Serabeth Mullaney, however, is hesitant about the offer on the grounds that even the large sum might not be worth the headache of looking for a new apartment, KRON reported, adding that the landlord also asked Mullaney to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
Despite the apparent magnitude of the offer, $35,000 is near the city’s historical median for tenant buyouts, according to the California Post, which reported that one couple in their 60s were paid $475,000 to vacate a seven-bedroom rent-controlled apartment.
