Rent Stabilization Program
The Rent Stabilization Program covers the Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protections Ordinance and the Mobilehome Rent Stabilization and Mobilehome Owner Protections Ordinance, which stabilize rents and extend eviction protections for eligible properties. The program also oversees the Rental Housing Oversight Commission which resolves disputes related to the ordinances.
The Los Angeles County Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protections Ordinance (RSTPO) is a local law that sets the maximum annual rent increase based on the changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and provides tenants protections from evictions without just cause. The RSTPO also provides a process for property owners to seek relief if they believe they are not receiving a fair return on their rental units under the permitted maximum annual rent increase.
Beginning April 1, 2023, fully-covered rental units subject to the RSTPO will be restricted to a maximum of 3% rent increases through December 31, 2023. Luxury units will be restricted to a 5% rent increase through December 31, 2023.
The Los Angeles County Mobilehome Rent Stabilization and Mobilehome Owner Protections Ordinance (MRSMOPO) is a local law that sets the maximum annual space rent increase based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase and offers rent adjustments for claims of decrease in housing services. The MRSMOPO also provides a process for mobilehome park owners to seek relief if they believe they are unable to receive a fair return in the operation of their mobilehome park under the permitted maximum annual rent increase.
Beginning April 1, 2023, fully-covered mobilehome spaces subject to the MRSMOPO will be restricted to a maximum of 3% rent increases through December 31, 2023.
