Lieu's “Only online” rent payments ban passes

Bill to Prohibit Landlords From Demanding that Tenants Pay Rent Only Online Passes California Legislature

Last September tenants in the buildings owned by Jones and Jones Property Management were served with notices informing them that a new rent online only policy would begin on December 1, 2011.Tenants in California are on the verge of a tremendous victory in securing important rights.

The notice stated that the new rent policy was for the purposes of 'going green' to help the planet and save trees by eliminating paper checks and envelopes.

But, CES Executive Director Larry Gross decried the practice, saying, "We believe the only ‘going green’ they're interested in is the going for more green dollar bills, which they believe will increase in the form of higher rents after evicting people for non-payment of rent who are unable to deal with the new online technology. This is more about greed than green."


CES claims "online only" rent payments pave way to evict low income, low rent tenants.

After receiving the notice tenants sought and received assistance from the Coalition for Economic Survival (CES).

CES helped to organize residents to oppose the new policy and contacted Bet Tzedek Legal Services who agreed to represent the tenants in a legal action against Jones and Jones.

Many of these tenants are over the age of 62 and have lived in their homes for a decade or more, and, thus, are paying the lowest rent.

In addition, many of these tenants do not own computers, are not computer literate, and are living on fixed incomes.

Tenant & CES Member Margaret Beavers said, “I am 86 years old and I am computer illiterate.”

She has been a Crenshaw area Jones and Jones apartment since 1963.

"I'd have to buy a computer and learn how to use it; at 86 I want to travel and do other things," she said


California State Senator Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) will represent West Hollywood "unofficially" until 2014, when the old Senate seat goes up for election (it's complicated; just blame redistricting.). Photo by WeHo News.

Mr. Gross insists that, "This policy was nothing more than a scheme to target the long-term, low-rent tenants for eviction to obtain higher rents."

Soon after AIMCO, the largest corporate landlord in the country, came up with its own variation to this scheme.

The owner of West Hollywood’s The Crescent complex, AIMCO, started demanding that their tenants provide the corporate real estate giant personal bank information so as to be able to debit their bank accounts each month for their rent.

Earlier this year, after reading the account above, California State Senator Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) responded by introducing Senate Bill (SB) 1055 that would require landlords to continue to accept rent by check or money order.

Yesterday, SB 1055 passed the California State Senate by a 37 to 0 vote.

On August 9th, the bill passed the State Assembly by a 77 to 0 vote.

"A growing number of landlords are no longer accepting checks or money orders from tenants," Lieu, D-Torrance, said about the bipartisan 38-0 vote in support of Senate Bill 1055.

"Instead, they have begun to change rental agreements to require tenants - including the elderly, disabled and poor - to pay their rent online."  

SB 1055 has now been sent to Governor Jerry Brown for his signature to allow the bill to be put into law starting in 2013.

The Governor has not taken a position on the bill but he has roughly two weeks to sign the measure, veto it or allow it to become law without his signature.

The Coalition for Economic Survival, along with the Western Center on Law on Poverty, are sponsors of the bill.
