(Carefully) Changing the Way We Think About Banking

Like many of you, I’m sure, I can remember days when banking was conducted exclusively inperson. I can still remember when I opened my first checking account at 14 years old, shaking the branch manager’s hand after signing my signature on my card and opening the account with my first deposit. To this day, I enjoy filling out deposit slips and using my selfinking endorsement stamp to manually process checks.

Nevertheless, times have changed, and in-person banking will soon be a relic; a memento of the old way of doing business. David Rogers, from the Columbia School of Business recently lamented in his Digital Marketing Customer Engagement Course that bank customers in the United Kingdom only visit their retail branch approximately once a year!

These days, ACH and debit card payments are extremely fast and resource efficient. In fact, just earlier this month a well-known financial institution stopped charging ACH fees for electronic transfers altogether for any transactions other than same day wires. Property management software applications now pair with third party vendors, like Zego, which have portals, enhancing residents’ ability to pay their rent online.

What does all this mean for you, the property manager? It means you get a nice, neat, batch report early the next morning and your management ledgers are often automatically updated.

Unfortunately, it isn’t all fun and games and on-time payments. As electronic transfers and direct deposits quickly become the preferred method of paying rental obligations, utility bills, property taxes and more, incidences of theft skyrocket.

Recently, my own company had a nefarious entity reproduce copies of our paper checks and attempted to deposit and/or cash them. In fact, incidences of financial misrepresentation of all kinds are increasing at alarming rates. I was

shocked to hear that a well-known property management company noted that approximately 40% of the proofof-income documents provided by prospective residents were manufactured or forged.

This is why it is critical AAOC members take advantage of the diverse range of courses and webinars AAOC proudly offers. The “Detect Fraud, Decrease Evictions” webinar recently presented by Daniel Cooper of Snappt is a prime example. As a benefit to our members, many of our educational classes and other webinars are recorded and available for viewing at AAOC.com.

A lot has changed since AAOC began supporting and advocating for property owners and operators more than 60 years ago. But, rest assured, we will continue to provide quality representation, operational guidance, educational programing, and other member benefits and resources for decades to come, to ensure you are able to confidently evolve as a housing provider.

At the end of the day, none of us like waiting in lines, writing paper checks, and using self-inking gadgets that much.

Yours, truly and respectfully

Further Examination of California’s Proposed “Right” to Housing

According to multiple housing rights advocates and the author of Assembly Constitutional Amendment 10 (Haney-D-San Francisco) our state is to recognize there is a fundamental human right to adequate housing for all Californians. The sponsors and author of the amendment states that this right is a “shared obligation” of state and local governments to “respect, protect and fulfill this right” on a non-discriminatory and equitable basis. Further, the wording of the constitutional amendment states that in order for this “right” to be achieved, that government is to “progressively” approach this goal to full realization by all appropriate means, including the adoption of laws that utilize all “maximum” and available resources.

Existing policies of California state that every human has a right to safe, clean, affordable, and accessible adequate water. Years ago, the Legislature declared that housing is of vital statewide importance to the health, safety,

and welfare of the residents of the state because:

• Decent housing is an essential force in helping people achieve self-fulfillment.

• Unsanitary, unsafe, overcrowded or congested dwelling accommodations or a lack of decent housing constitute conditions which cause and increase in, and spread of disease and crime.

• A healthy housing market is one in which Californians have housing choices and opportunities where they may effectively choose within a free marketplace.

• A healthy housing market is necessary both to achieve a heathy economy and to avoid an unacceptable level of unemployment.

Assembly Member Haney argues that creating this new “human right…brings it up in comparison to other rights that we’ve said are nonnegotiable for us.”

The members of the Assembly Housing Committee further Mr. Haney’s position by stating that a “right to housing does not require the state or local governments to provide housing to every person, nor does it allow people to automatically demand housing from the government.”

One thing we must conclude from the statement from the author and committee is that if governments are not to provide for housing, who will? The answer: private industry.

Let’s follow the path of the proponents of the Constitutional amendment. Should a right to rental housing be added to the California Constitution, where state and local governments would have an affirmative obligation to proactively ensure that Californians have access to housing? Land use policies would be modified or added. Zoning would change. Qualifications to occupy housing could or would change to further fair housing objectives. This could include new tenant protections, housing prices would be readdressed, preserving private housing, housing subsidies and progressive tax policies would be required. It is argued that a right to housing would expose state and local government to lawsuits if those entities did not take action to fulfill the right to adequate housing for all.

ACA 10 also establishes the right to housing as a shared obligation of state and local governments and requires the realization of the right by all appropriate means to the maximum of available resources. To do this, the governments would be required to “progressively” work towards that right. This argument is based on recognizing that government is not devoting all of the necessary financial resources available to resolve the lack of affordable housing. While the state and local governments have invested, for example, in homeless (unhoused) responses and in affordable housing production over the past

several years, we must recognize that we have barely scratched the surface. Should housing become a right, there are limitations on the amount that state and local governments could spend to fulfill the right because of the existing obligations and constraints on available funds. Or should we say, until and unless ACA 10 is approved by two-thirds of the Legislature and the people of the state of California.

Interestingly, the Assembly HCD Committee analysis argues:

“This ACA would declare a right to housing. Unlike a right to shelter, a right to housing would mean housing is provided across the continuum of need and not exclusively within the shelter system.”

We are not clear on the meaning and definitional difference of a right to housing versus a right to shelter. Housing is shelter and shelter is housing.

Some argue that California is a

housing first state. To that end, the requirement would ensure that a right to housing is not interpreted as a right to shelter. We reach a different conclusion, however.

Proponents of the state’s Housing First policy goal is to provide permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness, that ending their homelessness serves as a platform from which they can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life. They also believe that Housing First is offset in large part by reductions in the use of crises services, including shelters, jails, ambulances, and hospitals. Many state and local programs utilize these approaches to address the complex issue of addressing homelessness. As we know, however, homelessness continues to overwhelm the response system and far surpasses the affordable housing stock in many cities and counties, despite recent government investments in homelessness programs.

According to the ACLU, “It is clear

that Californians support a right to housing. A 2020 poll showed that 66% of all Californians support a state constitutional amendment guaranteeing the human right to housing. California voters have approved more than 500 constitutional amendments, including fundamental civil rights and legislators have enacted new rights-based laws in a variety of areas. For example, under California’s right to education, the government must provide equal access to public education and the right requires state and local governments to fund public schools.”

Do you agree with the ACLU’s arguments? Of course not!

And this is the reason why we are strongly opposed to ACA 10.

ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE WATCH

Here We Go Again. Another Rent Control Initiative in 2024

Anyone who grocery shopped, went to Target, or visited any major shopping center earlier this year probably ran into an all too familiar sight—and one that raised the alarm bells for many of us.

Signature gatherers—trying to collect signatures for a rent control initiative.

Many of you called AAOC to let us know what you were encountering— most of you were concerned that it was another local attack on the rental housing industry.

Thank you for reaching out, by the way.

The good news—it was not a local effort.

The bad news—it was a statewide effort.

The worse news—the statewide effort was again being driven by Michael Weinstein using AIDS Healthcare Foundation funding.

The irritating news—we knew he would spend whatever Foundation money was necessary to get the initiative qualified.

In late July we received confirmation that the initiative had officially qualified for the November 2024 ballot.

Which is why it is time for a refresher.

What has AAOC done about this effort?

We became aware of this issue last November and immediately initiated conversations with our fellow apartment associations up-and-down the state, as well as with the California Rental

Housing Association (CalRHA)—our state association—and with the National Apartment Association (NAA) —our national association. Together, we have been conferring with business leaders in the state primarily through an organization called the California Business Round Table (CBRT), as well as like-minded organizations such as the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association

The groups have been actively developing the campaign against this initiative and crafting the messaging about rent control and the wide-ranging threat its expansion poses. You may have also seen AAOC’s editorials in the past in the Orange County Register, LA Daily News, and the other Southern California News Group papers. Additionally, editorials have started to appear in publications throughout the state about the negative impacts of rent control—most recently the Orange County Register Editorial Board published an editorial calling rent control “A Bad Idea That Won’t Go Away.”

As the campaign develops there will be many opportunities for AAOC members to get involved and join the fight against this ballot initiative.

Our clock has already started...It is time for you to start yours!

Haven’t we done this before?

Yes, and this will be the third time in four elections that Michael Weinstein has cost California business owners— as well as the AIDS patients his foundation is charged with serving—tens of

millions of dollars by trying to pass a bad policy that Californian’s do not want. The policy was twice rejected by voters:

• In 2018, as Proposition 10, nearly 60% of voters said NO to rent control; both sides spent a total of $104 million on the campaign.

• In 2020, as Proposition 21, again with 60% of voters saying NO to rent control, both sides spent a total of $123 million on the campaign.

Meanwhile, there is AB 1482, the 2019 legislation that does, in effect, establish rent control on most rental properties statewide.

And, yes, in countless studies, articles and opinion pieces, rent control has been routinely rejected as a policy to pursue. Heck, even NPR reported it doesn’t work

So, why are we going down this road again? Some people refuse to accept the reality that rent control, as a policy, is not wanted, does not work, and creates more problems than it claims to solve.

So, what is the likelihood we will beat this initiative?

Well, if the past is any indication, we should be looking good. We have twice defeated statewide rent control initiatives by a 60–40 split. Additionally, the proponents doubled their spending between 2018 and 2020 and did not move the needle with the voters.

Support also shifted between 2018 and 2020 when several construction trades came out to oppose the 2020

B y C hi P A hlswede , V i C e P residen T of e x T ern A l A ff A irs
10 Apartment News www.aaoc.com August 2023

effort. Even Governor Gavin Newsom opposed Proposition 21.

However, there are two major factors to be aware of.

We were only seven months into the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 when voters rejected Proposition 21. Since then, there has been an onslaught of articles from the state’s major news outlets about soaring rents, struggling renters, homelessness, and evictions without cause being on the rise.

Additionally, between 2018 and 2020 supporters doubled how much they spent on the campaign. Again, the main funding source has been the AIDS Healthcare Foundation whose president, Michael Weinstein, recent said he “…will never give up on expanding rent control.”

OK, so what will this rent control initiative cost us to defeat?

This is where it gets scary.

Over $80 million was spent on each of the last two campaigns to defeat the rent control initiatives. That is a total of over $160 million.

The campaigns to pass the rental control initiatives totaled about $65 million, and approximately 95 percent of the funding came from AIDS Healthcare Foundation—the group whose leader has stated that he will never give up on rent control.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation measures its revenues and expenditures in the Billions—annually.

They have the resources and the commitment to get this initiative passed.

The goal of the rent control opposition is once again to raise at least $80 million to defeat this rental-housing industry-killing initiative.

We have one year to do it.

So, what should we do?

That is the question, isn’t it?

Orange and Riverside Counties represent about 14% of California’s population. AAOC’s members represent many local rental markets and businesses that support and service the

rental housing industry.

With an investment of only:

• $5 per unit, per month, plus

• $10 per employee, per month, plus

• $20 per business, per month

AAOC members alone could potentially raise approximately $6.5 million —or about seven percent of what is going to be needed to fight this initiative statewide.

While this may not work for every-

one’s budget—it should provide a framework by which we seek to fundraise what is necessary to fight and defeat this initiative.

What AAOC is asking you to do at this point is:

1. Calculate what rent caps below inflation would do to your properties and business operations.

2. Determine how much you are

Questions & Answers

Seems like the rental market is cooling a bit and I’m seeing more “late” payments than usual. I lucked out during COVID and none of my tenants failed to pay, but last month I had two late payments and it’s now the eighth of the month and two of my residents still haven’t paid. As I said, my tenants have been great and I really don’t want to lose them, but I’m not comfortable ignoring the late payments. I’m wondering whether it’s time for a conversation, or time to serve them with a notice.

The time for a friendly conversation has passed. We are now in the second week of the month. Trying to talk to them about it at this point will only solidify their belief that paying late is acceptable. Moreover, it delays payment even further. The best approach is to serve both a three-day notice to pay rent for the base rent and a three-day notice to perform or quit for the late fees. (Keep in mind the late fees must be provided for in the rental agreement and must contain specific language; otherwise, it will be deemed an “illegal late fees provision.”) Service of the notice won’t necessarily cause you to lose your “good” tenants. They are still able to pay you within the three-day period to keep their tenancy intact. But it will remind them that they need to pay the rent on time or face the possibility that their tenancy will end, causing a level of disruption in their lives they don’t really want. There’s flexibility built into the system. You can always stop the process any time you want by

allowing the resident to pay you what is owed or working with them through a tight spot in their life if they’ve always been on time in the past. Still, it’s the service of the 3-day notice that gets their attention and lets them know you won’t accept being put at the back of the line when it comes to paying their monthly bills.

I have a relatively new tenant who has been with me for six months now. When she first moved in, she deducted a small amount of money from her rent after living there only two weeks. She told me she had to fix a few things in the unit. I wasn’t happy about it, but I ignored it because it was a relatively small amount and the repairs were really minor. But every month since then, she has done the same thing. Every month the rent is a bit short because she claims she had to fix something. When I asked her about it and why she wasn’t telling me about the repairs, she told me that California law says she can “repair and deduct” for anything wrong in his apartment. Is this true?

In short—no. Your tenant either misunderstands the law or is intentionally taking advantage of it.

California law provides that a resident may make repairs and deduct the costs of the repair from the rent only in limited situations, after certain criteria has been met. First, the tenant has to give notice of the problem to the landlord, as well as provide a reasonable amount

of time to fix it. Moreover, the repairs can’t be minor issues. Only serious defects that make the premises “uninhabitable” will allow the tenant the legal right to make the repair (in the event the landlord ignores it after the notice) and deduct the costs from the rent. Additionally, a tenant may only use this remedy twice in any twelvemonth period, and the maximum deduction amount each time is one month’s rent. Assuming you haven’t waived any rights or allowed your tenant to believe this behavior is acceptable, it may be a good idea to explain the parameters of the law to the tenant and let them know that any deduction taken without compliance with the law’s requirements will result in you serving a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit for the amount of rent deducted.

I have a tenant who is always late with the rent. Every month is a different excuse. Moreover, she is a pain in the rear end to the neighboring tenants! I just want her to leave, but every time I serve a 3-day notice, she finds a way to come up with the rent. Do I have to accept the money if she attempts to pay me within the three days?

Maybe, but maybe not; it depends. Most leases require rent to be paid on the first of the month and state that it is delinquent if paid after that. That means that in most cases you can serve a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit on the second of the month, (provided the

B y m i C h A el A. B renn A n , e sq B renn A n l Aw f irm LEGAL CORNER 12 Apartment News www.aaoc.com August 2023

first didn’t fall on a weekend or holiday). Once you serve a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, the tenant is obligated to tender the entire amount demanded in the notice, within three days of it being served. If she tries to pay you the entire amount demanded within the threeday period, you are legally obligated to accept the rent and she has “cured” the breach. However, you are not obligated to accept any amount that is less than the entire amount demanded in the notice, nor are you required to accept any amount once the 3 days expires. With regard to being a pain in the rear end to the neighboring tenants, you should ask them to provide written complaints about her behavior, especially if it is egregious and causing your good tenants to contemplate moving. Assuming her behavior is a violation of the lease terms, or rises to the level of a “nuisance,” you may be able to terminate her tenancy even if she does manage to pay the rent each month.

My wife and I own a small apartment building and we still do things the oldfashioned way. We run our ads for the apartment on the internet and ask people who reply to come to the building if they want to see the unit. We like to give them the application in person after we’ve had a chance to meet them in person. Recently, I had a young man show up who looked like he was on death’s doorstep. He looked like he hadn’t had a shave or shower in days, his clothes were dirty, and his car looked like his rent checks would be going to the mechanic rather than me. Long story short, my gut told me he would be a bad tenant, so I never offered him an application after he looked at the unit. Of course, as soon as he left, my son told me that I may have illegally discriminated against the young man and that I should have given him an application. Is my son correct? Am I required to give everyone an application, even if my gut tells me not to?

In short, yes. You should provide an application to any adult requesting one,

provided you have a unit for rent. But that doesn’t mean you have to accept the applicant as your tenant. You are still legally permitted to charge a tenantscreening fee and qualify them before making a decision about accepting them as a resident. Provided your applicant criteria is reasonable and non-discriminatory, it should be applied to everyone who applies and will protect you from claims that you engaged in discriminatory behavior. It’s not uncommon for Fair Housing testers to reply to internet ads and to speak, write, act, or dress in a manner designed to come across as “different” or a little “off-putting” in order to see how you respond.

Dear Maintenance Men,

I have installed vinyl floor squares a number of times but I can’t seem to get it square with the walls. It always looks like the floor is slightly cocked to one side. Do you have a procedure on how to start the first tile straight and end up with a square looking job?

Dear Noah:

Complete all your floor prep work; be sure the surface is clean, dry and free from dust and debris. Measure the length and width of the floor, divide each measurement by two, and mark the floor at the intersecting lines. Snap a chalk line along the length and width of the floor using the previous measurements. This will produce a cross dividing the floor into quadrants. Now check your chalk line for squareness using a carpenter’s square at the intersection of the two lines. Next, dry fit your tile in both directions to determine your run. Keep the following in mind—adjust your chalk reference lines to allow for full tiles at high traffic tile termination points such as dining room to kitchen, hallway to bathroom, etc. Ideally, you will want to use no less than one half of a tile at any wall or termination point if possible. Start your first tile at the cross section of the two chalk lines. This will allow you to use two perpendicular straight lines to align your first tile. Follow each chalk line, putting down tile until you have formed a cross dividing the floor into

quadrants. Continue gluing down your tile in each quadrant by going down one axis and across the other.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I am having trouble with a 40-gallon water heater in my building’s laundry room. The pilot will not stay lit, or if I do get the pilot lit, it will go out after the first water heating cycle. Is the problem with the thermocouple, and if it is, how do I repair it? Jose

Dear Jose:

When water heaters will not stay lit or will not cycle on-and-off properly, it is usually the fault of the thermocouple. The thermocouple is a safety device that when it senses the pilot flame is out, shuts off the gas supply to the water heater. In your case, the thermocouple itself may have failed which will trigger the built-in failsafe and shut off the gas supply. Thermocouples are simple devices that are easy to replace. If you are not comfortable working on a gas appliance, please contact a plumber or appliance repair professional. To replace the thermocouple, first turn off the gas to the heater and let the firebox cool down for 15-to-20 minutes before starting work. The thermocouple is located in the firebox next to or alongside the pilot assembly. It will be either silver or copper colored and look like a small pencil with a copper tube or wire attached. Unscrew the bracket and slide the thermocouple out of the holder. Now, follow the copper tube or wire to

the control valve. Use a small wrench to remove the nut holding the tube in place and remove the thermocouple wire from the control valve. Take the thermocouple to your local hardware or plumbing store and ask for a replacement. They should cost less than 10 dollars. To install, just reverse the disassembly procedure. Turn on the gas and re-light the water heater.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I have windowless bathrooms in my building. Moisture builds up causes mildew and wall damage in the bathrooms. They do have vent fans but they don’t seem to do the job. How can I solve this problem? Bill

Dear Bill:

The first thing to check is whether your vent fans are working and not clogged with lint or dust. If the fan is operating properly, check the Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) of air movement. The minimum number should be 50 CFM. If the bathroom is getting more than the average amount of use, you may want to replace the existing fan with one that has a higher CFM rating. We recommend using at least a 120 CFM fan. And equally important, many bathrooms have two wall switches, one for the light and the other for the fan. If this is the case, we recommend combining the two switches into one. That way, when the resident switches on the light, the fan will also come on automatically. We find that most residents will not

turn on the fan if it has its own switch.

5 Ways Managed Wi-Fi Drives Value for Multifamily Properties

Property owners have an opportunity to deliver a better living experience and value to residents with property-wide Wi-Fi.

Internet connectivity is essential for everyone, yet of the more than 30% of U.S. residents who live in apartments and multifamily units, 50% report experiencing network issues, according to Parks Associates. In addition, lining up the service with local broadband providers can be cumbersome, expensive and challenging for residents to maintain their own equipment.

It’s not only an attractive benefit for residents, but it also drives higher revenue and value for the property.

Providing managed Wi-Fi in multifamily communities offers several benefits for property owners that can increase net operating income (NOI), improve cap rates and raise overall

property values. Here are five ways offering managed Wi-Fi is a win for property owners:

1. It attracts residents. The convenience of having internet service built in with plug-and-play connectivity is desirable for prospective residents. The ease of consolidated billing is one factor, as is the ability to move about the community and maintain connectivity. Plus, with no service hookups to schedule, multiple accounts to deal with or any equipment to purchase or maintain, it’s no wonder nine out of 10 prospective residents won’t even consider a property if the connection isn’t

reliable, according to a renter preference report from the National Multifamily Housing Council and Grace Hill. That makes it a competitive differentiator that helps properties to fill vacancies.

2. It supports resident retention. Regardless of whether the property owner is responsible for network issues, lackluster service still reflects poorly on the property, leaving residents dissatisfied. Worse yet, when residents have individual service directly from the internet service provider (ISP), property owners can be powerless to solve residents’

5 Ways — continued on page 18

August 2023 www.aaoc.com Apartment News 17

connectivity problems, and ISPs have neither the incentive nor the resources to remedy issues with a property owner until the contract between them is up for renewal. The only recourse a property owner has based on bad service to their residents is to switch ISPs at the time of contract renewal, which can range from three to 20 years. Owning and controlling the Wi-Fi system allows property owners to ensure better service for residents and have influence with ISPs providing bulk service to quickly address issues.

3. It drives new net revenue. According to Parks Associates, three out of four renters are willing to pay higher rent in exchange for bundled broadband. That means property owners can charge a premium for Wi-Fi service, and even offer different level service

packages of provisioned bandwidth for residents who need more or less bandwidth. This creates a revenuegenerating opportunity with equipment that’s already in place to increase NOI and can boost property values.

4. It lowers the cap rate. Investors use the cap rate to calculate the risk of investing in a property, and in general, the lower the cap rate, the lower the risk, and therefore, the better the investment. Because managed Wi-Fi increases NOI and property value, it drives property cap rates lower, making a property more attractive to potential investors.

5. It enables smart home technology. According to Parks Associates, nearly 40% of households already own a smart home device, and two out of three prospective residents say preinstalled devices are an important factor when selecting a new residence. Deploying managed

Wi-Fi across the property enables seamless integration of things like smart outlets, thermostats, light bulbs, appliances, water leak detectors, cameras and more to increase energy efficiency and security, regardless of whether they’re built-in as an amenity or owned by residents. Plus, many managed Wi-Fi hardware systems use power-over-ethernet (PoE), making them much more energy efficient—another attractive feature for prospective renters.

With the growing demand for ubiquitous connectivity, providing managed Wi-Fi access for residents is becoming just as important as water and electricity. As more properties begin offering this amenity as part of their package, that means it’s also becoming an essential offering for property owners in a competitive market.

Chronicles of an Executor: Navigating the Turbulent Skies of Estate Administration —A New Series

As many of you know, Bill Gorman, my father, passed away in May 2023. He was a remarkable man and a key figure in my life, personally and professionally.

We spent countless hours together, both on the softball field and in the business field of real estate. In 2010, I joined him in his brokerage business, and together we embarked on a journey of building legacy plans for our longterm clients and for my father.

I knew that one day I would be thrust into the role of executor. After so much time working together and helping my father craft his legacy, I thought I would step easily into this new role. Little did I realize how naïve I was in making that assumption!

Serving as an executor is a rare occurrence. Many individuals go through life without ever facing the task of “closing the books” on another person’s financial affairs and helping their heirs forge new financial lives on their own. It is a complex transition made even more challenging by the emotional weight of losing a loved one.

Becoming an executor is like embarking upon a skydiving adventure. You start on the ground and, although nervous, you gain self-confidence as you practice the moves you will need to know. You surround yourself with experts, ask questions, and do everything you can to prepare for the jump. You rehearse the scenario repeatedly until you feel secure in your knowledge.

However, once in the air, you realize that no amount of preparation would ever make you truly ready for the experience. The intensity slowly builds as the plane climbs to the proper altitude. You find yourself questioning what you are doing.

As you look out the open door, you see the ground thousands of feet below. However, the moment you jump out of the plane, that focal point rapidly falls away, and you are hit by a surge of emotions—nausea, anxiety, fear. The gravity of the situation overwhelms you. You realize you are on your own. Although your team might be falling alongside you, ultimately you are responsible for navigating the path to your own safe landing.

In my journey as an executor, I find myself in the early stages of a controlled descent. I have already encountered and skillfully avoided a few potentially costly mistakes, particularly concerning bank accounts and corporations. More on that topic will be covered in future articles.

The entire process is likely to take over a year or longer. At every step, I am learning and journaling my experiences. My plan is to document the highs, lows, and lessons learned, and to share that knowledge in a series of articles for the benefit of the members of the AAOC. While I cannot predict where this adventure will lead, I believe many of you will find value in accompanying me on this journey.

The executor role demands equal parts preparation, resilience, and adapt-

ability. Just like a skydiver in mid-air, you need to confront those unexpected challenges head-on, relying on skills learned and the support of others. My goal is to help you navigate that future by shedding some light on the executor’s role, while providing some practical wisdom and a touch of humor.

Stay tuned for the next article, where we will explore some of the crucial aspects of estate planning and how they lay the foundation for a smoother executorship. We will delve into such topics as creating a comprehensive legacy plan, selecting trusted advisors, and addressing potential pitfalls.

If you have any specific questions or topics that you would like covered in future articles, please send me an email or give me a call. Together, let’s embark on this journey of understanding and demystifying the executor’s role in the implementation of a legacy.

After all, even in the face of gravity, we can find the strength to soar.

Tech Solutions Are the New Amenities— Here’s How Property Managers Can Adapt.

After a global pandemic, the rise of remote work, ballooning home prices and a cost-of-living crisis, many people can no longer afford to buy a home. Others have come to value the flexibility that comes with not being tied to one place long term.

The fact is that renters have fundamentally changed—and they now comprise more than one-third of the U.S. population.

And yet, some would argue that rental housing industry operations haven’t changed very much. Though technology has advanced exponentially in the past few decades, property managers and residents are experiencing the same pain points they always have.

Compounding this problem is a reduced workforce at leasing offices. Much like hospitality teams recovering from the pandemic, onsite teams are still thin, making it even harder to operate and more important to streamline processes.

Proptech companies have been

thinking about this problem, believing that by exploring untapped opportunities in technology and commissioning research into the psychology of renters, the property management industry can evolve in several important ways.

That would be a game changer for renters, yes, but it would also transform the experience of housing providers and property managers. Happier, more comfortable residents mean more ontime payments, fewer damages and repairs, reduced turnover, lower workforce costs and more positive word-ofmouth referrals.

Think Beyond Amenities

Attracting and retaining residents now goes beyond what the physical building offers. For some, a beautiful pool, common area and abundance of elevators and parking spots are no longer considered luxuries—they’re industry standard. And those amenities, while important, fail to help renters where it makes the biggest impact:

Their pockets.

Property managers are now in the position to offer additional amenities in the form of tech solutions that consider their residents’ budgets and lifestyle preferences. In the coming years, this could be what will keep occupancy rates high and make it easier for property managers to manage and run their businesses.

Pay-Later Plans Are Taking Off

The public perception of pay-later plans has evolved. Previously, most consumers using these programs did so because they couldn’t afford to cover a lump sum and needed a financial lifeline. Now, however, consumers of all kinds are choosing pay-later programs for flexibility.

It’s a trend that accelerated during the pandemic, which changed consumer priorities and adjusted the way many people get paid as they increasingly took on consulting, part-time jobs and gig work. No longer bound to

BRIAN BALL CEO, QIRA

rigid monthly or biweekly pay periods, these consumer preferences clash with the traditional schedule of rent being due on the first of the month.

During times of economic uncertainty, consumers facing a $3,000 bill would rather pay a small fee for the convenience and peace of mind of dividing the lump sum, even when they have enough money in their account to cover the whole bill.

Consumers are becoming increasingly accustomed to having pay-later options. Almost every e-commerce platform is including a payment installment option to help customers and attract more consumers. Property managers could adapt by offering renters the option to pay rent in smaller installments, while third-party proptech companies serve as an intermediary in the process, handling the initial upfront payment, shouldering the risk and charging the resident a small fee.

Revamping the Security Deposit

Security deposits give property managers a critical layer of protection against unpaid rent or utilities and damage that goes beyond normal wear and tear. But the large lump sums that are typically required to sign a lease (often one or two months of rent along with the rest of the move-in costs) are becoming unattainable for some renters as they navigate today’s affordability crisis.

Property managers can adapt by offering security deposit alternative programs, in which proptech companies assume the financial risk by managing deposits while residents pay a low monthly fee. The alternative solutions can help properties get coverage for a higher amount than the security deposit, which can help reduce the overall bad debt of the portfolio. Another benefit is that any disputes that arise over property damage can remain between the proptech company and the resident.

This can also reduce the workload

The Dilemma of Rising Property Insurance Costs

The landscape of property ownership in California has undergone significant transformations in recent years, with the implementation of rent caps and the surge in property insurance costs. While the intention behind rent caps was to protect tenants from exorbitant rental prices, the unintended consequence has been the stifling of profitability for apartment owners. When coupled with the escalating burden of property insurance premiums, these restrictions present a considerable challenge for property investors attempting to maintain a sustainable business model.

Insurance Exodus

California’s insurance market has experienced a significant exodus in recent years. Many insurance companies, facing mounting challenges and regulatory burdens, have decided to pack their bags and seek greener pastures elsewhere. The combination of escalating costs for construction and increased litigation has forced insurance providers to reassess their operations in the state and many major insurance carriers have decided to leave permanently.

Additionally, changes in insurance underwriting practices have resulted in stricter criteria for insurability, forcing property owners to invest in costly renovations and upgrades to meet the new requirements. These changes include retrofitting buildings to improve resilience against earthquakes

or implementing fire-resistant measures to mitigate the risks associated with wildfires. The cumulative effect of these expenses has placed a substantial strain on the financial viability of apartment ownership.

The Impact on Apartment Buyers

Navigating the process of securing insurance has become a tedious and time-consuming task. Gone are the days when obtaining insurance was a mere formality a week or even sometimes just days before the closing date on a sale. With the mounting risks and increased scrutiny from insurance companies, it now takes an incredibly long time to secure coverage so whether I’m the real estate agent representing the buyer or the seller, I always recommend that the buyer starts the process as soon as a purchase offer is accepted so that the closing date isn’t delayed. The prolonged duration for obtaining insurance leaves buyers in a state of limbo, unable to proceed with confidence until they have insurance in place.p Furthermore, the soaring cost of insurance for properties has reached such exorbitant levels that it can disrupt the delicate balance of a buyer’s preapproved debt-to-income ratio, potentially disqualifying them from obtaining a loan, or for the savvy investor, it could make the cap rate no longer attractive.

The Impact on Apartment Owners

The departure of insurance companies from California is set to have a

profound impact on apartment owners. The reduced availability of insurance coverage will lead to a shrinking pool of options for housing providers to adequately protect their properties. The limited choices will inevitably result in higher premiums, making it more costly for apartment owners to secure insurance policies.

Rent Control Caps

While rent caps aim to protect tenants from excessive rent increases, they hinder the ability of property owners to respond to rising costs, such as property taxes, maintenance expenses, and now, inflated property insurance premiums. These restrictions impede a property owner’s ability to offset increased operational expenses and make necessary investments in property improvements, thereby jeopardizing the long-term profitability of their apartment holdings. Housing providers, faced with limited potential for increasing revenue, may find it difficult to maintain and improve their properties, ultimately affecting the quality of rental housing available.

The Profitability Conundrum

The combined effect of the insurance exodus and rent control caps poses a significant threat to the profitability of California’s apartment industry. With insurance companies reducing their presence or withdrawing alto-

gether, property owners face challenges in securing affordable and comprehensive coverage. This leaves them exposed to potential liabilities and financial risks.

With insurance premiums soaring and rental income limited by rent caps, property owners find themselves in a precarious financial situation. Many housing providers are left with minimal or negative cash flows, making it chal-

lenging to cover expenses and achieve a reasonable return on investment.

As a consequence, some property owners may be forced to consider alternative measures to recoup their losses such as reducing maintenance and repairs, deferring necessary upgrades, or even contemplating selling their properties. This, in turn, can have adverse effects on the availability and quality of rental housing in California, exacerbating an already strained hous-

ing market.

for property management companies and free up staff to focus on specialized tasks. Managing security deposit funds is time-consuming, and every state has its own guidance on how to manage them. Some require deposits to be held in escrow, some require a letter about the deposit to be sent to residents within a certain number of days. That

means researching a renter’s new address and sometimes even chasing money that’s owed. Multiply that by a community of 300 people with 50 moveouts, and that equals a lot of work.

Property managers can adapt with tech solutions that allow onsite teams to spend their energy on other tasks while security deposit management runs in the background.

renters and streamline the property management process because offering renters a way to reclaim control of their finances shouldn’t have to come at the expense of their relationship with the property owner, nor the owner or management’s interests.

How to Retain Residents in a Falling Market

Sometimes we believe what we want to believe.

Take the positive spin that came out of the National Association of Home Builders recently, which highlighted that apartment occupancy made a surprising comeback at the end of the fourth quarter, even though it was still in negative territory overall.

“Many developers continue to see strong demand for multifamily housing,” said Lance Swank, chairman of NAHB’s Multifamily Council, in a release, even as he acknowledged that “in some markets, supply is catching up to demand.”

The late-year bounce, of course, is a positive data point for multifamily operators to hang their hats on. But the news downplayed the industry’s countervailing forces that could make occupancy an ongoing challenge for months, if not years, to come.

A changed market

Just consider the fact that developers will add 3,300 communities to the U.S. apartment market in 2023, or approximately 590,000 units, according to RealPage. That’s the most apartments to come online since the firm began tracking apartment production in the 1990s.

At the same time, asking rents have been trending down for nearly a year, since peaking in March of 2022. By December, RealPage recorded the fourth consecutive month of an actual rent drops, at 1.6%, and noted the pace of decline was steeper than would be expected due to seasonality alone.

Now, according to Apartment List, the trend has continued into 2023.

The ILS’s national rent index fell another 0.3% in January, while its vacancy index increased to 6.1%, a full percentage point above where it was five months previously. While the corollary of 93.9% occupancy, on average, isn’t cause for alarm, it’s also below the 95% occupancy sweet spot most apartment operators aim for and spotlights how quickly the market has changed.

“2023 could be the first time in years that we see property owners competing for renters, rather than the other way around,” the report concluded.

No more captive rent rolls

How your staff reacts and operates during this time will be critical to determining your overall rate of resident retention. It will mean the difference between holding onto the residents you have who are paying current rates, or seeing an exodus as they look for— and find—a better deal somewhere else.

The reason this is so important at the staff level is because, with the exception of the early pandemic, the current generation of leasing staff have largely worked only in an environment of rising rents.

Indeed, “inviting your residents to move,” with a 5% to 7% annual rent increase became a mantra in the industry. Now, you need to incentivize them to stay.

That means refocusing your staff on the fundamentals of good property

management, while giving them the tools they need to do their jobs. This industry is about meeting a basic human need—shelter. Doing so with an emphasis on quality and value, while balancing the need for the business to remain profitable, is the path sustainability in 2023.

Start with screening

Resident retention in this environment starts before your renters even move in.

A robust tenant screening process that ensures you get the best financially qualified tenants from the get go reduces the amount of preventable turnover in your building.

Of course, that means making sure residents have the income needed to pay the rent, using the traditional, conservative metric of 30% of their gross pay, and not the more inflated 35% that has come into vogue in recent years.

Automated screening application systems can do this for staff automatically, while simultaneously running background and credit checks on potential renters. ID verification— making sure prospects are who they say—is also critical.

But one aspect of the process has traditionally been overlooked in the multifamily industry: vetting income and financial documents to ensure they are real. Without this step, even the best resident screening systems and

Instead of inviting residents to move, entice them to stay.

processes still have a gaping hole.

Rental application fraud exploded during the pandemic, with easily obtainable counterfeit paystubs and bank statements proliferating online. Today, about 12% of rental applications contain some sort of fake documentation, which are hard to spot with the naked eye.

Rental application fraud software, which verifies the digital DNA of documents, can help staff weed them out.

Doing so can cut down on preventable evictions when someone who doesn’t actually make the money they say can’t pay the rent. That not only decreases turnover while upping resident retention, it also avoids the $7,500 in costs tied to the average eviction.

The keys to resident retention

Once residents are properly verified and inside your doors, they are yours to lose. Hold onto them by developing a relationship and focusing on the fundamentals of good property management:

Sweat the small stuff. Move-in welcome kits, bottled water or free coffee in the lobby for residents, complimentary towels at the pool or in the gym and rewards such as a gift card at tenancy anniversaries all go a long way in letting existing tenants know you’re thinking about them. Hand-written notes are particularly effective.

Keep in touch. Moving is stressful, and expensive. Once a resident moves in, check in with them—I’d argue via an actual phone call—to see how everything went. Ask them how they like the apartment, and whether any issues need attention.

Stay on top of maintenance. Surveys consistently show that residents move when the work orders they submit aren’t promptly and effectively addressed. Implement a maintenance tracking system and ensure all work orders are initially responded to within 24 hours and completed within 5 days.

Ask what else you can do. After you’ve fixed whatever needs attention, check in to see what else you can do for the resident. A simple text that says, “I see your work order was completed, is there anything else we can do for you?” will go a far way in building up good will between you and your tenants.

Keep the dialogue going. When renewal is approaching, reach out to residents at least 60 days ahead of time and ask how they are doing, and whether they’ve thought about their renewal plans yet. Invite them to the leasing office to meet one on one, ask them how their living experience has been at the property and if there are any outstanding maintenance items they haven’t been able to call in or request.

Be flexible on renewals. With rents dropping, residents will be wary to extend a lease at an elevated rate. You can counter this by offering long-time residents rent freezes—“We’re happy to renew your lease at its current rate”—or by giving them the choice of a shorter term at just 2.5% more.

Upgrade Your Apartment Building’s Earthquake Safety to Protect Your Investment and Improve Marketability

Most older apartment buildings fall short of today’s standards for earthquake safety and fail to offer the types of interior spaces tenants want.

If your apartment building was constructed before the mid-1970s, it could benefit from an upgrade of both its structural safety and functional design.

Many building owners in these circumstances make the smart move in this situation by renewing interior spaces as a part of their seismic retrofit projects. Optimum Seismic, Inc. can help make this process easier.

The team at Optimum Seismic has performed thousands of retrofit, renovation, and adaptive reuse projects since 1984. Among our projects are: conversion of a historic hotel in downtown San Luis Obispo into a mixed-use project of 48 apartments and retail; transforming the historic Mayfair Hotel in downtown Pomona into apartments and ground-floor retail; and the conversion of several Victorian homes into student housing for the University of Southern California.

In the vast majority of these projects, the need for a seismic retrofit presents the opportunity to reinvent living area inside the building shell: opening interior spaces, making the most use of natural lighting, and enlarging bathroom, kitchen and closet spaces. Sustainable and recycled materials, renewable energy, and energy and water efficient appliances can be used in these projects to appeal to today’s growing population

of environmentally conscious tenants.

Reduce Costs and Disruption

If your building has any structural flaws that may cause it to fail under the intense shaking of a major earthquake, it’s wise to pursue a seismic retrofit to protect your investment and avoid liability.

Seismic retrofits of apartment buildings can be done with minimal disruption to tenants, and the construction period presents the opportunity to incorporate other upgrades in a more cost-effective manner.

Doing multiple projects at once can also save money by eliminating redundancy and reducing the amount of time needed to manage the construction work being done.

Shared equipment and supplies, staffing and storage requirements can also be minimized for greater efficiency when projects are done simultaneously.

Reinvent the Living Space

Apartments built in the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s tend to have an overall boxedin functionality. Kitchens are typically cramped and set apart from the main living area. Hallways are narrow, bathrooms compact, and natural light is limited.

Consider opening these areas to create more expansive spaces by removing partitions and replacing “dead space” with functionality.

This may include creating multipurpose areas to serve blended or multi-generational households, while

optimizing private spaces as well.

Bring the Outside Indoors

Consider the exterior of the building shell and how light and landscaping can be incorporated into the interior design.

Attractive terraces, balconies and large windows can bring natural light indoors and expand the interior livings space to the outdoors.

Incorporate Sustainability

Some of the most sustainable buildings are older structures that have been adapted and retrofitted to extend their usefulness long into the future.

This reduces the environmental impact of demolishing a building, disposing of the debris, and shipping in new products to build the new structure. It also helps to retain much of the historical character of a community, which is another very important aspect of sustainability.

An adaptive reuse project can harness these benefits and do even more by incorporating sustainable materials into the renovation. Consider using iron, wood, recycled aluminum and plastic in the design of your new interior.

These elements can create interesting accents that define living areas and reflect the simplicity and linear look of today’s design standards.

Energy and Water Efficiency

Your building may also need elec-

trical, plumbing and HVAC upgrades. If that’s the case, it’s best to get these improvements done at the same time. You don’t want to make significant upgrades to your building and have to rip them up a few years later when aging utilities fail. Consider making the most of this situation by incorporating the latest in efficiency into your design and adding renewable energy to attract the growing number of tenants for whom this matters.

Think also about incorporating smart technology into your renovation. The ability to activate lights, air-conditioning and other features remotely is a big plus in today’s market.
