. Because no one “lives” at the garage, and because the garage may not have its own post office address and service, you may wish to utilize additional service methods and/ or alternate addresses to increase the chances that the notice will be received by the tenant.

Q

Is there any way to impose a rent increase on tenants with a lease or do you have to wait until the lease is expired?

A

You have to wait until the lease expires unless the lease specifies a specific rent increase during the term. October 2021 socalrha.org | 45


I have a tenant who has been late with the rent on a number of occasions. I charge him a late fee and he pays it. When his lease expires, do I have to renew?

Q

month-to-month.

A

A

Consult with an attorney. There can be multiple layers of analysis necessary to determine whether the tenancy can be terminated.

Q

We want to give notice to vacate to a renter of a garage who has been in occupancy for over one year. Can we give a thirty-day notice or does the sixty-day notice rule apply for garages as well?

A

You can give a thirty-day notice. Sixty-day notices are only required for residential property when the tenant has been in possession for one year or longer and the rental agreement is

Q

Are the laws any different between "motels" and "apartments"?

If you operate a motel, consult with an attorney or the California Hotel & Lodging Association regarding applicable laws. Under Civil Code §1940, many landlord tenant laws (specified in Civil Code §§19401954.05) don’t apply to short term renters (30 days or less) or to hotel and motel residents if certain conditions are met.

Q

I have been asked by another property manager if a former tenant of mine caused any problems and if I would rent to him again. I suspected that he was a drug dealer or at least a drug user but I cannot prove it. What can I tell her?

A

If you are unsure, you should remain silent. From a legal point of view, it is always safest to say nothing. However, if you choose to do so, you should only reveal information, if any, that you know to be true and can be documented. When making a ecommendation, you are always running the risk that the person you are referring to

46 | Southern California Rental Housing Association Rental Advisor October 2021

believes you are defaming their good name. Making timely notes of what you said and who you spoke to, will be valuable if you are questioned about the conversation in the future. Discuss only facts that pertain to compliance with your lease or rental agreement.

Q

A tenant of three years recently vacated with only a verbal two-week notice. Can she be charged for unpaid rent? She did not have a lease agreement and never signed anything stating that she would give a thirty-day notice.

A

If the rent is paid monthly and there is no term stated in the lease, written or verbal, the law presumes you are under a month-to-month agreement which requires a thirty-day written notice to terminate. If no written notice was given, the former tenant owes rent up to thirty days minus any amounts that can be collected from a replacement tenant (and you must make reasonable efforts to find a replacement tenant).

SAN DIEGO

SEWER

INCREASES

SCRHA indicated in the September RentalAdvisor that the San Diego City Council was poised to vote a proposed sewer and water rate increase on September 21 – San Diego City’s first such significant sewer rate increase in ten years. The Public Utilities Department launched a Cost-of-Service (COS) Study in January 2018 and released its findings in March 2021. State law requires local governments to perform such studies to provide justification for adjusting rates for government services. The COS analysis determined a sewer increase is necessary so San Diego can absorb cost increases incurred by rising prices for imported water, the need to upgrade the city’s aging sewer infrastructure and to meet the system requirements of the city’s Pure Water project. Without an increase, San Diego’s sewer budget will have a projected $14 million operating deficit next year. The Cost-of-Service (COS) study performed by the City’s Public Utility Department determined approximately 84 percent of the city sewer connections belong to single-family residences requiring more maintenance or replacement. Single-family homes would see a substantial rate increase while rates for
