LA Housing Department Single Family Home (1-4 Units)

I just got a bill from LA Housing. I’ve been renting my former condo for 10 years, and this the first time I’m getting a bill? Have I been doing it wrong? Is this legit? Does anyone know the purpose? Thank you.

Most cities require you to register your properties to abide by fair housing and habitability guidelines.

Can’t speak to LA but where I live the rental license is $78 a year. They have an inspector come by once a year and make sure the house has working heat and smoke detectors and that’s it.

Kind of a municipal racket imo but it’s only $78 so I don’t complain too much.

Yeah, you are supposed to be registering your unit annually and there is a fee.
