Owners Frequenty Asked Questions


    Can a security deposit be used for the last month’s rent?

    No. If a tenant has not specifically paid the last month’s rent when he/she moved in, he/she must pay his regular rent during his last month of tenancy. However, a landlord may use the security deposit if the tenant defaults by not paying all of his rent before he moves out (Civil Code Section 1950.5 (b)(1).



    Does your Office have an After-Hours Drop Box?

    No, we don't. If you need to drop off rent or any other paperwork you'll need to come during our normal business hours. Alternatively, you may pay your rent via our online payment portal.



    How long are your leases?

    All leases are for a minimum of one year unless otherwise noted.



    Is a tenant entitled to notification before a landlord may enter the apartment?

    A 24-hour notice is required and we will always notify you if we are to enter. This notification can be either verbal or written. However, in case of an emergency, the notice requirement may be waived.



    What is the Systematic Code Enforcement Program (SCEP)?

    Systematic Code Enforcement Program (SCEP) was established to guarantee, through systematic inspections, that those who reside in rental units in Los Angeles have a safe, livable space which meets the City & State codes for habitability. The SCEP affects tenants who reside in units within boundaries of the City of Los Angeles, including the neighborhoods of Hollywood, Marina del Rey, Palms, & Venice. As of 1/1/2005, and all subsequent years, a landlord may collect the annual SCEP fee (for units subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, RSO) from the tenant of the rental unit on a monthly or yearly basis.
