Los Angeles County's Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protections Ordinance requires landlords in unincorporated areas to pay tiered relocation assistance to households evicted for no-fault reasons, with amounts adjusted annually by DCBA.
Title 8.52.080 of the LA County Code obligates landlords in unincorporated areas to pay relocation assistance whenever a tenancy ends through a no-fault ground such as owner move-in, demolition, substantial remodel, Ellis Act withdrawal, or government order. Amounts are tiered between roughly $8,700 for standard households and up to $23,000 or more for qualified households containing seniors, disabled persons, minor children, or low-income tenants. Payment must be delivered before the tenant's required move-out date, and a Declaration of Intent to Evict must be filed with the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA). Incorporated cities use their own local rules or default to AB-1482 amounts.
Failing to pay relocation or file the Declaration of Intent voids the eviction notice and exposes the landlord to tenant lawsuits, treble damages, and DCBA enforcement penalties.
