Review of K3 Holdings LLC Records Details Aggressive Rent-Raising Tactics in Los Angeles
What happened
Capital & Main reviewed records belonging to K3 Holdings LLC, a landlord based in Beverly Hills. The documents, which were produced during a 2022 federal housing discrimination lawsuit, showed that Angel Escobar and Matt DeBoth worked for K3. They canvassed neighborhoods in Los Angeles, attempting to convince tenants to vacate rent-controlled properties. K3's plan was to pay tenants to leave and subsequently raise the rent substantially for new occupants.
