Rubber Stamp Rent Board

The surreal, marathon meeting on Feb 5th was the first appeal hearing and was preceded by Rent Stabilization Department Director Helen Morales recommending the board rule against the landlord. The biased tenant-majority Rent Board acted as the Director's rubber stamp and ruled against the landlord.

Our November 2026 ballot measure will give Pasadena an equal number of landlords and tenants on the rental board...but we're running out of time. Please consider donating $120 per rented unit. This includes single family homes, apartments, condos and ADU's...all of which are covered under Measure H. (This is half of the yearly registration fee.)

Things are not going to change unless we step up, donate money and get our measure on the November 2026 ballot. Our ballot measure will:

Preserve Costa-Hawkins (worth 33% of your property's value)
Cap out-of-control spending and fees
Merge the Rent Stabilization Department into the longstanding Department of Housing to save $3 million per year.

At this time, your contributions may be deductible as operating expenses. Once our ballot measure is submitted to the city, contributions will not be deductible. Please check with your professional tax advisor. Contribute online HERE.

LA COUNTY - THREE MONTH RENT HOLIDAY

TUESDAY: L.A. County Considers Countywide Eviction Restriction

By Janet M. Gagnon

Chief Corporate Affairs Officer & SVP Government Affairs

Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles

On February 10^th, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will vote on a motion by Supervisor Lindsey Horvath instructing the County Counsel to draft a resolution creating a COUNTYWIDE monetary eviction threshold equal to THREE (3) month’s Fair Market Rent (FMR) (as determined by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department). This new restriction would prevent property owners from initiating an eviction proceeding until this new threshold has been met (Agenda Item 20).

We urge ALL rental housing providers throughout Los Angeles County to immediately email the full Board of Supervisors requesting that they reject Agenda Item 20. The motion would put the County and rental housing providers in serious legal jeopardy based on existing tenant anti-harassment ordinances and there is no data to support it. Instead, the Board should allow last week’s motion by Chair Solis and Supervisor Hahn to become effective and collect data on it's impacts before considering spreading a monetary eviction threshold across 88 incorporated cities overriding existing City Councils and increasing it to 3 months’ worth of FMR.

Please send written comments on the record at this link.
