Rent Stabilization Ordinance

Generally, rental units covered by the City’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) were built on or before October 1, 1978, and units constructed after July 15, 2007 that replace demolished RSO rental units may also be covered under the RSO. The RSO regulates rent increases and evictions. There are approximately 650,000 units in about 118,000 properties throughout the City of Los Angeles under the jurisdiction of this ordinance, including apartments, condos, co-ops, rooming houses, and hotels and motels. Mobilehomes in mobilehome parks are also covered by the RSO. The data below is for the RSO units throughout the City.
