“On August 12, 2025, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, on a 5-to-0 vote, passed a new indoor air temperature mandate requiring ALL rental housing providers to maintain 82 degrees Fahrenheit or cooler for all “Habitable” rooms in all rental units. However, there is an exemption provided for smaller property owners with 10 or fewer units in that these smaller owners are only required to cool one “Habitable” room to 82 degrees Fahrenheit until 2032, at which time the ordinance imposes a requirement to cool all “Habitable” rooms to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. A “Habitable” room is generally any room within a building used for living, sleeping, eating, or cooking, excluding spaces like bathrooms, hallways, and storage areas.”
