1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, the Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: stop landlords from evicting tenants for no reason. This emergency

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: measure will become l A law right away. L A

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Democrats were mad that a bunch of landlords were kicking

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: too many tenants out under current no fault law. A

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: new state law goes into effect in January. It requires

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: landlords to have just cause in order to evict. California

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: landlords will also have to obey new rent control rules.

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: Rent increases will be kept. However, California Democrats decide landlords

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: were scrambling to make whatever changes they could while they

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: still maintain control of their own properties. But we can't

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: have that, so l A fast tracked their bill as

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: a stop gap. A rent relief measure is also being

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: drafted by l A Democrats that will prevent landlords from

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: evicting deadbeat tenants, people who don't pay the rent. They

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: say landlords are just greedy and they want to ouge

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: they're oppressed helpless tenants. If you put all this together,

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: there's only one conclusion. If you own investment property in California,

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: you may have worked hard to buy it. You may

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: have worked very hard to maintain it. But it isn't

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: your property. It belongs to the Democrat Party. You didn't

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: build it. The state government City of Los Angeles owns it.

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: You just occupy it. The tenants. They have all the power.

24
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: You have none. You have no voice, You have no

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: property to call your own, except on the deed
