Trying to understand how much your rent can go up? For tenants in Southern California, it’s confusing. State law in California currently allows annual rent hikes of up to 8.8% for many apartments in L.A. and Orange counties. However, different parts of SoCal — and other parts of the state — have very different rules on rent increases. Some cities have local forms of rent control. Others don’t.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The new year is bringing a host of new rights and privileges to California residents that impact how they live, work and entertain themselves. Here's a list of new laws taking effect on Jan. 1, 2024 and beyond.
The percentage of Los Angeles multifamily properties offering concessions rose in November, with 27% of properties with 25 or more units providing some level of incentives during the month — the highest level since June 2021.
Between showings, lease signings, maintenance, and renewals, there are myriad carefully coordinated tasks that must be completed on-site every day. To be as successful and efficient as possible, property management teams need to operate like well-oiled machines. Unfortunately, most property management teams aren’t working that way today.
Residential rental concessions are hitting a two-year high with 30% of listing offering at least one concessions, according to Zillow based on its own rental listings. The previous recent high was in February 2021, where 37% of listings offered concessions. Because the data set is all through Zillow, it would be considered self-selected and so unlikely to be statistically representative of the entire country. However, it also is a large number of rental listings and not something to be ignored offhand.
Apartment rents are expected to grow between 2% and 4% in the next two years in all five Southern California housing markets, according to the new University of Southern California Casden Real Estate Economic Forecast. In Los Angeles County alone, rents are projected to grow 2% over the next two years.
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Los Angeles City Council Wednesday approved a motion seeking to improve the city's housing inspection capabilities to ensure timely and quality repairs for renters, and to encourage tenants and landlords to fully participate in the process.
The Council voted 12-0 on the matter. Council members Paul Krekorian and Curren Price recused themselves because they are landlords, and Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez was absent during the vote.
In a heated committee meeting on Wednesday, Los Angeles city councilmembers struck down a proposal for a six-month extension on a pandemic-era ban on rent hikes that has covered most L.A. apartments for the past three-and-a-half years.
Instead, the council’s housing committee voted to advance a plan that would lower allowable rent increases scheduled for Feb. 1 from 7% to 4%. A rule that allows an additional 2% for landlords who cover gas and electric costs will remain, bringing the highest allowed increase to 6% in some cases.
That plan will now advance to the full city council for a final vote.
Q: Landlords are getting saddled with higher costs. With everything going up, can you talk about passing costs onto tenants? Also, RUBS, where units with more tenants pay a higher share of utilities. Seems sensible to me.
Bornstein, Esq.
We have a great deal of empathy for housing providers facing rising costs while being constrained in how much they can raise rents. While inflation has become a much-covered topic, the numbers are deceiving. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) takes into account certain consumer staples and does not adequately reflect the climbing costs landlords incur, such as appliances, what contractors are demanding for repairs, building materials, property taxes, and indeed, utilities.
Despite these hardships, we have to be careful in raising rents because Big Brother is watching, tenants have plenty of recourse to air out their grievances, and there is no shortage of tenants’ attorneys looking to find mistakes and even the score.
SAN FRANCISCO – Renters in California will no longer be asked for a security deposit larger than one month's rent, under a bill signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
On Wednesday, the governor signed Assembly Bill 12 by Assemblymember Matt Haney (D-San Francisco). According to Haney, the measure would stop the practice among certain landlords to charge two or even three times the monthly rent as a security deposit.
