Case Number: 23STCV18298    Hearing Date: June 25, 2024    Dept: 50

Superior Court of California

County of Los Angeles

Department 50

Plaintiff WM Sunset & Vine LLC (“Plaintiff”) requests entry of default judgment against Defendant Hovik Dzhuryan. Plaintiff requests judgment in the total amount of $12,378.83, comprising $3,155.00 in past-due rent, $8,412.80 in holdover damages, $737.03 in attorney fees, and $574.00 in costs, acknowledging a $500.00 security deposit credit.

Plaintiff seeks $8,412.80 in “holdover damages.” (See Proposed Judgment, Item 6(a)(2).) In the memorandum of point and authorities in support of the instant request, Plaintiff asserts that the Judicial Council Form Unlawful Detainer Complaint (UD-100) filed in this action “includes an appropriate request for holdover damages.” (Plaintiff’s Memorandum of Points and Authorities at p. 3:15.) Plaintiff points to paragraph 19(g) of the Complaint, which alleges that Plaintiff requests “damages at the rate stated in item 13 from…08/01/2023.” Paragraph 13 of the Complaint alleges that “[t]he fair rental value of the premises is $105.16 per day.” Plaintiff asserts that “Defendant vacated the Premises on October 19, 2023. As such, Plaintiff is entitled to holdover damages for 80 days, which equates to $8,412.00.” (Plaintiff’s Memorandum of Points and Authorities at p. 3:17-18.) The Court finds that Plaintiff has sufficiently supported his request with the submitted memorandum, declarations and evidence.

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff’s request is granted, and the Court will sign the proposed judgment submitted on March 28, 2024 and the proposed Order Admitting Copies of Documents in Lieu of Originals.

No appearance at the hearing is necessary.¿¿
