California Court of Appeal

In an action by plaintiff-landlord against defendant-former resident manager and her mother seeking declaratory relief, ejectment and damages, judgment in favor of defendants that plaintiff could not charge its claimed increased rent following the termination of defendant's managerial services, is reversed and remanded, where a former resident manager who was already a tenant in the unit before being appointed resident manager may be charged rent upon termination of managerial services in the amount of the rent the former manager had been paying as a tenant, plus the annual adjustments authorized under the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance, and the landlord has no obligation to serve annual registration statements or notices of rent increases during the period that the former manager occupied the unit rent-free.
