The Fight Against Gentrification in Koreatown -- Official Documentary

Koreatown is a neighborhood in central Los Angeles. Historically, it has been home to low-income immigrant families. However, over the past several decades, Koreatown has been changing. Due to the high housing prices in Los Angeles, developers have come to the area in order to purchase the relatively cheap land to build luxury apartments and shopping centers. These developments fill Wilshire Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, but are also moving into areas zoned for residential use, with permission from City Council and Mayor Garcetti’s office. With new developments, supporters say the area becomes cleaner, safer, and provides more housing for a densely populated neighborhood. Detractors argue that development spurs evictions, demolition of rent-controlled housing, and migration to areas far from LA proper and the jobs in it. In order to promote a balance between development and its negative ramifications, it’s important Angelenos learn about and research the laws in place, their impacts, and proposals to curb the problem. Learn about the issue and what you can do in "The Fight Against Gentrification in Koreatown". Some important laws to know: Tenants have the right to sue the landlord for violations of the law or your rental agreement or lease. Tenants have the right to withhold rent under appropriate circumstances. You cannot be evicted if the landlord’s three-day notice of eviction requested more rent than was actually due. Tenants in rent-controlled units are entitled to interest on their deposit. If you live in a non-rent-controlled unit and you have a lease, rent cannot be increased until the lease is up. If you live in a non-rent-controlled unit and are renting month-to-month, rent can be increased whenever, provided that the landlord gives the appropriate written notice. Rent-controlled housing can only have rent increases once a year, and the only rent can only go up by a certain percentage, as decided by the city. In 2018, the rate was 3%. If evicted under the Ellis Act, rent-controlled tenants are entitled to mandated relocation time and compensation.
