[WSBARP] Did I miss something? Bridge Program?!?!?!?

Thu Jul 1 10:48:40 PDT 2021

How about notices of sale of real property by owner.  Are they required to be 60 days and does the landlord have to personally sign?
thanks

Hi Annie, 

Our understanding and that of a group of LL/T attorneys I spoke with tonight is that you can start issuing 60 day notices of rent increase notices July 1st, assuming you do not have any city restrictions.

  LL/T lawyers ... I am getting a bunch of questions about giving notice for rent increases and want to be sure I've got this correct.   
  Rent can be increased AFTER July 31 but no rent increase can take effect without 60 days notice. 
  Is that correct?  Or can a 60 day notice of rent increase be sent tomorrow? 
  Thank you!!!  Annie

      This reminds of when the feds greatly revised the bankruptcy laws to make it harder to declare bankruptcy.  The bankruptcy rules got so complicated, byzantine, and frustrating that many bankruptcy practitioners left the field.  I’m getting phone calls from potential clients with units in other counties because they can’t find an attorney in their own county who wants to address this morass.  

    Having been one of the bankruptcy attorneys that left the field, I don't think that description of what happened is quite accurate.

    For me it was primarily two concerns.  First, that automobile loans would have to be reaffirmed or the car returned, with reaffirmation requiring the attorney to attest that reaffirmation was not an undue hardship.  Having only reaffirmed one auto loan in my entire career where the vehicle was modified for handicap use, I did not want that repeated ethical dilemma.  That was particularly true given the fact that many auto loans are negotiated at auto dealers and hardly on the best terms.  Congress completely sold out on that one.  Unfortunately our state legislature had sold out several years earlier and did away with statutory provisions preventing collection of a deficiency on such loans.  Banks are apparently very good at dishing out money to politicians. 

    Second was provisions allowing creditors to come after debtors' attorneys personally, akin to CR 11, but on much looser standards.  Fortunately the courts pretty much shut that one down, but I did not know that in advance.

    As to others leaving, that was likely also due to a severe drop off in case filings due to the press completely misrepresenting the effect of the changes.  Everyone and their brothers who even thought the word bankruptcy filed before the new Act went into effect, whether they needed to or not.  There was a long dry spell in filings.
