I just wanted to let people know that the Chadwick Management Office send me a 30-day notice to raise my rent, even though it has only been 6 months since the last increase. I called the office to let them know that had made a mistake. They called back saying it was a mistake and that my rental rate would stay the same (they did not even apologize for THEIR mistake!). Check your lease before you accept any increases. I know this was not a "mistake" and they are hoping people won't question their tactics and just sign a new lease to pay them more money when there is rent control. They are also "requiring" me to sign a new lease even though I need and would like to go "month-to-month" because of the unstable economy and the status of my job. Does anybody know if I HAVE to sign a new lease to stay at the Chadwick or are they just trying to lock people into leases, so if they have to move before the lease is up, Chadwick can charge them the ridiculous $2500.00 fee to be able to get out of their "lease"' This fact is also not mentioned in the lease.

THE PERSON BELOW ME IS ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGEMENT AND PROBABLY WON'T BE HERE 6 MONTHS FROM NOW. QUESTIONS RELATED TO RENT INCREASES AND LEASES ARE ADDRESSED IN A DOCUMENT CALLED THE RSO, Rent Stabilization Ordinance. CALL 213 - 2 5 2 - 2 5 0 0 for the LA Housing Authority/Housing Dept. They can confirm what your rights and responsibilities are as a tenant and are familiar with the various leases at City Heights/Chadwick. Narrow your question and simply ask if you can be evicted for not RENEWING your lease. If you were a tenant before FPI Management took over and were told you had to sign a lease or face eviction, report it to these people whether or not you currently live in the building. To the uninformed child below who must have been facing the mirror when SHE used the term MORON, older people have difficulty walking several flights of stairs. Also, there are people with infants in strollers as well as people who have heavy items that find elevators useful. The building is advertised as having elevators and security, and it is NOT moronic to expect each to be operating regularly. I watched someone move to the 3rd floor, one box at a time this afternoon. Is he a MORON? This site is for people to post their experiences as renters. It isn't to hurt the pockets of FPI. That's what lawsuits are for. Before you post again, take a look at suits filed by former FPI employees so that you get a clue exactly how little you will be regarded when they tire of you. If it angers you so to read all these complaints, you don't have to log in. Once a lease expires, you are automatically on a month-to-month. However, if you've lived in the building a long time(*), you have to be given more (*) than 30 days to move, (*)specific number of days is in RSO. My experience may be totally different from that of someone in a different building. After all, it's a big building. IT WOULD BE PRETTY FOOLISH TO EVICT A RENT PAYING TENANT when you are having trouble filling up all these vacancies. FPI KNOWS THAT IF YOU EVICT SOMEONE AS A FORM OF RETALIATION FOR MAKING A COMPLAINT, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE. This site is for people to express when wrongs like that occur so that others don't fall prey. I don't believe it's for office workers to pose as renters.

what are you a %ucking moron. You dont have the option to stay month to month unless they allow you. If you are month to month all they have to give you is a 30day notice to get the %uck out. Its pretty simple if you dont sign the lease then you move. You dont have the right to tell the person that owns the place! where you rent! what you are going to do. As far as this website goes do you really think any of you morons are hurting the pockets of FPI??? If you do then that would make you REALLY A MORON.

I've read the rent stabilization ordinance and you don't have to sign the new lease if it is materially different from your previous lease. my previous lease clearly said that after the initial lease term i would be going month to month, which i have been for the last three years. management tried to get me to sign the new lease without the chance to read it. I knew it wouldn't have the month to month option, so i didn't sign it. all they care about is the increase rent, and i paid it.
and and FYI for the moron, the landlord CANNOT force a tenant who is on a month to month lease to leave unless the tenant has been their less than a year. and even to do so, the tenant has to have committed an act that is the basis for eviction - ie failure to pay rent, failure to sign a lease that is of LIKE TERM AND CONDITIONS, or creating a nuisance and breaking any lease provisions. even then the landlord has to give notice to the tenant and give him 30 days to correct the action.
so stuff a sock in it moron.
