As of Thursday, Dec. 20, a temporary rent stabilization ordinance is in effect for eligible rental units in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.
The ordinance, valid for 180 days, limits residential rent increases to no more than three percent within a 12-month period and limits the reasons a tenant can be evicted.
The County of Los Angeles Department of Consumer and Business Affairs enforces the new ordinance. DCBA is working to educate renters and landlords about the County’s new temporary ordinance, which was implemented by the County’s Board of Supervisors in November last month.
For more information about L.A. County’s new temporary rent stabilization ordinance, contact DCBA’s new Rent Stabilization program:
* Phone: 833-223-RENT (7368)
* Email: rent@dcba.lacounty.gov
* Website: rent.lacounty.gov
To find out if a property is in unincorporated Los Angeles County, visit the Los Angeles County Register-Recorder/County Clerk website at lavote.net/precinctmap and select “District Map Look Up By Address.”
Single-family homes, condominiums, and some apartments are not considered eligible rental units.
The Board of Supervisors can extend the temporary rent stabilization ordinance, as necessary, or vote to replace it with a permanent ordinance.

Rent Moratorium is a great concept, Wait for it! Wait for it! BUT with only a 2.8% increase (cost of living)for this coming yrar and with the 3% limit for 6 months, we seniors will still be unable to pay these increases, so again, the greed wins out and still causes HOMELESSNESS !
It takes a 12th grade level of competence to understand why rent controls are bad. Many students who graduate in California graduate at an 8th grade level.
