LOS ANGELES- A brief summary of how to discriminate against your tenants. Based on documents to the City Clerk public agenda item,
https://cityclerk.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2026/26-1200-S19_PC_PM_05-26-2026.pdf
Owner agent Thomas Khammar is admitting that the accessible unit peephole,
accessible or tandem parking stall, and accessible intercom and intercom monitor are
necessary housing services. I disagree, however, with his assertion that I have to pay for such
services.
UNIT PEEPHOLE
There is already a peephole at the unit door. That peephole was replaced in December 2025,
I can supply the letter verifying that, and there was no additional charge or fee that the owner
claimed. In addition, there is a slot for US Mail that has been unused for years, and that slot
could be used for the installation of a wheelchair accessible peephole. In addition, there’s no
provision in the rental agreement that I would have to pay for such a unit peephole as Khammar
alleges. As such, an order for the PEEPHOLE to be replaced, Khammar would have to give me a
reduction in rent, which I would say $300 would cover. The only provision in the rent
agreement is that I have to pay for repairs if something was broken and was my fault,
so therefore that does not apply here. In particular, Khammar alleges in his March 13 letter
that “the installation cost of the device is at your own expense. You will be responsible for
direct payment to the vendor for all associated costs”. Since there is no related discussion of
this in my rental agreement, the March 13, 2026, position of Khammar constitutes illegal
harassment and illegal rent increase.
“The owner receives in rents
about $37,000 per month.”
ACCESSIBLE HANDICAPPED STALL
In addition, there’s no provision in the rental agreement that I would have to pay for such
parking stall as Khammar alleges. As such an order for a tandem parking stall, Khammar would
have to give me a reduction in rent, which I would say $150 per month would cover it, since
That is the fee he quotes. I note that in the recent past, 2010-now, all parking is included in rent paid, so there is no extra fee or charge outside the rent agreement. I have checked with other tenants, and no one is paying for parking, single or tandem stall. At one time the owner in 2014 said in writing $50 per month for tandem parking, but I paid the $50, and the stall was not supplied. In the rental agreement, there is no requirement that I pay for parking, even though the agreement says Parking Space and indicates “2” which could be interpreted as parking for
two cars. Nevertheless, the rental agreement does not require me to make any type of
payment or agreement to pay for an accessible handicap parking stall. The owner has not
provided any proof that providing the handicap parking stall or tandem parking —or any of my
requests—would cause an undue financial burden. I previously from 2010 to 2014 was assigned to a tandem parking stall, and there was no charge outside of the rent agreement. There’s also no provision in the rent agreement that would allow the owner to charge for parking.
THE INTERCOM
In addition, there’s no provision in the rental agreement that I would have to pay for such
intercom or indoor monitor or interface as Khammar alleges. The imposition of the fee by
Khammar is harassment and an illegal rent increase. If Khammar can figure out what the cost of
the unit interface or monitor would be, perhaps $100 for the unit plus monthly internet cost, then let Khammar (Hi Point 1522 LLC) give us a $100 per month rent reduction in order to pay for the indoor monitor or interface. The intercom installed in 1972 was not a separate cost to me. The intercom installed in 2014 did not require a separate cost from me. The intercom installed in 2023 does not show that the owner charged me a fee to use it or asked me to pay for the missing parts (interface or indoor monitor) to use it, until now.
I do note that all of these reasonable housing service requests are also spelled out in various
building codes, such as the city of Los Angeles building code, which describes the accessible wheelchair height peephole, handicapped parking stall, and the Intercom system as accessibility requirements.
The owner can easily switch my parking stall and repaint the lines or numbering, with no or
minimal cost involved. My rental agreement pays for the cost of repairs, and all three services
requested are repair issues.
The owner is using federal and city tax resources and monies and committing fraud and discrimination. The government, especially HUD, should not continue giving the property owner money to deny housing services and deny reasonable accommodations to me (and roommate).
The owner receives in rents about $37,000 per month from this building. His property taxes are about $12,000 per month on this property. Net profit about $25,000 per month x 12 months = $300,000 per year.
