What areas do NOT have rent control? (Los Angeles, Long Beach: apartments, to rent)

[raprazant]

Hi City-Data folks,

First of all, I love the forum!

There's a out of town family member who’s looking for 10-50 unit apartment buildings.

Do you know the areas in Los Angeles where there is no rent control? He wants to avoid rent control since he improves the buildings and rents them out at market rates.

So far I have:
- El Segundo
- Long Beach
- Inglewood
- Hawthorne

Thanks in advance!

PS. If you know anyone selling large apartments over $1 mil and over 10 units PM me.

As an FYI, Rent Control (Rent Stabilization in Los Angeles) does not apply to apartments built after October 1978 (the CO issued after October 1978) so that might provide some opportunities in Los Angeles.

There are only five cities in Los Angeles County which have rent control: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Malibu, and West Hollywood. None of the others have it.

Its been a long time since I've rented in SM, but doesn't rent control only apply to some units? I seem to remember some are protected and others are not. I could be completely off though.

rent control is more the exception and not the rule.
