Unincorporated LA County has its own just cause eviction protections under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), effective April 2020. Landlords may only evict tenants who have lived in a unit for 12+ months for specific reasons: non-payment of rent, lease violations, nuisance, criminal activity, owner/family move-in, substantial renovation, withdrawal from rental market (Ellis Act), or government order. Tenants are entitled to relocation assistance for no-fault evictions. The RSO applies to residential units built before February 1, 1995, in unincorporated areas. California's AB 1482 provides additional statewide protections.
Wrongful eviction (without just cause) allows tenants to sue for damages, attorney fees, and reinstatement. Penalties include actual damages plus statutory damages of $1,000-$5,000 per violation. Failure to provide required relocation assistance is a separate violation. The county can also impose administrative penalties on landlords who violate the RSO. Tenants can file complaints with the LA County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs.
