Beverly Hills is one of the most recognizable addresses in the world — and its rental market reflects that. As an independent city entirely surrounded by Los Angeles, Beverly Hills combines excellent schools, manicured streets, world-class dining, and proximity to major employment centers. Rents here are among the highest in Southern California, but the range is wider than most people expect.

Why Beverly Hills Doesn't Have Rent Control
Unlike Los Angeles and West Hollywood, Beverly Hills does not have a local rent stabilization ordinance. California's statewide AB 1482 applies to qualifying buildings over 15 years old, capping annual rent increases at 5% + local CPI (maximum 10%). But newer buildings and single-family homes are exempt. This means rents can — and do — increase more aggressively at lease renewal than in neighboring rent-controlled jurisdictions.
What You Get for the Money
Beverly Hills commands a premium for good reasons. The Beverly Hills Unified School District is consistently ranked among the top public school systems in California. The city has its own police department with a notably low crime rate. Streets are clean, well-lit, and maintained. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center — one of the nation's top hospitals — is minutes away.
For renters with school-age children, families, or professionals who value the school district and safety, Beverly Hills rents can represent genuine value relative to comparable private school and security costs elsewhere.
Renter Tips
- Income requirements are strict. Most Beverly Hills landlords require documented income of 3×–4× the monthly rent. Have your most recent pay stubs and bank statements ready.
- Act quickly on anything under $3,500/mo. Affordable Beverly Hills units attract multiple applications within days.
- Ask about parking and utilities. Many buildings include 1–2 parking spaces. Utilities are usually separate.
- Negotiate before signing. Despite the prestige, Beverly Hills landlords are often willing to offer a free month or cover move-in costs on longer-term leases.
