Housing Resources
The 13th Council District is home to many diverse neighborhoods. Councilmember O'Farrell values our communities and believes that the rights of property owners and tenants should be protected.
Approximately 80% of the households in the 13th District are renters. The Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department has many resources regarding Fair Housing Laws and the Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
