Landlords of rental units subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), which includes dwelling units, suites, condominiums, duplexes, guest rooms, and rooms in a hotel, motel, rooming house or boarding house occupied by the same tenant for more than 30 consecutive days in the City of Los Angeles with a certificate of occupancy first issued before October 1, 1978, must pay interest on all security deposits held for at least one (1) year for their tenants. The RSO does not require payment of interest on security deposits for mobile home parks.
To have the strongest case, it is in your best interest to deduct the unpaid interest from your Notice. Upon termination of the tenancy, payment of any unpaid accumulated interest on the tenant`s security deposit must be made at the same time and in the manner required for return of security deposits in California Civil Code Section 1950.5(f).
Some Commercial Leases have specific guidelines when it comes to Notices. Two aspects that we need you to confirm in your lease agreement are:
Do not add any late fees or additional charges/fees.
Effective March 27, 2023, landlords may not evict a tenant who falls behind on rent unless the tenant owes an amount higher than the Fair Market Rent (FMR). The FMR depends on the bedroom size of the rental unit. For example, if a tenant rents a 1-bedroom unit and the rent is $1,500, the landlord cannot evict the tenant since the rent owed is less than the FMR for a 1-bedroom unit.

If the name of the landlord on the lease agreement is the same as the current/active landlord, select Yes.
If the property has restricted access (encoded front gate or apartment building’s front door), then please provide the code so the Process Serve can reach the unit/property’s front door to serve the tenant with the notice.
