What is rent control? It is the government control over the amount of rent charged, as for housing. It abides the collection of laws that restricts the rent a landlord can charge and limits the reasons for eviction. In the City of Hawthorne rent control and stabilization is unregulated. This implies that you can and will be charged double your rent within a notice of 30-60 days. Under the absence of rent control landlords may evict tenants, home renters, and owners for any unreasonable claims. According to Calten Law the "Los Angeles City Council passed rent control in 1978 and has maintained it ever since. Rent control is part of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, the ordinances which specially regulate things within the city." The City of Hawthorne and many others were not included in the passing of rent control. Join me in the fight against unregulated rent control and help protect the rights of hardworking people.
