Does Santa Ana's rent stabilization ordinance affect a sale?

The sale goes through escrow normally, but the buyer of a rental takes over the existing tenancies. Covered units have rules on rent increases and evictions, so buyers should review leases, rent history and registry status before removing contingencies, and ask their agent or an attorney how the ordinance applies.

No. Santa Ana sales pay only Orange County's documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000.
