Opinion: California shouldn’t take rights away from good landlords
Re “San Diego renters as soon as once more have very restricted eviction protections. Leaders should step up.” (Oct. 26): Rahmo Abdi is one more politician or spokesperson who scapegoats landlords for the ills of {the marketplace} and the housing scarcity in San Diego. He claims there are “numerous tales of illegal evictions.” Abdi failed to call one.
It’s extremely troublesome to evict anybody in San Diego, not to mention evict somebody unlawfully. He cites numerous cases of “landlord harassment” with out mentioning even one instance.
The reality is there are hire management legal guidelines in California and landlords at all times attempt to maintain their good tenants and people tenants who don’t pay hire or harm property ought to correctly be eligible for eviction. Why wouldn’t they be?
If the Metropolis Council goes to additional take away property rights from landlords, let it’s primarily based on proof of precise landlord abuse. Clearly, Abdi’s statements are lower than sincere.
