South Pasadena rejects rent control, will focus on mediation

Instead of imposing rent control or just-cause policies, the city of  South Pasadena will work on strengthening its mediation program for landlord-tenant disputes.

The South Pasadena City Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to adopt this more sensible approach to handling renter grievances, following a recommendation from the city’s  Ad Hoc Committee on Rent Stabilization.
