00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:37.520
approve to make them approve. >> Okay. Um all right, well, we're going to if we're going to hear we're going to again, like I said the other times, we're going to have an opinion for you in July and um

82
00:24:37.520 --> 00:24:53.840
>> Is I would Should I would be able later, maybe, if that rent control make a decision? >> Oh, you'll get if if if you've been overcharged, the landlord will have to refund your money. >> They will refund you, so I can >> are if the board determines that you've been overcharged, you will get your money back.

83
00:24:53.840 --> 00:25:08.960
Um >> Thank you so much. >> I don't Yeah, it's an interesting question because they're paying by the portal, but they're not paying the increased rent increase. So, you might want to ask your friends how how they're paying on the portal and

84
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:25.920
they're paying the lesser amount. >> But, they just keep telling me >> The portal is not social. I can do it on the computer. >> Oh, it's going to be a surcharge. Okay, so here's what you should Yeah, here's what you should do. If you believe, you know,

85
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:40.680
you've made your complaint here and you you you've addressed I don't I can't give you legal advice, but I can tell you that if you believe that you only need to pay your 1,200 and you pay that >> that it is, but this increase if they

86
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:58.000
said 1250, I will be happy to do that every year. That's fine. >> Yeah, no, no, I'm but I'm saying to you right now >> the same >> No, no, no, but right now I got you. Right now, you've made your complaint and we're going to look and we're going to see the board is going to determine

87
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:14.560
what your rent should be. >> And not all the apartments are same as I see from the schedule even I have it. Some apartment paying they are coming after me. I'm the oldest one in the four rooms. They are after me and they paying less than all. >> Yeah, I understand. So, here's what's

88
00:26:14.560 --> 00:26:29.440
going to happen. Um >> [snorts] >> we're going to look at your complaint and we're going to determine what um what the valid increase should be. We don't know when the rent control office issues the the application. We don't know that the rent is not what the

89
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:45.600
landlord tells us until somebody complains about it and and you did. So, now we look and now that we did and and you've done it within your period of time your you've preserved your right to complain and you're not going to be your

90
00:26:45.600 --> 00:27:02.280
the amount you pay is going to remain in question. Nobody's going to say you paid too too little until we rule on it. >> But I will continue pay the same amount for every month until the rent control make a decision. >> So, well, that's what I'm saying to you. If If you feel like you're overpaying

91
00:27:02.280 --> 00:27:18.560
and you should only be paying the 1,200, you're welcome to pay your 1,200 if you'd like. Um because we're going to issue, you know, you can either pay your 1,200 and then if you lose, you'll have to pay the increase that we talked about.

92
00:27:18.560 --> 00:27:34.880
>> But I would stay in the apartment or they would be able to kick me out in the street? I don't know. >> I can't tell you that, but the chance of Yeah, the chance of them being able to evict you while you have a complaint here is very slim, but they could do

93
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:51.320
anything. So, I can't give you legal advice. >> take me to court or what? >> So, you choose what you want. Yeah, I mean, I'm not the right I can't tell you what to do, but I will tell you again like I said that if you win, the landlord will have to refund your money to you. And if the landlord does not refund your

94
00:27:51.320 --> 00:28:06.880
money, then he's not going to get any rent increase. The board is not going to give him rent increases on any of these apartments because he needs to follow rules. So, you know, and and at that point then, you know, if you owe him rent or if he

95
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:22.040
owes you money and you're here, you know, then you can go to the board of rent review. You can see somebody and see whether you're allowed to say, "I'm not paying my rent to you because you owe me." That's up to you. You know, we're going to just issue you what you're supposed to do. We will correct the rent

96
00:28:22.040 --> 00:28:41.360
and well, you know, and you'll get a you'll get a decision by July. >> Thank you so much. I got to go. >> welcome. You're welcome. All right? >> Thank you. >> All right, thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right, you all think you're good, right? No more questions? All right.

97
00:28:41.360 --> 00:28:59.080
I think we're done. All right, anybody um we're going to open we're going to close the close the hearing and yep and open to public comment. Have a motion? >> I'll motion to close.

98
00:28:59.080 --> 00:29:22.280
>> I'll second it. >> Anybody any anybody opposed we just do everybody favor? Okay, so that's then we make a so let's open it to public comment. Make a motion open to public comment. >> Can I make a motion to open public comments?

99
00:29:22.280 --> 00:29:44.200
>> I'll make a motion. >> Second? Any objections? Okay, none heard. All right, motion passed. Public comment, come on up. Anybody have a public comment? Nope. No public comment? Me neither.

100
00:29:44.200 --> 00:30:01.000
Who's waving at me? >> Can we ask questions? >> Yeah, yeah, I mean why don't I answer your questions now? We'll see about that. YOU CAN SING A SONG IF YOU WANT. You can sing a song. Whatever you like. Don't curse. Don't say anything inappropriate. >> Good evening. My name is Sandra Hop and

101
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:17.160
I'm here on behalf of my mother Maureen Forrester who is a tenant at rent control department for 33 years, 1084 Kennedy Boulevard apartment 16. She's currently in the process of being evicted from her landlord building

102
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:34.320
management and they this is this is this keeps happening. It's it's a pattern of this continuous litigation with them. >> [snorts] >> Basically what it where it is stands right now, we're going to court again this coming Monday. It's a holdover case. She does not owe any rent. She is

103
00:30:34.320 --> 00:30:49.680
paid up to date, but they're trying to force her to sign this lease. They it's an 18-page lease. They have filed >> [clears throat] >> the paperwork where it is it is deficient. Doesn't even say that it's rent controlled. So, I'm going to bring

104
00:30:49.680 --> 00:31:05.480
that up. That's that's big. Um the bottom line is is that there it's 11 pages with clauses, five riders, two rules and regulations. So, it's 18 pages in totals and it has 19 instances within the lease that classify

105
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:22.000
charges as additional rent. Does this violate the board of rent controlled ordinances? I mean, I I looked through the chapter 16 rent control and I, you know, tried to do my due diligence to try to find this because we do have um an

106
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:36.880
attorney from the waterfront property who's trying to help us um as well as Liz Hurley who's really super. Um but they're only going to litigate as much as they can and I'm trying to uncover a lot of a lot of

107
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:52.880
things that this landlord has done wrong and we'll actually be here in a hearing um next hopefully in July. We'll see. Um but my my question is is that >> We're hearing another complaint on the overcharge. >> Correct. Yeah, which is not this

108
00:31:52.880 --> 00:32:08.160
It's kind of it's kind of bridging, you know, it's all kind of coming together. But the thing is is that, you know, the additional rent or it it doesn't say surcharges, it says additional rent. It's just repeated over and over and over and over again over and over.

109
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:22.920
>> Are you talking about on invoice? >> On the lease that they want her to sign and, you know, the thing is is that I don't, you know, I I really love to get it dismissed because of the fact that, you know, the paperwork is deficient, but I don't know if the judge is going to do that. She just might have to say

110
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:39.120
amend it. But the fact is is that they really want her to sign this lease and it's basically just, you know, it's it's weaponizing, you know, this lease is weaponized to evict her. They'll find something. I know it. And she's 76. She's lived there for 33 years without ever instance.

111
00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:55.680
But, you know, it's always late charges. But the last time that they took her to court in 2023, it was dismissed because they tried to evict her for late charges, and they were like, you can't do that. Like, first of all, there wasn't a lease. She's not has never has had a lease. But they want to lock her into it because it's going to weaponize it. But

112
00:32:55.680 --> 00:34:32.399
the thing is is that the 19 instances where it says additional rent, does that violate the Right. Right. Right. Oh, no. Yeah. >> landlord's going to say, "Oh, it's a late fee." And then you're going to

113
00:34:32.399 --> 00:34:49.440
argue that. So, I I I can't tell you There are There are instances where you can get quote unquote additional rent. Whether that's your situation or not, I I don't know. >> Yeah, that It's not like any amenities. It's just like, you know, penalties. Like, you know, um if >> That's something you need to discuss

114
00:34:49.440 --> 00:35:05.360
with the judge and look at your lease and and think, you know, look at the ordinance. Unfortunately, I can't tell you. Talk to your landlord. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, I just just wanted to, you know, jump in and >> come and ask me, but you know, we can't Yeah, we can't. >> Yeah, I mean, it's like moisture and mold, you know, if they charge

115
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:20.720
additional rent. Uh window guards, additional rent, you know. Lead-based paint, additional rent, um you know, uh any damages resulting from misuse of nature it's considered additional rent, you know. It's It's all just It's It's a rent scheme, you know.

116
00:35:20.720 --> 00:35:35.920
>> Well, I mean, listen, like you said last time, your judge said, "No, no, no." So, ask No, the judges They do this all the time. They're They're pretty good at it. Um so, tell them So, you know, you just come prepared with what are these things and ask. >> Yeah. >> Talk to your lawyer and and see, but

117
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:51.240
like I said, our ordinance does not identify particular things and say, "Oh, this is okay. This is not okay." Look at the definition section of the ordinance and figure it out. >> Yeah, cuz the ordinances are you know, it's it's it's very specific and I love the way it's written. I I can understand

118
00:35:51.240 --> 00:36:07.800
it. It's the lease that I can't understand and compare it to it because like I said, you know, it's >> cover everything, but we did >> It's awful. >> try to explain >> But it's >> So, so read it and you know, you're you're very articulate. You seem very bright. >> Thank you. >> Um read it and figure out whether those

119
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:24.440
things fit in there and why and and cobble your cobble your defense together and take it, you know, take it to your lawyer or take it to the judge. >> Yeah. Yeah. I That's what I want you We're going to mediation. So, >> I got you. I I can't give you any more, but I think I've kind of led you and helped you read the >> Yeah. I thank you. >> tell you on your own facts, but I can

120
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:41.240
only say that's how ordinances work. >> Yeah. All right. Well, thank you all. I appreciate >> you know, good luck. Thank you. >> All right. Anybody else? All right. Motion to close comments? >> Make a motion to close comments. >> I'll second.

121
00:36:41.240 --> 00:37:00.400
