Cities such as Maywood, Bell Gardens and Cudahy are trying to address the affordable housing and homelessness crises. Landlords argue rent control will result in less housing.
As the L.A. rental market soars out of reach for many working families, one community wants to hold on to its low-cost housing.cleaning gun at work, and has a jagged scar on his arm to show for it. That July he applied for workers’ compensation, and a few months later he left the job. The checks arrived by the time he returned home in January from spending time with family in Mexico. Alvarez used the money to pay his rent for several months, then borrowed money from his friends.
In recent weeks, Alvarez has received notices that he is $280 behind on rent, but he says he has consistently made his $924 payment. Other tenants in the building complain of notices with mixed messages about how much rent they have to pay. Proponents of rent control point out that under California’s Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, jurisdictions can enact rent control only on buildings constructed before 1995. But opponents say that because the law is under attack by politicians and activists, developers still hesitate to build in areas with rent control statutes on the books.
