2018 SDCAA President

A

pril is Fair Housing month, its origin dates back to the enactment of the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968. The Fair Housing Act essentially makes housing a constitutional right for all Americans – and rightfully so, all people regardless of their background, belief, and persuasion should have the same and equal right to housing. But, the housing stock must be available to ensure that individuals and families get that opportunity, and we must move beyond the mindset that punitive actions be taken on one group in order to benefit another.

Legislators are finally focusing on policies that stimulate and encourage more housing production – which is the true nature of the problem. They now acknowledge that decades of expensive and onerous land use regulations, administrative delays, and litigation has created multiple housing crises during California’s recent history. Last year, legislators and the governor enacted a bill package of addressing the housing crisis with the promise they will continue to do more to increase housing production. This legislative session, the SDCAA already has reviewed hundreds of bills – some we support, and some we will work with legislators to make better, and some bills that need to be defeated.

Several state bills were introduced this session that would make it more difficult and expensive for landlords to manage their properties, especially smaller, independent landlords. While certain legislators believe these bills will provide tenants more protections, what will likely happen as it typically does is force more “Mom and Pop” landlords out of the industry, hurt housing production, and push rental rates higher on existing tenants.

For example, there are three bills the SDCAA strongly opposes and will work hard to defeat.

• AB 2925 (Bonta) would create a statewide ‘Just Cause Eviction” policy, meaning all landlords in CA

would have to provide a specific reason why they are evicting a tenant.

• AB 1870 (Reyes) extends the time limit an employee or tenant can file an employment or fair housing complaint from one year to three years.

• AB 2343 (Chiu) would require landlords to provide a 10-day pay or quit notice, and extends the time a tenant can respond to a summons notice to 14 days.

The SDCAA has or will be taking positions on dozens of other bills as it does every year.

I urge all members to sign up to receive SDCAA e-newsletters and legislative updates, and members can do this by visiting the SDCAA website.

Don’t forget there’s an ongoing effort to place a statewide initiative on the November 2018 ballot that would repeal Costa-Hawkins – Please do not sign the petition for the “Affordable Housing Act,” and tell your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors not to sign this petition.

These proposals represent the divide that prevents all of us from reaching our goal of creating housing that is more affordable and more housing for Californians who need it. These proposals will not make housing more affordable or increase the supply of housing which we desperately need.

Going back to the concept of equal treatment of housing, it is unfortunate that landlords and tenants are treated unequally. Still, some legislators and groups view landlords as a part of the problem, and not part of the solution. CA will never resolve this and future affordability housing crises with the mindset that landlords need to be punished to protect tenants.

We all want equal access to housing and that is why we need your time and your voice to educate groups and decisionmakers that we must work together to solve the current housing affordability crisis, and avert future ones. If you would like to help the SDCAA but don’t know where to start, just contact the SDCAA, or visit www.sdcaa.com and we will assist you.

Alan Pentico, CAE From the SDCAA Executive Director Brushing up on Knowledge

W

hat comes to mind when you think of Fair Housing? Do you think of the Fair Housing Act that became law in 1968? Do you think of all the protected classes covered under the law? Do you cringe and shrug your shoulders when you think about it? Do you even think about Fair Housing?

April is Fair Housing month and we all need to be reminded that Fair Housing is a constitutional right we should take very seriously. Fair housing should be in the mind of every property owner, manager, business and employee in the rental housing industry. While 99.9 percent of rental housing professionals act accordingly with the rules and laws that govern our industry, it only takes one or two examples to stigmatize our industry as affluent, greedy, unscrupulous landlords who don’t care about their tenants.

Use April as an opportunity to debunk that stereotype and share with others that rental industry plays a vital role in the economy and community. What we don’t do enough is talk about what we are doing right, and reject those are doing wrong. Let’s face it, landlords have an image problem, especially now with CA’s severe housing affordability crisis and rising rents. Instead of having a constructive dialogue on how to

4 | RentalOwner April 2018

build more housing, we will have to fight bills that adversely affect our industry.

SDCAA President Christian Davis in his message mentions Just Cause Evictions (AB 2925), and changes to existing laws concerning unlawful detainers (AB 2343) and filing housing and employment complaints (AB 1870).

But, SDCAA members also should be aware of other legislation that would increase your water bill to pay for polluted drinking water (SB 623), levy taxes on services (SB 993), and require landlords to receive training and certification (AB 2618). Rent control supporters are still collecting signatures for an initiative to repeal CostaHawkins. Members can track the legislation being closely monitored by the SDCAA on the Advocacy Center webpage on the SDCAA website. On April 24, the SDCAA is having its Rent ControlLegislative Housing Update at the North Inland Live Well Center in Escondido, registration is available in our Calendar of Events webpage– a must attend for any property owner and manager in North County San Diego.

Members should be proud of that our industry gives people a place to call home. Please share with those you associate with outside of the rental housing industry about what we’re doing right and let them know that repealing

Costa-Hawkins and imposing more regulations on rental housing could affect their job and industry too.

I hope you participated in the Education Conference and EXPO, and I hope you will participate in the NAA’s Apartmentalize in San Diego, June 13-16. These events embody what rental housing is all about – education, advocacy, and getting to know people in your industry. Please visit the SDCAA website at www.sdcaa. com or contact us if you have any questions.

How to

Take Advantage of the New Depreciation Rules for Tax

We all know that we can depreciate our rental properties, but is your tax professional doing it correctly (i.e., getting you the maximum depreciation and expense deduction that you can)? I have found that in many cases they do not. In the last few years, the depreciation rules have changed and mostly to the benefit of the taxpayer. Two laws, the revised Repair and Maintenance Regulations and now, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, has made it advantageous to rental owners, who in essence, can lower their current year taxes.

We buy rental properties for many reasons and any cash flow analysis needs to include the tax

savings. Traditionally, purchasing an apartment for say, $1,000,000, the taxpayer would carve out the land, say 30%, or $300,000 of our example, and then depreciate the balance of $700,000 over 27.5 years.

27.5 years is a long time, but there are ways to shorten it. One of which is to make use of cost segregation studies that many of you are familiar with. Using our example above, the taxpayer can take the $700,000 building portion above and carve out what we call “personal property” and “land improvements” and can accelerate the depreciation amount on the “segregated” part to 5 years and 15 years respectively. Personal

property represents shorter lived assets that are not part of the building structure, such as fixtures, carpeting, drapes, kitchen cabinetry, etc. Land improvements consist of sidewalks, parking lots, lighting, swimming pools, block walls, fencing, etc. Accelerating these non-cash attributes can in some cases reduce the taxpayer’s current income and save real tax dollars.

Great, you say, but what if I didn’t do this, what good is telling me now? Well, back in 2012 the IRS put into place new Repair and Maintenance Regulations that benefits the real estate industry.

One of the provisions of these regulations is that you can go April 2018 RentalOwner | 7

back in time to your original acquisition, do a cost segregation study, and catch up the lost depreciation in the current year.

So, usually in the first few years of a rental property, it does not show positive net income, but over time it will as rental income steadily increases and other expenses will decrease. You may now be making a good profit and now have to pay tax every year. Doing the catch-up cost segregation study can help you greatly in the current year if you find yourself in a taxable situation.

Another important provision in the Repair and Maintenance Regulations that changed is when you upgrade your property. Let’s take the classic example, the roof, an asset that is required to be capitalized. If you replace

your roof, you need to capitalize the new roof over the 27.5-year period. But wait, when you purchased the apartment, it came with a roof that you are depreciating over 27.5 years.

So, under the old law you were depreciating two roofs at the same time! The new law changed that. Now you can write off the undepreciated balance of the old roof in the year you replace it, gathering an expense to offset your taxes that could pay for most of the new roof.

Now, I have a real kicker for you.

The recently enacted tax bill that you have all heard about on the news has a huge tax break in it for real estate rental owners that is in the fine print and not talked about by the media.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reinstituted the 100% Bonus Depreciation rule. Big deal, you say we have had this before. In it, for example, if you purchased a new refrigerator or other items for your rental, then you could immediately expense the bonus depreciation portion for tax purposes in the year of purchase.

But, this only worked on newly purchased

property where the taxpayer is the original user; used property did not qualify for bonus depreciation.

So, if you purchased an apartment complex, and even if you did a cost segregation study to identify the 5-year and 15-year property to shorten the depreciable life, it was ineligible for bonus depreciation.

BUT THIS HAS CHANGED UNDER THE NEW LAW! Used property will now qualify, as long as it is the taxpayer’s first use of the property and it was not purchased from a related party. So that means if you acquire a rental property, and you do a cost segregation study on your acquisition, that all of the 5-year to 15-year assets will qualify for 100% bonus depreciation and can be expensed in the year of acquisition.

AND THIS DEAL GETS EVEN BETTER! Almost all of the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are effective as of January 1, 2018. However, on the 100% Bonus Depreciation rules, Congress made the effective date retroactive back to any property acquired after September 27, 2017!

If you view the entire 27.5-year tax life of your rental property, the total deduction for depreciation will be the same. All of these provisions in the law, however, provide ways for accelerating the deductions to improve your current cash flow (net of tax), which in the minds of some real estate investors, allows them to buy more properties. It is generally beneficial to defer taxes as long as possible. Hopefully, your tax professional has been in contact with you to explain the new laws. By consulting with

your professional tax advisor, you should create an individual plan that works best for you in your particular situation.

Summary of Tax Savings Ideas for Apartment Owners: 1. Do a cost segregation study to identify 5-year to 15-year property to accelerate depreciation.

2. On properties owned for several years do a “catch-up� of depreciation in the current year.

3. When upgrading properties, do a Repair & Maintenance study to write off the undepreciated portion of your assets.

4.On acquisitions of new properties, take advantage of the new 100% bonus depreciation rules.

San Diego adopts code changes to encourage housing production

Last month, the San Diego City Council adopted new building code changes and new policies intended to stimulate the production of supportive, low- and middle-income housing. On a 7-1 vote, the City Council supported 46 policy and code changes to the 11th update of the city’s Land Development Code.

The changes include: • Making it easier to build more live/work developments so professionals can live and conduct business in the same unit.

• Easing parking requirements for developments located near transit centers.

• Changing ground-floor height limits which would allow the construction of three-story buildings in areas not currently allowed.

• Loosen certain requirements to the city’s Density Bonus Plan making it easier for developers to build so-called “micro” units for homeless, seniors, foster youth, and disabled veterans.

• Increase the city’s inclusionary requirement

requiring developers to set aside as much as 25 percent of a project’s unit total for subsidized affordable units.

The City Council’s actions to coincide with prohousing policies adopted by the council in the past year, such as easing regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units, amending the city’s Density Bonus Regulations, streamlining environmental reviews for certain development projects, and supporting AB 2372 authored by San Diego Assembly Member Todd Gloria which would increase incentives for workforce and affordable housing projects built near transit corridors.

However, the council’s action did not make all participants happy. Councilmember David Alvarez voted no against the motion contending the city must do more to accelerate housing production.

Several members of the public unhappy with the changes say building more dense housing will increase traffic, overcrowd schools, and cause parking problems.

Despite the criticism about approving more housing, Mayor Faulconer and the City Council have repeatedly said the city must adopt more pro-housing policies and will consider more policies in the coming months. The city council announced that it will hold another affordable housing forum this June.

The SDCAA believes California’s affordability crisis is the result of decades of state and local regulations that deter and delay housing production, so the SDCAA believes the state and local governments must quickly adopt policies and legislation that help increase supply in California and in the Southern California Region.

SDCAA Members Share Industry Concerns

with California Senate Minority Leader Pat Bates

On Friday, March 2, SDCAA members had the unique opportunity to engage in an informal discussion with Senator Pat Bates who represents the 36th Senate District, which runs from the North County Coastal area of San Diego to Orange County. The Senator joined us at H.G. Fenton’s Seagate Community in Carlsbad to chat about housing, business issues, taxes, and other issues that have been at the forefront in Sacramento.

H.G. Fenton Company Executive Vice President of Residential Asset Management, Carroll Whaler, started off by welcoming the Senator and attendees to their beautiful community and thanking

the Senator for her support of our issues over the years. 2018 SDCAA President Christian Davis (Pinnacle Property Management Services) then kicked off the discussion with brief comments on the challenges the rental housing industry is facing this year, such as a repeal of Costa-Hawkins and proposals to alter the current eviction process.

SDCAA members shared their concerns with an increasingly regulated environment that makes it more difficult to do business while driving the cost of doing business higher, sometimes having the net effect of driving rents up.

SDCAA staff shared several bills of concern including AB 2423 (Chiu) that would extend the time periods that tenants have to comply with notices. Specifically, AB 2423 would change a 3-day to

Pay or Quit to a 10-day, while also requiring a 5-day to Perform or Quit be served, and increasing the time a tenant has to respond to an Unlawful Detainer from 5 days to 14 days. Also, discussed were AB 2925 (Bonta) which calls for “Just Cause” evictions statewide, meaning landlords may only evict or terminate tenancy under specific circumstances, and AB 1870 (Reyes), which would extend the time period an employee or tenant can file a complaint against a landlord or employer with the CA Department of Fair Employment and Housing from one year to three years.

Senator Bates listened to concerns shared by the members in attendance and acknowledged that addressing the housing crisis is paramount and that it will continue to be one of the most pressing issues before the

Legislature. She understands the delicate balance between addressing affordability without piling costly regulations on top of what is an already expensive and time-consuming process. She also offered suggestions on how rental housing industry members can better make their voices heard in the halls of government by participating more in grassroots efforts of the association and industry, including making phone calls and showing up in Sacramento as a united group.

SDCAA would like to thank the Senator for taking the time out of her busy schedule to join us. A special thank you to H.G. Fenton Company, Carroll Whaler, and Robin Duma and her staff at Seagate for hosting the event and providing Senator Bates with a tour of their property.

San Diego City Council approves Pacific Village project

Last month, the San Diego City Council approved the 600-unit Pacific Village, the project is located in Rancho PeĂąasquitos, and is the current site of the 322unit affordable complex called PQ Village.

The developer will demolish all existing units to build new apartments and condominiums.

The project will have 324 marketrate condominiums and 276 for-rent apartment dwelling units. The project also includes 60 apartment units reserved for subsidized low-income, and the developer will provide another 55 subsidized apartments in other housing projects located close by.

The Pacific Village proposal

14 | RentalOwner April 2018

became very controversial because it would displace all tenants, all who rely on housing subsidies.

San Diego Organizing Project, PQ Village tenants, and other groups protested the project after tenants complained they would be unable to find another place to live without major assistance.

After months of discussions, the developer agreed to set aside 115 units for affordable subsidized units. The displaced residents also would receive financial assistance for moving expenses, and some would even receive payments for deposits for their next home.

What makes the project’s approval so unique is the developer met with stakeholders and agreed to provide the assistance to the tenants. Some speculate more developers in future projects may use a similar approach in aiding

displaced tenants.

SDCAA staff attended the council hearing in support of the project because it would add more housing units, for-market and subsidized units, to the region.

The SDCAA believes the key to solving California’s housing affordability crisis is increasing the supply of all types of housing at all price levels.

In an effort to promote responsibility when considering rent adjustments, the SDCAA has developed a resource guide, the "Rent Adjustment kit."

CAPITOL NEWS T

Aaron Read & Associates

he Legislature is in full swing and bills are starting to be heard in policy committees. As you recall, the Legislature passed, and the Governor signed 15-housing related bills sent to him in 2017.

One would think that this would be enough and that, before moving forward on any more draconian housing legislation, the 2017 bills would be given a chance to work. Nope! We have seen a slew of housing related bills introduced in 2018 and some, well, some SDCAA just doesn’t like.

While we have reported on those in the past couple of articles, I thought we could focus on several bills that address CEQA, a landuse law is intended to protect the environment that is often used to hinder development of all kinds, including housing.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a California statute passed in 1970 shortly after the United States federal government passed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to institute a statewide policy

of environmental protection.

The CEQA statute, California Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq., codifies a statewide policy of environmental protection.

According to CEQA, all state and local agencies must give major consideration to environmental protection in regulating public and private activities, and should not approve projects for which there exist feasible and environmentally superior mitigation measures or alternatives.

To that end, several bills have been introduced to amend California’s CEQA statute as it pertains to how it is applied to housing projects.

AB 1804 (Berman) CEQA has an exemption for infill development projects in cities. AB 1804 would expand the existing categorical infill exemption within CEQA that applies to cities and extend it to residential or mixed-use housing projects in unincorporated areas as long as they meet the exemption criteria cities have to meet.

SB 1340 (Glazer) Gives courts 270 days to rule on lawsuits that challenge housing projects. The purpose of the bill is to speedup the judicial process and get much-needed development started sooner. The bill would also prohibit the court, in an action or proceeding brought alleging a violation of CEQA, from staying or enjoining the siting, construction, or operation of a housing project.

SB 1341 (Glazer) The bill is a spot bill with the intent to bring greater transparency to CEQAbased litigation. At present, plaintiffs can file CEQA lawsuits anonymously. Under SB 1341, parties would have to disclose their identities. The bill would also prohibit duplicative CEQA lawsuits, protecting individual projects from being litigated against multiple times.

AB 2846 (Melendez) – This is another bill that seeks to change the way CEQA lawsuits are handled. Under AB 2846 a judge hearing a CEQA case could only halt construction on

a housing project under certain circumstances. They include: situations that pose an immanent threat to public health and safety, or when the work jeopardizes important archaeological material.

Candidates for Governor On March 8, 2018 the six candidates running for Governor of California met and discussed the need for more housing at the annual Housing California conference and while they did not all agree on the solutions, they all agreed that it's too hard to build new homes in California and offered wide ranging solutions to rein in exploding housing costs and rising homelessness.

The Democratic candidates are supporting a $4 billion housing bond on the 2018 ballot, however both State Treasurer John Chiang and former Los Angles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa are proposing an additional bond that would add six to nine billion dollars more.

At the same time, Lt. Governor and former San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom suggested that more drastic steps might have to be taken against cities that don’t follow their general plans to provide more affordable housing units.

The two Republican candidates Travis Allen and John Cox said

the key is to reduce red tape and environmental regulations to avoid lawsuits that delay building projects rather than rely on government subsidies.

One interesting note, there are some tenants’ rights groups, and others, pushing for the repeal of Costa-Hawkins. When asked what they thought, some of the candidates had some interesting responses…

Delaine Eastin endorses repeal, Villaraigosa and Newsome danced around the issue.

Villaraigosa said, “he would use the threat of repealing CostaHawkins as “a bargaining chip”

Pat Moran

Newsom punted and said, “he would hope to find some common ground.”

Chiang said that he supports “reform,” and the “we have to stop the bad actors” One thing is for sure, no matter who wins in November, the new governor will have to deal with California’s housing crisis and will have to make some very difficult political decisions.

Palm Springs to vote on June 5 referendum restricting short-term vacation rentals

On June 5, Palm Spring voters will decide if more restrictions should be imposed on vacation rentals operating in the city. The Palm Springs City Council on February 21 voted to place a referendum authored by the Palm Springs Neighbors for Neighborhoods on the June 5 ballot. The vote follows the City Council’s decision in January to direct city staff to conduct an economic impact study on the proposed ordinance.

If approved by voters, the ordinance would ban all vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods to rent for less than 28 days unless the property is

occupied by the owner at the time the unit is being rented.

At the February hearing, the consultants revealed the analysis of its economic impact report. The report showed that the ordinance would affect 75 percent of the 1,986 vacation rentals registered with the city that are located in residential neighborhoods. The data showed there were 467,000 visits that used homesharing or vacation rentals last year. If the ordinance is approved, Palm Springs would lose $199 million in economic activity, lose $9.6 million in tax revenue per year, and lose as many as 1,200 jobs across multiple sectors of the economy.

Those in favor of the proposed

ordinance criticized the report for not taking into account the economic impact of those units being long-term rentals or occupied by a homeowner living in the unit. Critics also added the impact report did not account for the decrease in economic activity due to the lower quality of life brought on by nuisance vacation rentals. The question is how effective and enforceable will the ordinance be if it is voted into law.

The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians have already said they will not comply with the ordinance even if it is approved. According to the City of Palm Springs, approximately 770 vacation rentals are located on tribal lands.

Half of Palm Springs belongs to the Agua Caliente Tribe in a checkered April 2018 RentalOwner | 17

patchwork of properties – with properties under the jurisdiction of Palm Springs, and others under control by the tribe or its members. Agua Caliente believes the referendum is too onerous and it would interfere with their tribal members’ property rights, and as a sovereign nation it does not have to comply with the proposed ordinance.

There’s also the issue of enforceability. Currently, the city’s Vacation Rental Compliance Department enforces and administers the city’s existing vacation rental ordinances. If the ordinance takes effect, the department would eventually cease to exist because it would lose revenue from the permits and penalties it collects from vacation

rentals. Ultimately, the city’s police department would have to respond to complaint calls. How would police respond to complaint calls coming from rentals located on tribal land?

The city council still must consider if it will write opposing arguments to the ordinance. Supporters of the ordinance complain the city council is partially against the ordinance. The SDCAA will provide more updates.

Basic Estate Planning for Apartment Complex Owners

By Matt Deen, Esq., Partner at Black + Deen, LLP Simply put, estate planning is the process of putting your personal and financial affairs in order. The goals are generally to maximize enjoyment of your assets during your lifetime and the beneficiaries’ enjoyment of the assets after your death. We could dive quite deeply into the subject of estate planning for apartment complex owners; however, the goal of this article is to provide a brief introduction to the basics of estate planning.

For our purposes, we will focus on a hypothetical small apartment complex owner and how a living trust would help achieve their goals.

Hypothetical Married Couple Let’s assume Mary and Juan are married and both U.S. citizens.

They have two adult children: Rose and Junior. They own a 6 unit apartment complex in University Heights worth $1.8 million. The apartment complex was acquired by and is titled in the name of a limited liability company (hereinafter, the “LLC”) that Mary and Juan 100% own. In addition to the apartment complex owned by their LLC, Mary and Juan also own a personal residence worth $850,000, taxable investment accounts totaling $1 million,

and $250,000 in cash savings and checking.

Mary and Juan make an appointment to meet with an estate planning attorney. When meeting with the estate planning attorney, they make it clear that they want each of their children to receive an equal share of whatever is left at the time the surviving spouse dies. Although they plan to thoroughly enjoy retirement, they want to ensure that the maximum amount goes equally to Rose and Junior as quickly as possible after the death of the surviving spouse.

April 2018 RentalOwner | 21

Avoid Probate Whenever Possible Because Mary and Juan own real property, own their own business and have over $150,000 in personal

property (e.g. their investment account and cash savings), they should create a living trust and fund it by transferring all of the assets described above. By using a living trust, they will avoid probate.

Probate is the court supervised process of administering an estate to ensure that creditors are paid and beneficiaries receive their share of the estate. The problems with probate are primarily the cost and time to complete the administration.

For these reasons, avoiding probate is a primary goal of everyone doing estate planning.

Pursuant to Probate Code §§10800 and 10810, the personal representative (the person appointed to administer the probate estate) and the attorney for the personal representative are each entitled to statutory fees for their ordinary services equal to 4% of the first $100,000, plus 3% of the next $100,000, plus 2% of the next $800,000, plus 1% of the next $9,000,000, 0.5% of the next $15,000,000 and an amount determined by the court for estates above $25,000,000. For the probate administration of our hypothetical couple, the total statutory fee would be $52,000 for the personal representative and $52,000 for the attorney. $104,000 for a very straightforward probate administration. An administration of a living trust with the same assets would be a tiny fraction of the cost of the probate administration.

The other problem with probate in San Diego County is the amount of time that it takes to complete.

Our court system in California has endured severe budget cuts in recent years. These budget cuts have caused courthouse branches to close, court rooms to be eliminated, and staff laid off. These budget cuts have dramatically backed up the probate court’s calendar. The end result is that it is nearly impossible to complete a probate administration in less than a year (even if everything goes right). The administration of a trust with the same assets would be completed in just a few months.

Funding the Trust After the trust is formed, Mary and Juan will need to transfer their

22 | RentalOwner April 2018

assets to the trust. A trust cannot exist without trust assets and failing to transfer their assets to the trust may defeat the purpose of having the trust in the first place.

Instead of deeding the apartment complex from the LLC to the trust, Mary and Juan should transfer their 100% membership interest in the LLC to the trust so that now the trust is the 100% owner of the LLC. Quick side note about using LLCs to own rental real estate. By holding title in an LLC, the liability is contained within that LLC. This means that if someone sues, they will have to sue the LLC and the only asset that the plaintiff could ever recover is the asset(s) in that LLC (assuming the LLC is properly structured and managed). That plaintiff would never be able to get your personal residence or savings because those assets are not owned by the LLC. Transferring the LLC to the trust typically requires a one page Assignment of Membership Interest and a new Membership Interest Certificate.

Conclusion Trusts are not just for the Rockefellers of the world. Trust are very useful tools for everyone who owns real estate, owns their own business and/or anyone with a modest sized estate. Accordingly, apartment complex owners would be wise to engage a competent estate planning attorney to put together a basic estate plan focused around a revocable living trust in order to avoid probate and maximize the assets left for their beneficiaries.

Transferring their personal residence to the trust would be done by executing a Quitclaim Deed to change title on the property from Mary and Juan, as Husband and Wife (for example) to Mary and Juan, as trustees of their trust. These real property transfers are exempt from property tax reassessment.

Taxable investment accounts and bank checking and savings accounts can be retitled in the name of the trust by contacting the applicable financial institutions and providing them a copy of your trust.

The idea for a national day to focus on the environment came to Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California.

San Diego Earth works will host the annual parade and earth fair at Balboa Park attracting around 60,000 visitors. Enjoy music, food and hundreds of exhibitors showcasing goods and services that promote conservation. Visit www.earthdayweb.org for more information.

In September 2018, members will journey east to the mystic and ancient land of China, with a rich history stretching back 3,700 years to the 17th century B.C. It will be a trip of discovery and wonder at nearly Chengdu every turn over the course of a 24-day © Birdiegal717 | Dreamstime.com grand adventure. Not all tours to China are created equal, many low cost tours are subsidized by endless forced shopping stops. Stewart Tours’ Grand China Dynasty is not one of those tours. We have partnered with one of the best land operators in China to create a unique experience in the land of the dragon. Instead of daily shopping stops, we’ll feature a number of cultural programs that will give you a perspective of life in China up close and personal. Imagine dining in a Chinese home or visiting a rural village to witness a Yao Dong (cave dwelling). lace ummer Pa

We’ll start in the north in the capital, Beijing. There we’ll explore the city, including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace. Our visit to the Great Wall of China will feature the more original and less visited Mutianyu section of the Wall.

We’ll take a beautiful aerial tram ride to reach it. In Beijing, we’ll also experience and explore Hutongs (alleyways) by rickshaw. The Hutongs are mazelike neighborhoods of shops, homes and businesses.

See life and all of its goings-on deep in the old neighborhoods of Beijing. We’ll stop at a traditional

Then it’s off to Xian. Located in the Yellow River Basin in China’s heartland, Xian is one of the birthplaces of civilization. It has seen 3,100 years of development over 11 dynasties and is home to the world famous Terra Cotta Warriors. There will be two days of touring in Xian including the Yao Dong Caves, Terra Cotta Warriors, the Wild Goose Pagoda and a wonderful Tang Dynasty stage show.

Next we’ll deviate from rural China and step into 21st century China - Shanghai. The Bund was at the heart of Colonial Shanghai, flanked on one side by the Huangpu River. This futuristic skyline is breathtaking and a glimpse into a different China, a commercial powerhouse on the Pacific Rim. Just north of Shanghai is Suzhou, which is often referred by the Chinese as the “Venice of the East.” Suzhou is a 2,500-year-old city renowned the world over for its traditional gardens, ancient canals and silk production. In 1997 Suzhou’s classic garden was designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We leave Chongqing first class by high-speed train and go inland to Chengdu to visit the famous ambassadors of China, the iconic Pandas. Chengdu is China’s most relaxed city and home to the Giant Panda Breeding Center, the largest panda reserve in the world. Next we’ll visit the beautiful bamboo teahouses popular in this region. We will also visit Guilin and Hong Kong as well, all multi-night stays.

There is so much to see across 24 days, too much to be detailed here.

We are happy to send you our 12-page brochure on the tour where you can see all the wonderful details and adventures.

Could Your

? it u s w a L a in lt resu By: Mark D. Feinberg

Please do not assume that your lease and other forms comply with the law either because you have successfully used them for a long time. I cannot stress enough the importance of having your forms regularly reviewed by knowledgeable legal counsel.

There are attorneys out there waiting to discover a misstep that could result in class action litigation.

Nationally there have been a number of changes in law brought on by newly made laws and court rulings that have made if more difficult for class action plaintiff’s attorneys to pursue class actions against banks and 46 | RentalOwner April 2018

other large traditional class action targets. Some of the attorneys who practice in these areas may need to either find new practice areas or new targets for their class action lawsuits. Owners and managers of real property are a natural target for that type of litigation.

California Civil Code Section 1671(c)&(d). Those provisions of the code address liquidated damages and makes clear that liquidated damages such as a late charge can be enforceable when it is impracticable or extremely difficult to figure out the amount of damages.

There is a lawsuit currently pending in Federal Court in Northern California that the court recently certified as a class action. That suit was filed against a very large owner and manager of California apartment buildings.

The allegations in the lawsuit are that the late charge provisions of the lease are illegal and violate

Putting that into more plain English, late charges can be enforceable and legal but they must have certain language. To be enforceable, It must also be the case that ascertaining the amount of money that the landlord incurs in damages when rent is paid late if difficult to figure out and quantify. The amount actually

charged as a late charge must bear a rational relationship and be a fair approximation of the amount of damages suffered when rent is late.

The case I referenced above applies to one hundred fifty different properties with thirty six thousand rental units. I do not know how that will turn out or how long it will take it to resolve.

I do know that very large amounts of money have and will be spent in defending this case.

I am also aware of at least one lawsuit having been filed in San Diego alleging that a management company’s late charge provision was illegal under California law.

The cost of litigating the defense of a lawsuit seeking class action status can force defendants to settle to avoid the expense of a defense.

With regard to late fees, my suggestions are as follows: 1. Have your lease reviewed by counsel; 2. Do an analysis to estimate the amount of damages your company incurs if rent is paid late. Please make sure any late fee approximates or is less than that amount; 3. Do not include a daily late fee (e.g. $5.00 per day for every day rent is late).

that the fee is the actual charge incurred. If the fee exceeds the NSF fee charged by the bank, liquidated damages language should be included and I would suggest following the same three steps outlined above for late charges.

If you follow these suggestions, you are not assured of being spared the hassle and expense involved when a class action litigator notices your company. You are however much less likely to draw the attention of that type of attorney.

There are other things that may be in your lease form that could be illegal or arguably illegal.

I will therefore end this brief article in the same way it started. Please make sure your lease and forms are reviewed by counsel familiar with this area of the law.

I have similar concerns regarding returned check charges and any other fees to be charged the resident. If the amount of bad check fees is exactly equal to the amount charged to you by the bank, the lease should make clear
