Description
The Los Angeles Housing Department administers the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) of the City of Los Angeles through its Rent Stabilization Program, which protects tenants from excessive rent increases, while at the same time allowing apartment owners a reasonable return on their investments. The RSO covers rental properties built before 1978 when there are two or more units on a lot. Information by telephone regarding landlord and tenants rights in relation to this Ordinance may be obtained through the Rent Stabilization hotline (see contact info). This phone number may also be used to request LAHD forms or informational materials by U.S. mail. General information regarding the rights of landlords and tenants under the RSO, including details on which rental units in the City are subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, can be found at the main RSO webpage (see Service Web Site link).
