家庭旅馆遭严打 改弦易辙租豪客
|
南加多个华人城市长时间以来一直存在着一个地下行业——家庭旅馆，在近几年在各个市府的严打下已有所收敛，由于加州法律硬性要求每个人的居住面积不得小于120平方呎，因此有的商家改变了战略，摇身一变开始走高端路线，将民宅出租给土豪观光客，牟取暴利。但是，民宅用于商业用途在南加多数城市仍然是明令禁止的，华裔民选官员提醒民众小心触法。旅游业者更指这种旅馆，是滋生犯罪的温床。
业者坦承合法经营难度高
资深旅游业者表示，高端家庭旅馆近年来很受欢迎，很多华人旅行社都在考虑开发此项目，但是由于涉及的法律问题较为复杂，而且投资金额和劳动力都很大，因此业内合法经营高端家庭旅馆的华人公司非常少，主要是美国公司在做，以前多数集中在好莱坞环球影城、迪斯尼乐园、大熊湖等热门旅游景点附近。
业者表示，合法难办，很多非法的旅游用家庭旅馆慢慢延伸到了各华人城市。她介绍，一栋家庭旅馆的价位在每天600至3000美元不等，豪华山顶度假屋的价格更是令人咋舌。业者指出，高端家庭旅馆对美观、舒适和安全程度的要求都很高，并且需要人长期打理，而如果只将房子用于「大通铺」形式的家庭旅馆，就不需要花费太多心思。业者坦言，部分月子中心就是华人家庭旅馆的另一个表现形式。
房租涉及税法 应诚实申报
业者指出，据她了解，目前南加州允许合法经营可短期租赁的家庭旅馆，仅有圣塔莫尼卡(Santa Monica)和威尼斯(Venice)和部分好莱坞地区，其他城市都未开放经营许可，因此外国华裔游客一不小心就会走进非法经营的家庭旅馆，如果与房东或导游发生纠纷都得不到法律保护。
此外，据她了解，业内唯一一家华人高端家庭旅馆的运作方式，是与民宅签订合同，成为“二房东”，再用于商业通途。圣盖博市议员廖钦和表示，圣市不允许将任何民宅用于商业用途，无论是8块钱一晚的民宿，还是几千元的豪宅都是违法的。
廖钦和明确表示：“圣盖博不欢迎任何形式的家庭旅馆”。此外他也提醒房东，房租涉及个人所得税申报，需要诚实申报。
暗藏春色 犯罪滋生温床
一不愿具名的旅游业者透露，华人高端家庭旅馆已渐渐成为滋生犯罪的温床。他表示，一些个体户黑导游经常通过微信、信息型网站等网络媒体发布广告，为私人旅游和商务考察提供一条龙服务，有的除了协助安排正规旅游路线，还会为需要商务考察的顾客安排专业口译人员，不过也存在与“援交学生”合作，安排提供“贴身服务”的三陪小姐等情况。周女士一家5口近日通过网络联系一位“导游”来南加，但是到了之后发现图片和实际状况相差很远，“导游”不但不处理而且态度很差，她叫苦不迭。
业者表示，家庭旅馆不但存在暗藏春色的问题，更有治安隐忧。土豪客若住在家庭旅馆遭遇抢劫或盗窃，或是突发身体健康问题，这部分根本无法像正规旅馆般有安全保障。因此这也是正规华人旅行社不愿涉足的原因，因为非法家庭旅馆客户与二房东之间没有有效的合同保证，居住安全问题根本无从谈起。
洗手间多人共享 卫生堪忧
另外，普通和高端的家庭旅馆之间差别非常大，据圣市改善邻里服务(Neighborhood Improvement Service)经理安德森(Clayton Anderson)介绍，非法的家庭旅馆的最低收费每天只有8美元，住在车库只需要7美元，房东提供一个床垫，几十名男女老少混居在狭小的民宅之内，共享一个卫生间。
廖钦和表示，这样的家庭旅馆不仅违反圣市的法规，同时也会造成偷盗等其他法律问题，而几十人共享一个洗手间更是存在卫生问题，他表示理解部分新移民刚来美国生活不易，但是选择在非法经营的家庭旅馆落脚，显然不是一个明智的选择。

Failed gambler Qian Di occupied the guesthouse and extorted $3000 (World Journal post)
An evil tenant blackmailed money from the guesthouse and escaped
Qian Di, a milldle-aged Chinese man who rented a bed from a guesthouse on the Ash Avenue and Bowne Street in the Flushing Town, ecently told the police that his landlord try to drive out him illegally with a variety of harsh means, such as locked the door and throw him baggages. However, the landlord Mr.Sun said, their dispute is due to Qian Di owed huge gambling debts, and can not to borrow money from him, then, called the police. Through the police intervention, the two sides finally reconciliated----Qian Di moved out of the guesthouse recently with hundreds dollars whice the landlord lended him, and leave a letter to landlord for a debt note.
The tenant Qian Di complained that his landlord Sun drives all tenants while hearsay the City Department of Buildings will examine to come. Mr.Sun locked the door repeatedly, and throwed his refrigerator foods and some daily necessities because he refused to move out. Mr.Sun even attempted to throw his trunk to the street.
In view of this complaint, Mr.Sun said, "This tenant was arrested by the attack crime not long ago. He has no money after the release. I let him live here by my kindness. Also I advised him to mend his ways."
Mr.Sun pointed out that cause of comflict is Qian Di indulged in gambling. "On the 20th of last month, Qian Di told me that he lost the payment for goods of his boss in the gambling. He was afraid that he might lose his job if he doesn't return the payment to his boss. Therefore he asked me to loan $1000. I didn't lend money to him yet. Soon after, I learned that he sold his house that he got from the divorce case. He also borrowed money from many people and has not returned to them."
"He didn't pay the rental to me because I didn't lend money to him. He declared this guesthouse is illegal. He will not only to stay living here, but also will report to the government. He threatened to make my guesthouse close. In this case, I decided to close the guesthouse, and persuaded other residents move away. Unexpectedly, he began to engage in sabotage, such as damaged the electric rice cooker, and pried the doors, and smashed locks.He was using violence and intimidation. He spited in my face, and shaked his fist in front of me. Therefore We dare not enter here again."
Regarding the case which Qian Di complainted his landlord changed the lock, Mr.Sun pointed out that Qian Di knew the law requires that the police can arrest the landlord who changes the lock without authorization. Thus Qian Di use it as an excuse to climbed from the escape stairs to the 4th floor and came into the window. Mr.Sun explained that he would not change the lock originally, but he changed it later because of Qian Di crammed the toothpick in the lock.
Mr.Sun stressed, "I did not throw his luggage. Qian Di has no money to buy foods now. A few days ago, He ask me to borrow $3000, at least $2500. He said that he will leave at once, as soon as he gets the money. Finally I gave him $700. He, then, moved out on Tuesday morning, and wrote an apology letter to me. This matter was end."
Mr.Sun pointed out that there are thousands of guesthouses in New York. Tens of thousands of Chinese landlords sublet beds for the migrant workers. The beds subletting of the guesthouses are illegal, but they provide some conveniences for many Chinese immigrants who are low-income, and work for a living, or even to send money to home. The guesthouses reduce their living costs, and help the government to solve some social problems.

世界日报：赌徒邸千「霸租」纽约家庭旅馆 敲诈勒索三千美元
家庭旅馆恶房客 拿钱落跑
在法拉盛Ash大道夹邦恩街（Bowne St.）某家庭旅馆租一个床位的中年华裔男子邸千，日前向警方指称房东把门反锁、扔他东西等多种恶劣手段企图非法驱赶。房东孙先生则称，双方纠纷是因邸千欠庞大赌债，没从他那里借到钱而报警。警方介入后，双方终于和解，邸千带着房东借他的数百元日前搬出家庭旅馆，并留下一封给房东的信，作为借据。
房客邸千投诉称，房东孙先生得知市楼宇局（Building Department）要来检查后，开始驱赶房客，因他不肯搬走，多次把门反锁，扔掉他放在冰箱的食物和一些日用品，还企图把他的行李箱扔到街头。
针对这起投诉，孙先生表示，「这房客不久前因攻击罪被捕，释放后没钱，我出于好心让他住进来，劝他改恶从善。」
孙先生指出，双方此次冲突的起因是赌博，「上月20日，他说赌博输掉老板让他办事的钱，不还钱工作就没了，因此开口向我借1000元，我没借他，后来了解到他把离婚卖房刚分到的钱也输掉了，而且向几个人借钱还没还」。
「因为我不借他钱，他就不付租金并威胁称，这个家庭旅馆非法，他就在这里不走，而且要去举报，让旅馆开不下去。这种情况下，我决定关闭家庭旅馆，让其他住客搬走。没想到，他开始搞破坏，弄坏电饭锅、撬门、砸锁、威胁，朝我脸上吐口水，拳头在我眼前晃，吓得我们不敢进屋。」
关于邸千投诉他换锁一事，孙先生指出，对方听说如果房东换锁，警察可以逮捕房东，于是就以换锁为由，两次从逃生楼梯爬到四楼，从窗口进入。孙先生解释，他开始并没有换锁，后来不得已才换锁是因为邸千在锁心里塞了牙签。
孙先生强调，「我并没有扔他的行李，现在他连吃饭的钱都没有，前几天，想向我要3000元，最少2500元，说拿到钱马上就搬走。我最终给了他700元，他在周二早上搬走了，还写了一封给我的道歉信，此事也算告一段落」。
孙先生指出，纽约有上千家家庭旅馆，数以万计的华裔房东分租床位给打工者。家庭旅馆和分租都不合法规，但却为众多收入不高、以打工为生、甚至要寄钱回国的华裔移民提供很多便利、降低他们的生活成本，为政府解决一些社会问题。
