flag LA updates rent control, capping increases at 1%-4% for pre-1978 units, effective Jan 2026.

flag Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass signed a major update to the city’s rent control law, capping annual rent increases at 1% to 4% for over 650,000 units built before October 1, 1978. flag The change, the first significant overhaul in over 40 years, eliminates extra charges for electricity and gas, bans rent hikes for additional family members like babies or elderly relatives, and allows up to a 10% increase for non-dependent occupants. flag The law, effective late January 2026, aims to protect renters from unaffordable increases amid rising living costs.
