Pasadena rent stabilization, just cause, relocation, and tenant buyouts

The City’s current guidance says a sale or ownership change is not itself just cause for eviction. Pasadena also publishes a specific Tenant Buyout Rights notice and local procedures that must be reviewed before buyout negotiations. Covered rental units must also be registered annually with the City's Rent Stabilization Department, and registration carries a per-unit fee the City sets each cycle. Registered units receive an Annual General Adjustment, a percentage Pasadena recalculates on its own schedule, separate from the statewide cap. The City's Rental Registry page publishes the current registration window, fee, and Annual General Adjustment; confirm those figures there rather than from a prior cycle.
