Cash-for-keys deals in unincorporated LA County are regulated under the RSTPO buyout provisions. Landlords must serve a written disclosure, allow a cooling-off rescission period, and file the executed agreement with the DCBA.
Title 8.52.090 of the LA County Code governs voluntary buyout offers for units covered by the Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protections Ordinance. Before negotiating, the landlord must serve a Disclosure Notice on a DCBA-prescribed form explaining the tenant's right to refuse, consult an attorney, and seek relocation if a no-fault eviction follows. The signed agreement must be in writing, in the tenant's primary language when feasible, and contain a 30-day rescission clause. The landlord then files an executed copy with DCBA within 60 days of signing. A buyout that skips the disclosure or filing is rescindable by the tenant for up to one year and unenforceable by the landlord.
Buyouts lacking the DCBA disclosure or filing are unenforceable and tenants may rescind for one year. Landlords face DCBA penalties and possible damages in subsequent civil suits.
