WEHO - In regards to item numero three from this previous CurbedWire post, where a reader fears condo converters descending upon West Hollywood, Ryan Gierarch of The WeHo News comments that indeed, West Hollywood did increase its tenant relocation fees. The increased fees seem to be on par with LA's newly enacted fees. Via The WeHo News: "The bill increases costs for moving, and includes utility costs as well as packing and moving costs. Based on the size of the apartment, the fees also take into account age, disabilities and income." [CurbedWire CommentBox/WeHo news]

SOUTH ROBERTSON - Helios House is hiring.
