Bernard Hoffman: Landlord or White Collar Criminal?

by Tenants of Bernard Hoffman's Properties Wednesday, Jan. 02, 2008 at 11:20 PM

Bernard Hoffman will continue to unlawfully deduct from his tenants' security deposits until each stand up and fight for what is right.

"If it weren't landlords doing it, the culprits would be spending years in prison for felony grand theft embezzlement." - www.caltenantlaw.com/Deposit.htm

Bernard Hoffman owns many apartment buildings around Los Angeles. He is notorious for taking unfounded deductions from his tenants' security deposits. In many cases, Mr. Hoffman has falsified the date of receipt of his tenants' notice to vacate letters to justify charging extra days of rent. Mr. Hoffman has also deducted for bogus repairs that could not be verified despite the repeated requests of various tenants. He specifically rents to college-aged students and recent graduates, banking on the fact many do not know their legal rights or have the resources to take him to court. Due to this fact, many tenants have unfortunately cut their losses. In many tenants' opinions, Bernard Hoffman is nothing more than a white collar criminal. He will continue to make unlawful deductions until each tenant stands up for what is right.

Bernard Hoffman is a criminal. Be prepared by knowing your rights:

Don't let him intimidate you. Just read up on the legal codes and be prepared when you meet up in court. I took him to court and won. The judge basically laughed in his face.

Look at his reviews on Yelp. He's been acting unlawfully for a long time to many of his tenants.

Hoffman has withheld my security deposit without good cause, without substantiating documents or invoices. Ignores Civil Codes regarding tenant rights and simply adds insult to injury. He and his associate connive to make the most profit by disregarding tenant rights. Caveat Emptor. Avoid doing business with this corrupt man.
