Economic Study of the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) and the Los Angeles Housing Market

August 1, 2009 / By Daniel Flaming, Patrick Burns, Michael Matsunaga, Mirna Ponce, Ken Baar, Raphael Bostic and Malcolm Bennett / City of Los Angeles Housing Department

Severe overcrowding in Los Angeles rental housing fell 63 percent from 2000 to 2007, the most recent year for which data is available. Only 9 percent of renters are severely overcrowded, with 1.5 or more occupants per room. The bad news is that 58 percent of renters are rent-burdened, paying 30 percent or more of their income for rent.
