Los Angeles law requires landlords to post specific tenant notices in every residential building. Failure to comply is a criminal misdemeanor — and tenants can use it as a defense against eviction. We handle it for you.
L.A.M.C. 151.09.C.9 & 165.05.B.5 — Failure to post required notices is a misdemeanor. In any action by a landlord to recover possession of residential real property, the tenant may raise a landlord's failure to post as an affirmative defense against eviction.
You own rental property in Los Angeles but don't want to hand it over to a management company. That's smart — but the rules change, and staying current is a full-time job. We keep you covered.
A missing notice isn't a fine — it's a misdemeanor. One missing posting can also give a tenant grounds to fight an eviction, costing you months of lost rent and legal fees.
The most recent RSO posting requirement was updated February 2, 2026. The Notice of Right to Counsel became mandatory August 20, 2025. We track every change so you don't have to.

Must be posted in a conspicuous common area AND provided to tenants at the start of every tenancy. Must also be attached to any eviction notice or termination of a rental subsidy.
All properties with RSO rental units must post the current notification. Older versions do not satisfy the requirement — only the most recently issued notice from LAHD is valid.
All units rented or offered for rent must be registered annually with LAHD. New property owners have 45 days from acquisition to register and file any applicable temporary exemptions.
In addition to paying the annual registration fee, landlords must also complete the Rent Registry form. Registration costs may be shared between landlords and tenants.
