Barrington Plaza residents sue the complex's owners over alleged misuse of eviction law. Advocates worry that mass evictions across L.A. could result.
“They don’t need to make this many people homeless for an updating project,” Farahani said, noting the building has over 150 vacant units.
“To the extent that the units were brought back onto the rental market, the owner would follow all obligations relative to former tenants as provided in those state and local rules,” Rose said in an email to the L.A. Times.of evicting residents with the Ellis Act, but their liability decreases with time.
Advocates like Larry Gross, executive director of the Coalition for Economic Survival, say that Douglas Emmett will likely reopen the units after renovation and jack up rents. Gross said this will open the “floodgates” for other landlords to follow suit. Gross notes that Douglas Emmett donated $50,000 to fight Measure ULA, the so-called mansion tax, which voters ultimately passed and generates funding for affordable housing and homeless prevention.
