Will my ADU fall under Los Angeles rent stabilization ordinance when built?
Note: This information pertains to properties in the City of Los Angeles. For more information, please contact the RSO Determination Department, https://hcidla2.lacity.org/RSO-Overview.
Last week I was asked a very interesting question, "Is an ADU on a single-family residence subject to the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance?" The short answer to this is YES because the property moving from Single-Family Residence to Duplex or Triplex, the property is subject to rent stabilization ordinances. Any future new development on that parcel will be rent-controlled units unless you do not develop on that property for 5 years after rent-controlled units are taken off the market.
We have created a flow chart, ADU RSO Flow Chart, to see if your property will fall under rent stabilization ordinances.
