The Apartment tenant protection law

Los Angeles has an inspector that inspects rented apartments. If you hav peeling paint, lose or wbbly lavatories or wobbly water heaters the inspectors will find them and cite the landlord.

Today we went to my friends apartment to survey the amount of work needed for his apartment. We cleaned out the clothes dryer lint catcher, and helped move in a couch to the upstairs.

I will have to return there this week to fix the water heater vent and support the lavatory properly. For this job I got a free lunch and dinner, and did not have to drive to the site. Being a freelance worker is not too bad but sometimes I worry if I can fix the place or not.
