Mandatory rental registration is required in unincorporated LA County under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance. Landlords of covered units must register each rental unit with the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA). Registration requires providing unit details, current rent amounts, and tenant information. An annual registration fee is charged per unit (typically $30-$50, adjusted periodically). Registration helps the county track RSO compliance and ensures tenants can verify their unit's status. Landlords who fail to register cannot pursue certain eviction remedies.
Failure to register rental units carries penalties of $250-$500 per unit. Unregistered units may not be eligible for certain eviction processes. The annual registration fee late penalty is typically double the standard fee. Landlords who charge unregistered units above-market rents face additional scrutiny. File registration questions or complaints with DCBA at (800) 593-8222.
