As the city requested, I provided (numerous) rent increase notices
as well as the pertinent notice for December 18, 2025, which falls
within the time period of the 188795 ordinance. City employees
Agassi Topchian and Adrid Bender closed the case in writing August
27, 2026, and wrote in part mentioning the period prior to February
2, 2026 and said that the notices of rent increase for 2024 and 2025
were in compliance. (Editor note: these were not the subject of the
complaint I filed). Further Topchain , Manager of Mayor Karen Bass,
states, “moving forward, any future rent increase you receive can no
longer include an additional increase based on the landlords
payment of utilities, unless the LA municipal code is further
amended.”
Topchain essentially ignores that I have provided to him the rent
notice of increase of December 18, 2025, which would fall under the
188, 795 ordinance. I’ve asked Topchian by email and voicemail to
issue a corrected notice and take into account the notice of rent
increase that was served on December 18, 2025. There has no been
no response from Topchian.
