To Parties in Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 is defined as an action for recovery of money
owed in a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $25,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in
which property, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the following: (1 ) tort
damages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejudgment writ of
attachment. The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general
time-for-service requirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections
case will be subject to the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740.
In complex cases only, parties must also use the Ci.vt./ Case Cover Sheet to designate whether the
case is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated by
completing the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with the
complaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in the
plaintiffs designation, a counterdesignation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation that
the case is complex.

INTRODUCTION
1. The plaintiffs in this lawsuit are USC students who fell victim to a classic bait-
academic year. The students knew that the leases they signed had one important
caveat: the ELEMENT-the property that the students had signed up to live
tight market for student housing at USC. Knowing that construction of the
ELEMENT would not be complete in time to house students at the beginning of
the fall term, the defendants nevertheless concealed this fact from the students.
Meanwhile, Defendants continued to market available units via social media.
3. After it became public-two weeks before the students expected to move inthat no end to the construction was in sight, Defendants made the students a
series of empty promises, failed to provide them adequate replacement housing,
and acted oppressively and in bad faith. Nearly four months of the students' lease
had elapsed before the owners of the ELEMENT gave them permission to move
in.
away from campus. During peak rush hour, it often took them 45 minutes or
more to commute to or from campus. Defendants refuse to compensate the
students for being displaced from the USC community, nor did Defendants
adequately mitigate the harm they caused. The students demand compensation
for having suffered academically as a result.

19. Connor got in touch with a representative of the property manager, STUHO,
and found that the planned property met his needs. He was initially concerned
about whether the property would be ready to move in to on time, but STUHO
representatives assuaged his fears. They assured him that the project would be
completed before the beginning of classes. Still concerned, he asked what would

21.After signing his lease, Connor began searching for other students to fill the

to move into their quarters, the would-be tenants of the ELEMENT received
notices that the building was no longer expected to be finished on time for the
beginning of school.
24.STUHO gave some students the option of canceling their lease and finding
replacement housing. The initially-named plaintiffs in this suit received no such
option. Even if these plaintiffs had received such an option, it is unlikely that they
would have been able to find alternate housing in such a short time frame.
25. Few+if any-f the students who were offered an option to cancel actually did
so, because STUHO continued to misrepresent the completion date of the

project. Because most students were out of I.os Angeles for the summer, they
were unable to drive by the property to verify STUHO's claim that construction
was nearly complete. Had they visited the property, they might have known
26. Even if the students had known, as of July 14, 2016, that the construction delays
were not minimal, it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for the affected
students to find alternative housing in the tight market at the last minute.
27.Most, if not all students, ultimately chose to put up with the delays because of
C.
28.On or about July 14, 2016, in its initial notice to students that the property
would not be ready, STUHO-who shares common ownership with, and is the
alter ego of HOOVER -ADAMS HOLDING ILC ("HAH"), the developertold students that "the developer of the Element... informed us that the timeline
for the Element's launch has unfortunately been pushed back to between
"September lst 2016 to September 30th 2016. However, the developer has
informed us that they have secured alternative, toprof-the-line housing for you
that is approximately 4 miles away from campus. They know what an
inconvenience this for you [sic.], and as such, will be discounting your rent by
20% for the entire Fall semester (through December 2016), as well as providing
a dedicated shuttle service to and from campus."
29.The email went on to describe the features and benefits of the students'

of patience on their part would be rewarded, and that they should not look for

alternative housing to mitigate the damages they expected to suffer from being
displaced.
31. As the month of September came to an end, students began to pressure STUHO
for an update. On September 22, 2016, HAH sent the students an update
through its agents at STUHO, apologizing for the construction delays, blaming
them on "scheduling and timing issues for inspections with the city, county, and
safety authorities. "
32.In the same email dated September 22, 2016, IIAH assured students that they
would just have to wait one more month. "You will be able to move in starting
the week of October 24th, 2016. As a reminder, please remember that the last
day at the Da Vinci will be October 31st, 2016; accordingly, please arrange to

two options to you:"

flexibility for you to schedule your move at your convenience during the week of
October 24th, 2016. To help ease the transition we will have utilities set up for
your unit at Element and will pay for your utilities for the remainder of the Fall
2016 semester. You will not need to sign any paperwork in order to exercise this
option.
36.The second option offered by HAH: "You can choose to be released from your
lease obligations effective as of October 31st, 2016 (as set forth in the link below
which contains the Termination Agreement), and be free to make your own
housing arrangements elsewhere .... Should you choose to be released from your

end of October, but that they would have only one week to find alternative

39.On October 21, 2016, the students received an update: "all of the interiors of

ready to go, and the apartments will be given a sparkle clean next Wednesday,

48.While Defendants were blaming the bureaucracy of the City of Los Angeles for
its construction delays, Plaintiffs are now informed and believe that the time it
took to build the ELEMENT was not far off from the average amount of time it
can reasonably be expected to build a project like the ELEMENT, and that the
city inspectors responsible for approving the certificate of occupancy were
quickly responsive to requests for inspections.
49. Additionally, Plaintiffs are informed and believe that if there were delays beyond
those expected in the ordinary course of housing construction, they were related

the Plaintiffs, being students, had insufficient connections to the community to
find housing in the short time frame provided by Defendants, were particularly
vulnerable to being injured by the Defendants' breaches of their duties under

more than empty promises from STUHO. With no end to construction in sight,
each of these students was taxed past the limits of exhaustion. Their academics
suffered. They were unable to take advantage of many of the campus activities
enjoyed by USC students who are housed close to campus. They signed up for
courses and committed to campus life without expecting that they would be
constructlon updates to the students in time for them to find alternative housing.

frugal with the students. Initially, Defendants reimbursed the students for
incidental expenses related to their distant location from campus, such as

Defendants gave up on placating the students and left them to their own devices.

living on scholarships and student loans, and had to choose between staying on
campus late and paying for an Uber car that they could not afford, or arriving
home with the last shuttle and missing out on valuable time on campus. Now,

This stipulation is intended to encourage cooperation among the parties at an early stage in
the lltigation and to assist the parties in efficient case resolution.
a. Are motions to challenge the pleadings necessary? If the issue can be resolved by
amendment as of right, or if the Court would allow leave to amend, could an amended
complaint resolve most or all of the issues a demurrer might otherwise raise? lf so, the parties
agree to work through pleading issues so that a demurrer need only raise issues they cannot
resolve. Is the issue that the defendant seeks to raise amenable to resolution on demurrer, or
would some other type of motion be preferable? Could a voluntary targeted exchange of
documents or information by any party cure an uncertainty in the pleadings?
b.

employment case, the employment records, personnel file and documents relating to the
