Family-Led Property Management in Los Angeles
For over 20 years, Lotus West Properties has helped Los Angeles building owners protect and grow their investments — combining hands-on local expertise with the personal attention only a family-led firm can provide.
Our Story
Lotus West Properties was founded by Ariel Chazanas, a native Angeleno and UCLA finance graduate who grew up in a family of property developers and managers. What began with just 20 units has grown into a trusted firm managing over 1,100 multifamily units across nearly 100 buildings throughout Los Angeles.
That growth has come from one simple commitment: treating every property we manage as if it were our own. We specialize in multifamily apartment buildings with 8+ units, and we bring deep, practical knowledge of LA's complex rent control landscape — from the City of LA's RSO to the separate ordinances in Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and beyond.
As a family-led company with a team of 10 dedicated professionals, we keep our approach personal. Our property managers are directly accessible — no call centers, no automated runaround — backed by an experienced in-house repair crew and transparent monthly reporting.
Why Owners Choose Lotus West
One dedicated point of contact for you and your tenants. No call centers — just real people who know your property.
We navigate the full patchwork of LA rent laws — RSO, Just Cause, AB 1482, and city-specific ordinances — keeping your property compliant.
Our own maintenance team handles routine and emergency repairs quickly and affordably — protecting your asset and your bottom line.
