Rent Stabilization

The Rent Stabilization Division administers and enforces the City's Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO). All multifamily rental properties, two or more residential units, are subject to the RSO unless expressly exempted by BHMC§§ 4-5-102 or 4-6-1

To report a violation of the RSO, please call Rent Stabilization Division at (310) 285-1031.


Maximum Annual Rent Increase

The current allowable rent increase of 3.1% for certain eligible households who missed an increase from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 will expire on June 30, 2023. 

In order to establish any allowable rent increase following the June 30, 2023 expiration, the Rent Stabilization Division will present a report to the City Council once the required Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area information is publicly available.  The data will be made public by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics on or around June 10, 2023, and staff plans to bring the calculations forward to the City Council as soon as possible after this date. This discussion will address future rent increases for both Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 tenants. 
 
For any further questions, please feel free to contact the Rent Stabilization Division by emailing bhrent@beverlyhills.org or calling 310-285-1031

For Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 from June 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023: 

Pursuant to Urgency Ordinance 20-O-2818 and Urgency Ordinance 22-O-2861, the Beverly Hills moratorium on annual rent increases ended on May 31, 2022. Some units are now eligible to receive a rent increase not to exceed 3.10%. However, this increase can only be applied to units where an allowable rent increase for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 was not imposed or was imposed at a rate less than 3.10%. If a rent increase of less than 3.10% was imposed between July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, then the rent increase for the period between June 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 cannot exceed 3.10% when added as the sum of the increase from the period of July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020.
