LA City Council to Vote on Major Rent Control Changes

The Los Angeles City Council is set to vote Wednesday, November 12, 2025, on a sweeping rent control proposal that could dramatically affect housing providers.

What’s Proposed

• Rent increases capped at 3%, tied to only 60% of the CPI

• Utility pass-throughs may be eliminated

• Guaranteed minimum annual increases could be removed

  
  

These changes could make it harder for landlords to maintain properties, discourage new construction, and ultimately reduce long-term housing affordability.

Why It Matters

Housing provider groups warn this could push owners out of the market and shrink the rental supply. With the full council vote still ahead, public input could make a real difference.
