ABRAHAM MEHRIAN accused OF Exploiting the Landlord-Tenant Dynamic

  Modus Vivendi Through Strategic Legacy Management Inc., Pedram Mehrian is alleged to exploit landlord and tenant roles, enabling him to avoid rent obligations at various properties while collecting management fees. Critics claim this strategy allows him to live rent-free and generate profits from investors while managing properties for personal benefit. These alleged practices have reportedly caused significant financial losses to investors. Calls for full restitution include compensation not only for unpaid rents but also for other damages stemming from Mehrian’s activities. Case Summaries 1. The Knowlton Residences At the Knowlton Residences, Mehrian and his mother, Mojgan Benlevi, allegedly occupied the building’s largest apartment without providing verifiable proof of rent payments.

Mehrian's Unchecked Authority: Leaving a trail of Financial Devastation - Part 1

  Mehrian's Unchecked Authority: Leaving a trail of Financial Devastation- Part 1 by  Chuck Wordsworth   Pedram Abraham Mehrian’s management has been criticized for raising significant ethical and fiduciary concerns. His decisions have reportedly resulted in severe financial losses, property foreclosures, and a notable erosion of trust among investors. Allegations of preferential treatment, misuse of unchecked authority, and potential conflicts of interest have placed his practices under scrutiny.   Lease-to-Purchase Model Challenges At the heart of the controversy is the lease-to-purchase arrangement for the eight units at Barton 8. This model was offered only to eight lucky optionees the opportunity to own a home and apply part of their monthly payments toward a deposit or down payment, to buy the unit after 40 month-contract. However, the agreement stipulated forfeiture of the contract and lose the deposits if payments were missed or the purchase was not completed...

  Mehrian: A Tale of Pretense By The Princess of Isfahan    The saga of SLIG is a tangled tale of  pretense. Once a “promising” real estate company, SLIG has become nothing more than a cautionary tale, with every project in foreclosure and its logo stripped from the downtown headquarters like an embarrassing sticker. The investors? We didn’t even get souvenir T-shirts, let alone any returns.   Yet one man pretends to be the victim: Pedram Abraham Mehrian.   Pedram had it good. Regardless his already bad reputation, life gave him another chance, he was fortunate to have the support of individuals and partners who believe in him, and who brought in investors to build SLIG. However, he lacked the capacity, and experience to fulfill the promises he made, as everything he did was rooted in pretense. Struggling with a severe drug addiction, his decisions were driven by greed and inflated ego, ultimately leading to the downfall of the company.   Today,  ...

  DEM: The Squatter at the 4th Floor "Days of Our Multiplex: The Drama Behind LA’s Downtown Executive Building" Written by  The Princess of Isfahan .   In the heart of LA’s Fashion District, where retail shops hum and street food sizzles, the Downtown Executive Multiplex (DEM) stood like a stage set for success. But behind the glitz and glamour of Santee and 12th Street, a high-stakes drama unfolded—a saga of betrayal, deception, and unpaid dues. The plot thickened with every passing day, and at the center of it all was our man, Abraham Pedram Mehrian, whose idea of business seemed to be "collect everyone’s rent but your own."   Act 1: The Conflict of Interests . Through his company, SLM, he not only managed the building but also strategically placed his own company, SLIG as a tenant, on the top floor occupying 25% of the building and a good part of the third floor—without paying a dime in rent. This entitlement reflected his soap villain-like ambition to control th...

Abraham Mehrian Receives Permanent Restraining Order for Civil Harassment at Barton 8

Image
  Abraham Mehrian Receives Permanent Restraining Order for Civil Harassment at Barton 8 On October 1, 2024, Pedram Abraham Mehrian faced a significant legal defeat when the Los Angeles Superior Court, presided over by Judge Michael R. Powell, issued a permanent restraining order against him in case number 24STRO03092 for civil harassment. The ruling followed accusations that Mehrian, as manager, had escalated a residential dispute at Barton 8 into a pattern of intimidation, causing both emotional distress and physical injuries.   Despite Mehrian being represented by attorney David Youssefyeh, the victim appeared without legal counsel and presented compelling video evidence, including police reports detailing incidents of package theft, mail tampering, stalking, property damage, and obstruction of garage access. A particularly alarming incident involved Mehrian approaching the victim's door with a hammer. The restraining order petition, filed in March 2024, led to a temporary o...
