This Month In Kill Your Fucking Landlord Before He Kills You

LAUREL AITKEN - LANDLORDS & TENANTSParasites on parade:

The suit argues that Bramante and his company have ignored requirements under LA's rent stabilization ordinance and other laws to relocate the building’s tenants under a tenant habitability plan, which was implemented in March 2016 under the building's previous owner to relocate tenants during temporary construction work that year.

“The complaint provides that the tenant habitability plan documents that their landlord provided to the Housing and Community Investment Department of Los Angeles (HCIDLA) proposed relocating tenants to non-existent housing,” said Philip M. Kelly, a partner at Kendall Brill & Kelly and lawyer representing the plaintiffs, in a statement.

“The proposed relocation address for an 80-year-old tenant who had lived in the building for 31 years was the location of a local cemetery. This is clearly in violation of the ordinance,” Kelly added.

Absolute fucking scum. I would cheerfully beat landlord Bramante to a pulp, given the opportunity.

Meanwhile, an encouraging headline,

Harassed by your landlord? LA City Council passes measure to stop that

isn't entirely true; what was actually passed was a measure to look into such laws.

The anti-harassment motion directs city staff to review the tenant harassment ordinances of San Francisco, Santa Monica, West Hollywood and any other California cities and report on the feasibility of adopting a similar measure in Los Angeles. The motion was approved on a 13-0 vote.

So no one is yet even legally safe from the predations of the parasites yet. Not that any fucking law will make much difference once an army of legal parasites gets to work. I can't wait until the first armed resistance to an eviction.
To the barricades; you have nothing to lose but sub-standard housing & the leeches sucking out your income!
