The Beverly Hills Rent Stabilization Commission took up the question of relocation fees on Nov. 4, beginning the long process of making recommendations to send to the City Council. While the City currently requires relocation fees for renters subject to no-fault evictions, the fees are lower than in surrounding cities and have stagnated since their introduction in 2017. The meeting went deep into the history of relocation fees in the City and considered multiple permutations of how they might look in the future.
At the outset of the discussion, Commission Chair Lou Milkowski described the subject as “a real meat-on-the-bone type of legislation for us to look at.”
