Important Information for Los Angeles City Renters
REMEMBER City of Los Angeles renters have eviction protections:
Your landlord must provide a legal reason for eviction. Depending on the reason for the eviction, landlords must provide relocation assistance.
The Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance (TAHO) protects all residential tenants in the City of Los Angeles from harassment by landlords. Harassment occurs when a landlord creates an unbearable situation to the point that the tenant does not feel comfortable or safe remaining in the unit. For more information on the TAHO visit: housing.lacity.org/residents/tenant-anti-harassment. To file a complaint, contact LAHD Hotline or file a complaint online visit: housing.lacity.org/residents/file-a-complaint.
Tenants cannot be evicted for non-payment of rent if the tenant owes rent less than the Fair Market Rent (FMR) of their rental unit . For example, if a tenant rents a 1-bedroom unit and the rent is $1,500, the landlord cannot evict the tenant since the rent owed is less than the FMR for a 1-bedroom unit.
