LA County's new rent control laws
Cities in the southeast region of LA County are enacting rent control measures to combat rising rents.
LOS ANGELES - Cities in the southeast region of Los Angeles County are enacting rent control measures to combat rising rent.
These are in "gateway cities" including Maywood, Bell Gardens, and Cudahy, which are populated largely by Latino and immigrant workers.
California enacted a statewide law that limits most annual rent increases to 5% plus inflation.
SUGGESTED:
- These four US cities face the biggest housing shortages
- California residents relocating here more than any other US city, study shows
- Monthly costs for homebuyers rise nearly 20%
However, local activists are saying new landlords are trying to charge more.
