The address the building uses is the lot that is not rent controlled. The APN is tied to 2 address . Fishy?
A:
In California, the application of AB 1482, which imposes rent caps and just-cause eviction rules, can be complex, especially in cases where properties span multiple lots with different zoning or classification. The fact that your apartment building sits on two lots, one subject to AB 1482 and the other not, is indeed unusual and warrants further investigation.
The use of a single address and APN (Assessor's Parcel Number) for both lots might be an administrative decision, but it doesn't necessarily determine the applicability of rent control under AB 1482. The key factor is whether the lot on which the building sits is subject to AB 1482. If part of the building is on a lot that is covered by AB 1482, then the provisions of this act could apply to units on that specific lot.
It would be advisable to review the specific details of the property, including how the building spans the lots and the legal descriptions of the lots. If there is ambiguity or inconsistency in how the property is classified, it might be necessary to seek clarification from local housing authorities or a legal professional.
Remember, understanding the exact legal standing of your property in relation to AB 1482 is crucial. This information is important for both landlords and tenants to ensure compliance with state laws and regulations.
