Some areas of Los Angeles County, although described as Los Angeles in the address may not actually fall under rent control, these areas can include San Pedro and Altadena.

Only thing is that the market here in San Pedro, CA is pretty pricey... 300k+ homes here.

Welcome @Pedro Machin!

I really know nothing about the rental market in Sao Paulo, Brasil, so I'd have to do my research.
