The Department investigates violations of the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), and the City’s multifamily residential Housing Code. If you have experienced a violation of the RSO, or are living under unsafe or unhealthy conditions, file a complaint, and we will help you address your housing issues and habitability concerns

Assistance is available for all Angelenos regardless of immigration status.
