The California Apartment Association has issued an “Industry Insight” paper to help rental housing owners comply with a Section 8-related ordinance taking effect next week in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.
Effective Friday, July 19, the county’s “source of income protection” law requires that landlords consider for tenancy all applicants with the ability to pay for a given unit, including those who would pay their rent using Section 8.
The ordinance, approved by county supervisors in June, bans blanket policies against renting to voucher holders, as well as advertisements to that effect. It also prohibits landlords from rejecting an applicant based on the use of a voucher.
