NC President Zaid Diaz-Arias, City Council Member of the Second District Adrin Nazarian, and NC Parliamentarian Jennie Palluzzi
On April 2nd, the North Hollywood Northeast Neighborhood Council, in partnership with KeepLAHoused and the Noho Neighborhood Council, hosted a powerful Rent Stabilization Ordinance Town Hall that filled the MCC United Church Of Christ In The Valley with over 100 renters, advocates, and neighbors—all coming together for one purpose:
👉 To demand that the City of Los Angeles cap rent increases at 3% annually.
We were honored to welcome Councilmember Adrin Nazarian of Council District 2 as our special guest. With over 60% of his district made up of renters, our message to him was clear: The status quo is unsustainable.
The proposed reforms would:
-
Limit annual rent hikes to 60% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), with a hard cap of 3%
-
Ban added charges for extra tenants or utilities
📢 This town hall wasn’t just a discussion—it was the result of months of grassroots organizing and cross-community collaboration. From building alliances with community organization and Valley neighborhood councils to amplifying voices often left unheard, this was community power in action.
Councilmember Nazarian heard directly from residents about how rising rents—even in so-called “rent-controlled” units—are pushing families out of their homes.
Together, we sent a strong message to City Hall:
🛑 Stop the rent hikes. Cap it at 3%.
🏠 Protect our neighborhoods. Keep LA housed.
The fight for housing justice is far from over, but last night proved we’re stronger when we stand together. Thank you to everyone who showed up, spoke out, and continues to push for a more equitable Los Angeles.
Stay engaged, stay organized, and stay loud.
