If I purchase a tri-plex(all tenant occupied paying low monthly), can I kick all them out at one time once I purchase it? Reason being it has rent control(can't raise more than 3% per year). This is in los angeles. What's the law? I want to kick them all out & bring in new tenants with average monthly rental for the area.

If they are leases, you can simply not renew the lease when it comes due, and provide a 30 day notice that you will not renew. Check you local area laws however as rent control laws may hinder even this method.

Have this as part of your sales contract that the property must be void of all tenants at closing. Then the present owner is required to have them removed prior to you taking over the property.
It will also give you a chance to do any repairs necessary if they need any.
Only certain parts of Los Angeles County are under rent control. You should call the county housing office, give them the address and see if where you are purchasing is under rent control.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

If there's a MTM rental on all the apts, yes you can, but the ones that have a lease, you have to wait until the lease is completed or they violate their lease.
If I were in a rent control area, the ones that go out are re-let in how many days????...ask your local county board that controls that and get the fine points and re-rent accordingly or leave vacant for awhile.

Depends on whether or not they have signed leases. If they have such leases, they transfer to you as the new owner, and you are bound to honor them until they expire. If they are month-to-month, you may give them a thirty day notice to vacate. If they don't leave, then you face eviction process. However, why kick them out? Just raise their rents as soon as possible. If they can't handle it, they will leave on their own.

LA city only allows eviction for just cause. That means that tenant can only be evicted for not paying rent extreme damage things like that. You want more rent money is not just cause.

You should have requested to get the house empty before you close on the property. Now you have to serve them and go Thu the court system.

Better find that out before you commit. California is VERY tough on landlords.

Look at their leases (all three) and see what it says on the subject.
