Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Waives Annual RSO Rent Registration Fee

At the April 19^th Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved waiving the annual RSO rent registration fees. The County’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) applicable to the County’s unincorporated areas, requires rental housing providers to register their rental units and pay a fee. The annual fee is $90 per unit for rental units subject to both the County’s RSO and Just-Cause provisions (“Fully Covered Units”) and $30 per unit for rental units subject to the County’s Just Cause provisions but exempt from the County’s RSO (“Just Cause Units”) in the County’s unincorporated areas. During the pandemic, the Board of Supervisors has been waiving the registration fee for rental housing providers that comply with the annual rent registration requirements. Based on the Board’s recent action, rental housing providers who rent units in Los Angeles County’s unincorporated areas have until September 30, 2022 to register their units in order to receive the fee waiver through June 30, 2023.
