In escrow on 4-unit, 1 current tenant late on rent (rent control, Los Angeles)

[Dave Kay]

In escrow on a 4-plex. One tenant is over 60 days late in rent. Can I, or the seller start the eviction process at this point in time? This is rent control in Los Angeles, and non-owner occupied.

Not quite sure at what point to go about it, but I would try to contact this tenant directly and see if you can basically get him to leave with minimal "moving fee", most likely it would be cheaper and faster for you, try to come from the helping point of view instead of the "mean landlord".

Good luck!
