- Anaheim voters will not see rent control on November ballot
An effort to place a rent control measure on Anaheim's November ballot has failed, leaving Santa Ana as Orange County's only city with rent control. Tenants United Anaheim suspended signature-gathering to revise the proposal, which would have capped annual rent increases at 3% and required relocation assistance for displaced tenants.
- SoCal cities made landlords pay when rent hikes pushed out tenants. Then courts stepped in
Southern California cities like Los Angeles and Pasadena previously required landlords to provide relocation assistance to tenants displaced by excessive rent hikes, but recent court rulings declared these policies illegal. Landlord groups argued the requirements violated legal rights by penalizing lawful rent increases, leading cities to remove enforcement of the policy, leaving tenants to bear relocation costs alone.
