Los Angeles County Rent Control

[Brendon Woirhaye]

As many of you know, Proposition 10 is on the ballot for November, and if passed, it would repeal Costa-Hawkins which significantly prevents individual cities from imposing rent control.  It is shaping up to be a major battle over the next couple of months.

For those in Los Angeles County, there are other attempts at rent control in motion as well.  The LAC Board of Supervisors was slated to vote on a motion on a "temporary" 3% annual increase.  As of this morning, the vote has been postponed to a future meeting, but it is important for those concerned about this issue to contact the supervisors in the districts where they own property to make their opinions known.
