Pasadena rental registry window: September 1 through October 31

Pasadena's rental registry window runs September 1 through October 31 every year, and registering a unit costs $236.54 per unit per year. Miss it and the penalty starts at 15% of the fee and climbs from there, and a property that is not in substantial compliance cannot impose the Annual General Adjustment at all.

Also on this date

  • Pasadena Annual General Adjustment takes effect

    The new AGA applies to rent years starting October 1, and Charter §1808(a)(4) gives you until September 30 to take it. Miss the window and it does not carry forward. It is only yours to impose if you are in substantial compliance with the Charter and the PRHB Regulations, rental registration included (Charter §1808(e)(1), PRHB Regulations Chapter 9 §I.1). The notice needs thirty days (Charter §1808(c)) and must state that Article XVIII exists and that the tenant may petition (Charter §1808(d)).

What has to be true before you may impose the AGA Substantial compliance, registration included

PRHB Regulations Chapter 9 §I.1, citing Charter §1808(e)(1): a landlord who has failed to substantially comply with the Charter Amendment and the PRHB Regulations, including the rental registration requirements, may not impose an Annual General Adjustment rent increase on any covered rental unit. Charter §1808(e) puts two more conditions alongside it: no increase is effective if the unit is not maintained in compliance with Civil Code §1941.1 et seq. and Health & Safety Code §§17920.3 and 17920.10, or if ordered repairs have not been made.

What we do not hold

  • The resolution number that adopted the $236.54 Rental Housing Fee is not in our table. The amount, the window and the late tiers are from the city's own rental registry page.
  • Charter §1812(c) says owners must register "no later than April 1st" each year, while PRHB Regulations Chapter 9 §C.1 and the city's registry page both set the annual deadline at October 31. We follow the Board's regulation and the city's published window, because that is what the Rent Stabilization Department administers, and we note the Charter text says otherwise.
