Renters at Hawaiian Gardens and Swell apartments in Imperial Beach want city leaders to enact some type of moratorium so they don't have to move.
Roughly 50 tenants could lose their homes after the new owner sent notices to vacate so a"substantial remodel" on the property can be doneWhile chanting things like “housing is a human right" and"shut it down, don’t move out,” they marched to Imperial Beach City Hall and urged councilmembers to enact more renter protections.“We need you guys to make those laws. We need your help," one of the many residents who pleaded their case to councilmembers said.
F&F Properties issued a statement saying it's going above and beyond California’s Tenant Protection Act of 2019. The company says it's giving 90 days’ notice instead of a required up to 60 days. It's also forgiving last month's rent for all tenants, including those who aren't entitled under the law, and returning all security deposits in full, which isn't required.
