California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against real estate mogul Mike Nijjar, highlighting serious allegations of housing law violations. The complaint follows a two-year investigation revealing that Nijjar, operating through family-owned PAMA Management, controls around 22,000 rental units in low-income neighborhoods. The suit claims Nijjar subjected tenants to deplorable conditions including vermin infestations and sewage issues, and accused him of overcharging and violating anti-discrimination laws. Bonta aims to impose penalties, secure restitution for tenants, and prevent further unlawful practices by Nijjar and his companies.
"PAMA and the companies owned by Mike Nijjar are notorious for their rampant, slum-like conditions - some so bad that residents have suffered tragic results."
"Our investigation into Nijjar's properties revealed PAMA exploited vulnerable families, refusing to invest the resources needed to eradicate pest infestations, fix outdated roofs and install functioning plumbing systems."
