Los Angeles County Update: A Discussion with Supervisor Kathryn Barger
February 8, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
| Free for AAGLA MembersJoin us for important updates on L.A. County’s rent stabilization ordinance and moratoriums. Supervisor, Kathryn Barger, joins us to discuss issues of importance to Los Angeles County’s housing providers, including crime, homelessness, housing regulations, and more! For years, Supervisor Barger and her family have owned multifamily rental properties – she’s on our side!
Los Angeles County has a Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protections Ordinance (RSTPO) 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. Los Angeles County also requires rental property owners to register their properties under the County’s Rent which requires owners to provide rental unit information and pay annual rent registration fees.
In Los Angeles County, the Countywide eviction moratorium generally came to an end on December 31, 2022, although the County’s “no-fault” eviction prohibitions will remain in place for a segment of renters countywide until 2024. Additionally, while Los Angeles County’s rent increase freeze which applied to rent stabilized units in the County’s unincorporated areas ended on December 31, 2022, the 2023 allowable rent increases for rent-stabilized units in the County’s unincorporated areas are temporarily limited to a maximum of 3% generally or 5% for those units that fall within the definition of luxury units under the County’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
Fellow multifamily housing owner and Los Angeles County Supervisor, Kathryn Barger, joins us via webinar to discuss issues she is addressing throughout the County, existing and proposed regulations that have and may in the future impact the County’s housing providers, and lessons learned during the global pandemic. During this webinar, Supervisor Barger will be taking some of your questions. Some of the topics discussed during this webinar may include:
- Crime, homelessness, and housing affordability.
- Lessons learned during COVID-19 – how would the County respond differently knowing what we know now?
- Thoughts on the County’s rent stabilization ordinance and eviction protections. Are they fair?
- How rental housing providers can best advocate for themselves – can there be a balance?
- And, of course, much, much more. Supervisor Barger will take some of your questions via the “Q&A.”
