Courts strike down LA and Pasadena rules that made landlords pay tenants over rent hikes
- For a few years, Los Angeles and Pasadena required landlords to help pay tenants' moving costs when a steep rent increase effectively forced them out.
- California appellate courts have now struck those rules down, finding they collided with a state law that lets owners set rents freely on many properties, and leaving renters without that cushion.
