Rent Control
It has gone largely unreported in the press that, effective on Jan. 1, Los Angeles County’s rent control law expired. This means that tenants in all the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County no longer have the protection of rent control.
If landlords and tenants will practice the Golden Rule and treat each other as they would like to be treated, then there will be no rent gouging or punitive evictions and there will be no need for rent control laws now or in the future.
