My state is California. We have lived here for 5 years and just got the latest notice sent to us through the mail, not registered but whatever, and this will bring the increases in the last 5 years to over $500.00. We are senior citizens. We've had our car broken into twice despite the fact that we are behind gates and have a secure door at the front of the building. The door is always left open, there is no parking EVER in front for guests, we have a 3 level hike from the subterranean parking with groceries, no elevator, and on and on. I know this complex has been paid off for many years but they keep citing increase in their expenses. I don't see where. They didn't even heat the pool this summer. A few months ago we asked for new paint and carpet and were told no. The only thing they have done for us is to replace a broken dishwasher.
Doesn't this seem exorbitant? Also, How do I find out if we are in a rent-controlled area of the L.A. area? Thanks so much.
