Tenants in all RSO rental units are protected from harassment as provided in Article 5.3 of Chapter IV of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. In addition to the prohibited conduct listed in Section 45.33 of this Code, tenant harassment includes offering payments to a tenant to vacate their unit without providing written notice to the tenant of their rights under Section 151.31 of this Code (Tenant Buyout Notification Program), using the form prescribed by the Department. However, this shall not prohibit offers made in pending unlawful detainer actions.
