I am about to be evicted from my home.

Problem / Need advice

Hello. I am currently living in a boarding house ( 1864 Cordova street ) near Washington Blvd. near Koreatown.
The owner ( landlord ) of this place has recently changed and it is now managed by "ALTMAN APARTMENTS".

Its owner ( 1864 CORDOVA STREET,LLC ) has sent an eviction notis through the court.
I don't understand what's going on, I pay rent every month and I didn't do anything wrong.

The house is predominantly Latino American and it seems that many other residents have been sent similar notices.
So I consulted through a place called StayHousedLA, and a lawyer who works for me as a volunteer told me that such notices are invalid.

Then the owner now gave me a document saying that he would pay me $1500 to agree to evict me.
Apparently, the owner wants to demolish the entire house and rebuild it into a new building and start running it again, and he wants to evict us for that.

The lawyer advised us that we should not agree to the amount offered because it is too cheap.
This lawyer does a good job of nullifying my appearance in court.

But if the owner offers me an even higher amount, I wonder what I should do.
So far, no residents seem to be willing to agree to the amount and move out, but I am afraid that if other residents start moving out, I will have to do the same.

Is this kind of arrogance acceptable ? Even if I were to agree to move, what amount do you think I should agree to ?
My current rent is very cheap ( less than $450 per month ) and I have no other options If I were to find a place to move to, I don't think it would be that easy to find a place in the Los Angeles area with a cheaper rent than I have now.
I would appreciate your advice on how to handle this situation in the future.

You might think that $100,000 is a lot, since your current rent is quite low, but I don't think you need to be humble here. If your lawyer doesn't do well, $100,000 is a small fraction of what you will have to pay in the long run if you have to leave. I don't know how many people are in your family, but I think $100,000 is fair considering the hassle of moving in addition to food, clothing, and shelter in the future. I am sure that the owner will give up if you offer this negotiated price.

I don't want to get into trouble
I want to get an eviction fee and leave.

I want to live there in peace and quiet as I have always lived there.

I have a lawyer from there helping me. You say,
have you ever been asked, "What do you want to do?

Rocky Patel I have no idea what is wrong with your approach.
It's normal to rebuild old buildings, and if you don't rebuild them
and they collapse like in Florida, that too will be condemned and you will be in big trouble
and what should the owners do ?
The residents all live cheap and die. What good is it to the owner ?
if he is just doing charity ?
it's called inflation and everything goes up in price with it from time to time.
$ They say they will give you 1500, and even if you call that low, the rent itself is low.
It seems to me that the residents are Greedy. I have been Take advantage and I don't think they are vulnerable.

It is common knowledge in America that the poorer you are, the worse it is

The bottom line wins, as long as you take what you can get
That is America

People who live in such cheap places forever are usually thinking only of their own convenience and their poverty thought process is in full swing. They are always poor. They will never be able to understand the owner's point of view.

# It is common practice to rebuild old buildings

so the new owner will use various means to get rid of residents.

After rebuilding, residents who want to live there again have
priority to come back and negotiate such a contract through
a lawyer.

There was a post on another board once that
remodeled a senior apartment where a senior lived and
wanted to rent it to another senior so he could
evict the senior who lived there.

Think about what you want to do with your apartment.
