Tips for Renting in Pasadena
If you are renting in Pasadena, your rent cannot be increased unless it specifically states otherwise in the lease. If you are on a month-to-month basis, however, then the landlord can increase your rent, but not without giving you a notice in writing first. They must notify you 30 days in advance if the increase is less than 10 percent, and 60 days in advance if the rent is greater than 10 percent.
If you are moving to Pasadena from Los Angeles, be prepared for roughly the same commute times and an even hotter summer. Likewise, if you are moving to Pasadena from the beach (whichever one it may be), say “goodbye” to the ocean breeze and “hello” to some of the hottest summers you’ve ever experienced!
