Smith’s landlords said they were ending her month-to-month lease because their daughter is graduating from law school.They gave the centenarian three months to get out.
“They use this law to target long-term, low-paying tenants,” said Larry Gross, executive director of the Coalition for Economic Survival. “She’s been there a thousand years and is paying very low rent,” said Cooper, who has lived in the quiet neighborhood between Culver City and Baldwin Hills since 1999.
Smith, who did not wish to be interviewed, is relying on friends and faraway family to find a new place to stay, Cooper said.She has offered Smith — a widow she describes as “spry” — a bedroom in her own home, but Smith doesn’t want to go anywhere.. “I never wanted to harm anybody.”Los Angeles won its Rent Stabilization Ordinance in 1978, and L.A. County received one in 1979. Four years later, the county’s law expired. If a permanent ordinance does pass, regulations could be added.
That’s a cold lick... However, that’s renting for ya... Hope she has children that’ll take her HOME...
goldietaylor There is a special place in hell for these landlords!
Heartless society!
Legal, but garbage nonetheless.
And? No laws were broken.
That's where we have gone, can u imagine what this lady have seen in her life. Respect alone should tell whoever to leave this lady be..... But the devil, and Trump is extremely bizzzzzzy......
Don’t worry Arnold Schwarzenegger’s got it under control. Just hope he’s not bs’n and does nothing like Cher did when said she and her friends would house illegal aliens!
He has a genuin reason , family comes first . Why doesn’t her family help her find a new place . Don’t make the landlord look bad ,people get evicted all the time . Why don’t you help her La times 🥴 be fair to this circumstances .
FloInNYC_ This is one of those times when something maybe legal, but isn’t “right”. Laws can’t dictate morals.
Landlord wants daughter to move in own house
Dang that’s super sad 😔
Those evil landlords. Using property they own for their own use. Evil. Just evil.
Sounds like one of the benefits of property ownership. If you only pay rent, you don’t get the same rights as someone why buys the property.
I'm afraid that's the law. You can evict someone if you have a family member that needs an apartment.
There has to be a way to save her.
Who does that to a very elderly person 😪

More lies from LA Times. She is on a month to month lease and landlord gave tenant notice. An eviction will occur only if the tenant refuses to honor the terms of the lease and refuses to leave. Very big difference. Very fake news.
Jesus Christ said that it is very difficult for a rich man to enter God's kingdom. Matthew 19:23-24. Jesus Christ knew that many men became rich by stealing, defrauding and oppressing other human beings.
Where are all those rich celebrities liberals ? Why isn’t anybody helping this woman
The world is shit to live in...
Inhumane!

Wow, nobody is blaming Trump for this ..(yet)..
This whole 'L.A.' thing, it's not REALLY working for us Americans. You're fired.
Good ol’ fashioned bad luck. Hopefully she has a family member or two to help her get situated somewhere soon.
That's fvcked up!!! Landlord is a pos
To be fair, she had 102 years to find a new place.
In America!
bellunoya Name the landlords you cowards.
I would sue
That just seems mean. Someone in L.A. help this “old broad” out and give her peace of mind in her late years.
This just shows how cruel and heartless this landlord is. Don’t you think the one that just graduated law school should go find somewhere else to live since they are young? Landlord taking a page from CrazyClown45 playbook!
She doesn’t own the property so she’s got to move.
This landlord has no soul. What is wrong with this guy? Shameful!
The nerve of the landlord for exercise his right to use his own home!
Landlord is trash
THIS IS TERRIBLE!!!!!
I just got kicked out of a house in Santa Monica allegedly so the landlord’s kid can move in...60 days notice after 25 years ; (
People are trash.
Not her home
Shame on them
Kill them
Is Arnold really going to pay all her rent in her new place?
Email this to Rev. Al Sharpton.
Nice!
