🤔☝️Cash for keys situations often involve rent-stabilized homes.
Landlords are willing to pay tenants to move out of rent-stabilized units — because once those units are vacated, landlords are allowed to re-rent the homes at significantly higher rents.

How much should rent be allowed to increase each year?
City Council is currently debating this for rent-stabilized units (most homes built before Oct 1, 1978).
The Housing & Homelessness Committee COULD be voting on this NEXT WEEK.
Be sure to tell your councilmember what you think!

Facing need for more housing, LA's City Council votes to keep new apartments away from homeowners
The city needs to rezone for more than a quarter-million new homes. Elected leaders decided to block new housing in single-family neighborhoods.

Nothing pisses me off more than reading a CA suburban city's zoning code.
Most of these appear to purposefully be designed to make it impossible to build anything in multifamily zones
What do you mean your "R4" zone only allows one unit per 1,740 sq ft of land area??
