Apartment rent used to be ½ what it is now combined with the cost of living which has doubled in the last ten years makes it hard for a single income family to survive compared to now in 1970 the Average Monthly Rent was $140.00 now it is 1000 + and that is just a 30 year jump what happened to the dollar let me tell you the federal reserve note is fake money printed with Indian blood!
People, do not get a private landlord. Always get a managed property where other people are paying the same company. Private landlords think they are above the law and can do whatever they want. Also, security deposits are always supposed to be in escrow accounts. It is illegal for them to spend that money and not put it in an escrow account.
Thank you California voters for being smart enough to see through the yes on 98 scam. The digusting, vile, slimy pro 98 crowd may now crawl back under theirs rocks....for at least 40 more years!
I am both a renter and landord I see both sides. Renters also tear up places and leave owners thousands in repairs. The real culpret is goverment by limiting building. If we build more then the supply goes and demand is satidfied.
A price ceiling on rent below equilibrium will create a shortage.. This is not an "opinion" or a "worldview" or a subjective interpretation of events or a "landlord scheme"; it is a fact logically deduced from empirical reality that a price ceiling on rent below equilibrium will decrease the quantity and quality of available apartments. That's why rent control is as obsolete an economic concept as mercantilism. Unfortunately many people prefer populist rhetoric to logic and empirical reality.
I lived in an apartment building in Santa Monica where several tenants owned houses and would stay in their unit because the rent was so cheap because of rent control. Some would sublet and would make more money than the landlord. If a landlord had the right to evict drug dealers, gang members, loud tenants, everyone would be a lot happier and there would be better communities. In Los Angeles these people are protected and a landlord has to pay them to leave their property. YES ON 98
Prop 99 is a taxpayer financed sham supported by politicians and developers to undermine the property rights protections provided in Prop 98. Prop 98 is the only proposition that protects ALL private property -- homes, small businesses, places of worship, family farms and ranches. And Prop 98 phases out a bad form of rent control that is banned in 44 other states.
If you live in a rent controlled unit and this measure passes, you'd better pray you don't have to move elsewhere for any reason! Can't climb those stairs anymore to your second floor unit? Get ready to pay hundreds of dollars more! Yeah, great proposition, thanks. No on 98!!!
Yet another misinformed poster. No wonder our system is in such a mess. Current law already allows market rate rents for a newly available apartment. Nothing changes at all for somebody when they move since they will be paying market rates. The only thing that changes is the rent can later be raised, just like almost all of the other states in the nation. And by golly, we might even create incentive to build more apartment buildings so overall rents will be lower.
Prop 98 would hit the elderly in mobile home parks the very hardest. They own their homes, but not the land. 83% of the of yes on 98 funding came from mobile home park and apartment owners. It has nothing to do with eminent domain protection, but rather gutting rent control. This is the beginning of getting rid of all tenants.
You are outright lying now. I have already told you in a few threads that all existing tenants are protected under 98, including those in mobile homes. In fact the fake proposition 99 is the one you need to be worried about since big developers and scummy politicians can condemn your Mobile Home Park in one fell swoop and put you all on the street. You must be one of the scumbags that makes a living off of rent control.
BTW, for you renters who think Prop 99 protects you better than Prop 98, you should know that Prop 99 (by the government and big developers who like eminent domain) provides that the only people who are protected from eminent domain are homeowners who have lived in their property for 12 months or more. It does NOT protect rental properties at all so your home can be condemned and taken away from you. Quit being stupid, read up!
This video is full of lies and the typical scare tactics that Rent Control advocates have been using for 30 years. Prop 98 will NOT affect existing tenants. It only allows owners to raise the rent to a market rate on new tenants in California, just like almost all the other states in the nation. Most of the speakers in this video are politicians and advisors from Santa Monica who make their living off of rent control. Don't buy into their lies.
If Hitler had succeeded,we wouldn't have these problems today.
Ironically,when these landlords collect their last rents and go to their father,Satan,they'll get the heat they refused to give their tennants all these years.
government from limiting the price property owners may charge others to purchase, occupy, or use their land or buildings. This provision would affect local rent control measures. Specifically, government could not enact new rent control measures, and any rent control measure enacted after January 1, 2007 would end.
Other rent control measures (those enacted before January 1, 2007) would be phased out on a unit-by-unit basis after an apartment unit or mobile home park space is vacated. Once a tenant left an apartment or mobile home space, property owners could charge market rate rents, and that apartment unit or mobile home space would not be subject to rent control again.
wow--that's just sad how misinformed this video is. Prop 98 does nothing to eviction control. No one is getting kicked out. No one can get kicked out.
Hmmm... you must be a greedy owner to say that. For the rest pay attention to section 6;effective date which has the trojan horse. If for any reason you leave an apartment that apartment will no longer be subject to rent control. So if I as a senior move for emergency reasons, any place I move into will no longer have rent control protection. Are you a newly wed struggling family, you will no longer have rent control apartments available to you effective the day after the election.
Hmmm... you must be a greedy tenant to say that. He is right, nobody can get kicked out of their apartment under Prop 98 more so than they can currently. In fact as it is right now, rents go to market upon vacancies. The ONLY difference will be the apartment will no longer be under rent control. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know how rent control harms the development of new apartments, thus keeping the rents artificially high.

From legislative analysis of prop 98:
Rent Control The measure generally prohibits
government from limiting the price property owners may charge others to purchase, occupy, or use their land or buildings. This provision would affect local rent control measures. Specifically, government could not enact new rent control measures, and any rent control measure enacted after January 1, 2007 would end.
