Ask us for recent Encino / Tarzana / Woodland Hills sales, current cap rates and price per unit for buildings like yours.
- Rent control
- City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO). It generally covers buildings with two or more units first occupied on or before October 1, 1978. Allowed annual increases are set by the city, and units can reset to market rent on vacancy under state law (Costa-Hawkins).
- Transfer taxes
- Measure ULA transfer tax applies to City of Los Angeles sales above set price thresholds, adjusted every year, on top of the normal county and city transfer tax. Sales just above a threshold can net less than sales just below it, so pricing strategy matters.
- Statewide rules
- Buildings not covered by local rent control are often covered by California AB 1482, which caps annual increases and requires just cause for most evictions in buildings over 15 years old.
