John sent me this email, and I asked him to follow-up with something I could post on the blogs. Like all these people with the best information (who can figure out the shady angles buried in complex legalese), I don't fully understand this yet, so here is a good starting point for discussion.
ZD's Inbox: Zuma, I didn't want to believe it, but I now think a friend of mine is correct: SB1818 is a plot to get rid of rent control. - John A. Mosser
Demolition Derby of Apartments Via SB1818 May Be Worse Than Expected

Demolition Derby of Apartments Via SB1818 May Be Worse Than Expected
Although the Ellis Act is primarily a landlord-friendly state law - forbidding a city from forbidding a landlord from taking a property out of rental housing use -, it has provisions that a city MAY enact to help preserve rent controlled units in certain situations. In situations where the landlord decides to re-rent the units he has taken out of rental housing use, or in situations where the landlord decides to construct a new apartment building (as opposed to, for example, a condominium) on the site of an demolished Ellissed apartment building, the Ellis Act allows the city to place certain restrictions on what the landlord can do.
Our beloved city of Los Angeles took about twenty years to put these tenant protective provisions into its Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO). Tenant activism got the city council to finally act on it. Three amendments implementing these Ellis Act provisions were added to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance in late 2006 and early 2007.
During the process of proposing the amendment placing restrictions on a replacement apartment building, Eric Garcetti came up with an idea - here's a chance to get some inclusionary housing. The amendment for a replacement apartment building gives the developer a choice. One choice, as per the Ellis Act, allows the developer to establish the market rates for all of the units, and then the rents are restricted by the RSO after that. The other choice, Eric Garcetti's idea, allows the developer to provide a certain percentage of affordable units, where the tenants are "means tested". (I don't want to get into the math.)
Okay, providing an inclusionary housing option is one thing. But I just realized, from reading the last paragraph of the amendment, that the developer can meet the inclusionary housing requirement via a density bonus. What could provide more of an incentive to demolish rent controlled apartments?
Last paragraph of SEC. 151.28.
ELLIS ACT PROVISIONS - RENTAL OF
REPLACEMENT UNITS.
(Added by Ord. No. 178,848, Eff. 7/16/07.)
Units that are used to qualify for a density bonus pursuant to the provisions of either California Government Code Section 65915 or Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 12.22 A.25., or are used to satisfy any inclusionary zoning or replacement affordable housing requirement, or are used to qualify for any other public benefit or incentive, may be used to qualify as replacement affordable housing units pursuant to the provisions of this subsection.

Title
RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE / LANDLORDS' DUTY / RELOCATION
Initiated by
Garcetti Mover 2002 / Greuel
Subject
Motion - The City Council and Mayor enacted the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) in recognition of the need to preserve housing affordability in the City of Los Angeles. One of the stated purposes of the Rent Stabilization Ordinance is to regulate rents so as to safeguard tenants from excessive rent increases, while at the same time providing landlords with just and reasonable returns from their rental units. As such, the Rent Stabilization Ordinance permits landlords to evict tenants even in the absence of tenant fault under certain circumstances, while compensating the tenant for relocation costs. These circumstances include recovery for use of family members, major rehabilitation, removal from the rental market and accommodation of a resident manager.
In many cases, landlords have forced tenants to relocate on a legal ground for eviction, but have failed to serve proper notice or commence legal action. This can result in tenant relocation without compensation. The current language of the Rent Stabilization Ordinance does not make clear that the payment of relocation assistance is not dependent upon the service of a formal notice to quit or commencement of an unlawful detainer action. This loophole allows landlords to coerce a tenant to vacate without paying relocation assistance, leaving the tenant with no legal recourse.
As a means of assuring compensation, Housing Department and Housing Advocates propose that the Rent Stabilization Ordinance be amended to clarify a landlord's duty to pay relocation when a tenant is instructed to move for one of the legal reasons for no-fault eviction, even if the tenant moves voluntarily and the landlord does not have to file a formal eviction action. This would be enforced by tenants in civil actions.
THEREFORE MOVE that the City Attorney be instructed to report to the Housing and Community Development Committee within 30 days having reviewed the attached draft ordinance clarifying the Rent Stabilization Ordinance on the landlord's duty to pay relocation for no-fault dislocations and having made necessary amendments as to form and legality.

3-9-05 - Council Action - Housing, Community and Economic Development Committee report ADOPTED, subject to the approval of the Mayor to:
1. FIND that there is no substantial evidence that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment; that the Negative Declaration reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis; and that the documents constituting the record of proceedings in this matter are on Council files #01-0593 and #01-0976-S44 and in the files of the Los Angeles Housing Department, Rent Stabilization Division.
2. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE relative to amending LAMC Chapter XVI to incorporate the Primary Renovation Program.
3. FIND that:
a. There is a need to eliminate major rehabilitation as a ground for eviction.
b. There is a need to provide a program for landlords to recover the cost of substantial improvements to major building systems, defined in the Ordinance as primary renovation work, that prolong the useful life of the City's rental housing stock.
c. The cost of such primary renovation work should be amortized over an extended period of time and should include an interest factor to account for the time value of the initial investment by the landlord.
d. The monthly average yield on 10-year constant maturity government securities, as constructed by the U.S. Treasury and published by the Federal Reserve Board, plus an additional one percent is an appropriate standard for such an interest factor.
e. There is a need to limit rent increases due to primary renovation work in order to prevent the economic dislocation of tenants, and low-income tenants as a class are more vulnerable to such economic dislocation and therefore need a greater level of protection from such dislocation.
f. A tiered rent increase limitation of 10% per primary renovation project, along with a lifetime limitation of 10% on rent increases tied to primary renovation for low-income households, are appropriate limitations of such rent increases.
g. There is a need to ensure that residential tenants are not subjected to substandard conditions as a result of improvement work undertaken on building systems, and it is therefore appropriate for the City to require landlords to submit a plan adequately addressing tenant habitability issues prior to commencing this work.

a. The specific types of building infrastructure improvements to be categorized as Primary Renovation Work.

g. The requirements for temporary relocation escrow accounts.
h. The standards to be used for verifying tenant income in relation to eligibility for a permanent limitation on rent increases connected to primary renovation.
5. INSTRUCT the LAHD to work with tenant advocates and apartment owners to develop and conduct outreach and training on the Ordinance over the next 60 days.
6.

The draft ordinance unanimously passed HCED Committee and has been reviewed for CEQA and legality. The City Attorney has opined that the Council may adopt the ordinance as it is currently written and remain within the law as defined by COSTA HAWKINS.

THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council amend the ordinance as follows:
At the end of Section 1., the following language is added:
In the alternative the owner may replace the demolished units with an equal number of affordable units not to exceed twenty percent of the newly constructed units. The units would be affordable for households at the below 80% of Area Median Income as defined by HUD and the Los Angeles Housing Department.
FURTHER MOVE to instruct the City Attorney to make the proposed revisions and return the revised ordinance to HCED Committee.
