Rent & eviction protection

Is 7838 W Manchester Ave rent-stabilized?

The Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) caps annual rent increases and requires a legal reason to evict for most rental units first built on or before October 1, 1978. Here's how this building scores on the signals that usually point to coverage.

Built on/before Oct 1, 1978
Built 1961
2 or more units
6 units

500
Zoning
LAR3
Likely covered by the RSO. Building age and unit count suggest most units fall under LA's Rent Stabilization Ordinance, which limits yearly rent increases and requires just cause to evict.

Based on LA County Assessor records. Coverage also extends to condos, townhomes, duplexes, and units attached to commercial buildings. Not legal advice — confirm with the LA Housing Department.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The six-unit property at 7838 W Manchester Avenue in Playa del Rey, built in 1961 and currently owned by 7838 W Manchester LLC, has had regular interactions with municipal services over the past seven years. The building has undergone 31 safety inspections during this period, which is a significant number suggesting proactive oversight, though it's worth noting only one building permit has been recorded in this timeframe. The property has generated six MyLA311 service requests since 2020, with the most recent three occurring in September-October 2023 and all relating to bulky item removals. Prior to these, there was one bulky items request in October 2021 and an electronic waste removal request in September 2020. An unusual historical record from July 2012 shows a miscellaneous complaint that appears to have been closed on the same day it was filed. While the building has had multiple safety inspections and service requests, there are no recorded incidents or patterns that suggest persistent safety or resident experience issues.

Risk rating

How 7838 W Manchester Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of LA County code enforcement data — code enforcement cases, building & safety requests, foreclosure registrations, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that LA County will open a code enforcement case at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

LA County rarely opens code cases here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. LA County has opened cases here before and is statistically likely to again.
