Taylor Equities Engaging in deceptive and retaliatory financial practices related to housing. Los Angeles California

I am filing this complaint against Taylor Equities LLC, RH Charnock LLC, and Wilshire Properties (owners/managers of 11173 Charnock Road, Los Angeles, CA 90034) for engaging in deceptive and retaliatory financial practices related to housing.

Despite the lease stating that utilities are included in my rent, the property management attempted to bill me for utilities—an unauthorized and unlawful charge. When I filed a successful complaint with the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), resulting in a rent reduction and partial restitution for denied access to my parking and storage units, management retaliated by issuing a suspicious “Emergency Request Cancellation Fee” for the exact amount I had been awarded.

This appears to be a deliberate attempt to undermine the LAHD’s ruling and retaliate financially. The charge remains on my account despite my repeated attempts to dispute it, and it has caused both financial distress and emotional harm, which has been documented by my medical provider.

The landlord has also refused to clarify whether the building receives any form of government or HUD subsidy. If they are participating in such programs while violating lease terms and retaliating against tenants, this could represent a serious misuse of public funds.

I am requesting an investigation into the following:

• The legitimacy of these charges and any violations of tenant financial protections.

• Whether these acts constitute retaliatory billing or deceptive practices under federal consumer protection laws.

• The landlord’s potential misuse of federal funds or failure to disclose terms that impact tenants financially.

Attached and available upon request are:

• Billing records, lease copies, and written notices

• LAHD ruling documentation

• Medical statements linking landlord behavior to harm

• A detailed violation log and communication history

This behavior demonstrates predatory financial conduct, especially harmful to tenants who are vulnerable or may qualify as disabled.
