L.A. City Council Orders Staff to Compile Rent Data on Unpaid Rent
A major deadline is coming soon for Los Angeles renters, and the city council hopes to be ready for it. At its meeting on Tuesday, the L.A. City Council tasked city staff with gathering extensive data related to renters and their unpaid rent. This request comes in the wake of the expiration of the COVID-era protections from the city’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) on February 1, 2024, after which unpaid rent from October 1, 2021, to January 31, 2023, will be due and rents may be increased by up to four percent on properties that are under the RSO.
