TITLE (Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance and Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance)
Operative Text
This chapter shall be known as the Rent Stabilization Ordinance of the City of Los Angeles.
Section 151.00 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code formally establishes the official name of the local rent control law: the Rent Stabilization Ordinance of the City of Los Angeles. This title provision serves as the legal anchor for the entire chapter, meaning all subsequent rent stabilization rules in Chapter XV, Article 1 operate under this named ordinance. The provision itself does not impose obligations or grant rights on its own, but it identifies the framework under which those rules exist.
Plain English — not legal advice.

Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full scope of the ordinance bearing this title, as it governs a wide range of landlord conduct throughout the city. Understanding that all related provisions trace back to this named chapter helps operators contextualize their compliance responsibilities.
