Starting Sept. 1, rent for most WeHo’ans will be slightly increased.
The increase is due to the yearly rent adjustment, and will be .75 percent of rent. It will run until at least Aug. 31, 2014.
The yearly rent adjustment is determined by using 75 percent of the rise in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Consumer Price Index from May to May each year.
WeHo’ans will need to pay the increase if they have lived in their units for at least 12 months, or it has been at least 12 months since their last rent increase.
Landlords must give tenants 30-days notice of the rent increase.
Also, tenants may have to pay part of the registration fee for rent-stabilized apartments in the city ($120 per year per unit). Landlords can pass along $60 of the fee to their tenants.
Tenants who are 62 or over, or handicapped, and who also qualify as very low income are eligible to receive a rebate.
