In laws have disruptive neighbors

[Eric Samuels]

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some advice to help my in-laws deal with disruptive neighbors in their complex. I unfortunately don’t have an easy way of getting them out as an investor given my property is in another state and I haven’t built enough stability as an investor yet but their landlord seems to be letting in random section 8 tenants without screening them properly. Unfortunately they are retirees in Los Angeles paying an affordable rent controlled amount so they are hesitant to leave. I’d like to talk to the landlord myself given I used to live in that property as well and know him myself. The disruptive neighbor is damaging property, yelling at late hours of the night and I think even harming other tenants. They’ve called the police multiple times to no avail. Is the only option for the landlord to start the eviction process? What would be the best approach to talk to the landlord to do his frickin job. The tenants are scared. In the meantime I’m trying to find a property that my in-laws can move into (I am currently renting in LA and don’t have the space for them yet unfortunately) but they are scared they won’t be able to afford another place in LA if they move at this point.

Thoughts?
