Lease renewal for the rent controlled unit
Hi BP!
I have a quick question regarding to the lease renewal for the rent controlled unit.
Context:
I have a unit with tenants under rent control and the tenants occupied the unit for more than a year now. I know that the rent increase is prohibited at the moment in Los Angeles county for the rent controlled units, but I got another question. Previous lease said that the owner (I) am responsible for paying their garbage collection fee, gas, and water.
QUESTION : I wonder if I can make change to the lease so that the garbage collection fee (ladwp) and the gas fee (socal gas) is paid by the tenants.
Again, thanks in advance for your comments!
