Respondents notified appellant sometime in late 2010 or early 20116 that the rent for apartment J was increased from $1,283 to $1,850 per month, effective January 1, 2011. A written notice was prepared, dated October 25, 2010, and addressed to “Mandore Oviedo.” In response to this notice, appellant’s attorney, Jennifer Hughes (Hughes), contacted Gaucin on January 14, 2011, to discuss appellant’s contention that the 44 percent increase in rent was illegal pursuant to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance of the City of Los Angeles (RSO).7 She followed this discussion with a letter that same day noting that appellant did not receive proper service of the notice regarding increased rent. The letter also stated her reasons for asserting that the increase was illegal, including (1) that appellant had moved into the apartment in 1993 *104with her boyfriend, Phillip Betz (Betz), and their dog, Lucky, and had resided there ever since; (2) that appellant had signed the original lease along with Betz; and (3) that even if she had not signed the original lease, the increase in rent was unlawful because she resided there prior to January 1, 1996.8 In the letter, Hughes referred to appellant as Elvira Oviedo, rather than Mandore Oviedo.
