The way he try’s to call her bougee because she wants an indoor bathroom? And it doesn’t sound like she was raised rich, more like she was raised better than Rob and he’s trying to make the leap bigger than what it is. “You’re used to apartments in Dubai and Spain, but in poor America, we use communal bathrooms…” He has no ambitions to better in his life and I hope she see’s that before it’s too late…
Pretty sure whatever he is renting is illegal. I think you have to have a bathroom to rent it as a unit?
I live in LA and I know that there are legal SROs (single room occupancy), but they’re usually converted hotels or other legal dwellings. There’s usually shared bathrooms on the floor. But Rob’s situation feels illegal because the bathroom isn’t even attached to the dwelling. I work in law, so tomorrow I’m going to see if there’s a building code about this.
Oh please report back! I’d be interested to know as he is on tv if it is illegal, LOL. Feels illegal.
Yeah there’s a lawyer in my office who knows about landlord tenant law so I’ll ask him tomorrow. It does feel illegal
If he is not paying any rent it’s not illegal. And I don’t think he has a job. So how could he afford any rent.
I am pretty sure you can have a JADU without a bathroom in the unit as long as they have access to a bathroom elsewhere on the property
I just looked up JADU, and if it is that, there’s a problem still. It says that in a JADU, you can “share a bathroom with the single family home.” The bathroom Rob has is clearly not attached to another dwelling, right? It’s basically an outhouse.
Idk, I am not sure what the law considers shared, if it is on the same property it might count but a JADU is supposed to be attached to the house so maybe the bathroom must be too not sure
SRO=Standing room only in this case.
