What information do I need to complete the re-registration of new tenancies online?

Make sure that you have created an account online. Click here to open the landlord guide to the online service portal. Please remember that in order to complete the re-registration of new tenancies, you are required to provide the following:

Tenant(s) First and Last Name(s)
Tenant(s) Email
Tenant(s) phone number
Move-in Date
Initial Rent Amount
List of housing services being provided.

Be advised that you will not be able to complete the re-registration process online without the tenant's email. If your tenant cannot provide you with their email address, you will need to submit the 3-part carbon copy re-registration form to our office instead. Please call our office at (323)848-6450 to request a re-registration form be mailed to you, only if your tenant cannot provide you with an email address.

Will I be able to get a copy of the re-registration I entered online?

Yes. You will receive an email confirming all the information you submitted through the online re-registration process.

What type of payment methods will be accepted?

At this time, the only type of payment methods accepted are: Visa, MasterCard or AMEX. Unfortunately, e-check payments are not accepted.

Can I still mail-in my payment? Is it possible to make partial payments?

Yes. If paying by check, address payment to City of West Hollywood and mail to the following address:
City of West Hollywood c/o US Bank
PO Box 51946
Los Angeles, CA 90051-6246.

Partial payments are not accepted through the online portal. If you wish to discuss a payment plan, please call (323)848-6450 and ask to speak to a Rent Stabilization Information Coordinator.

How is the annual rent registration fee calculated?

As of July 1, 2017, the fee per unit is $144. Units that are occupied by Section 8 tenants are charged $60, only if the Special 8 re-registration form was accepted by the City. Please call our office at (323)848-6450, if you have any questions on how to re-register a Section 8 tenancy.

Why does my account have a balance?

Unpaid balances from past billing periods could mean that the previous property owner(s) did not pay the outstanding fees. The new property owner(s) is/are now responsible for paying any outstanding balances. If you have proof that the previous balance was paid, please call our office at (323)848-6450 to clear this matter. If you were unable to make the payment on any outstanding balance due to exceptional circumstances, click here to apply for a waiver of the penalty fees.

How much of the rent registration fee can I pass-through to the tenants?

$72 may be passed through to the tenant pro-rated so that the tenants could be asked to pay a $6 rent surcharge every month. Since landlords will continue to pay $60 per unit for units that are part of the Section 8 program, no tenant pass-through is allowed.

Are units that are owner or relative occupied exempt from the registration fee?

If there is a unit on the property that is being occupied by the owner or the owner's relative (parent, grandparent, brother, sister or child by blood or adoption), you must submit an exemption application by July 1st to be exempt from the registration fee.
