Some areas have established rules regulating when and how much the rent on a unit can be raised, under a clause known as rent-control. So far, Santa Monica is the only part of Los Angles that enforces rent-control, and some of the listings that we cover in Santa Monica are under its jurisdiction. If you are unsure if the rental that you are looking at is rent-controlled you should contact the landlord for more information.
Section 8 is a special housing assistance program sponsored by the government. The landlords that advertise Section 8 in their listings can accept the program credentials, but not all landlords are aware of the program. If you have enrolled in the Section 8 program, ask any prospective landlords if they are currently enrolled with the HUD housing program, or if they have considered signing up for the Section 8 program.
We do offer some rental units that are advertised as Section 8 compliant.
in the quick search bar on top of the right hand corner of the power search page, type in Section 8, the results are available properties for immediate occupancy that accept section 8 HUD program.
