Takeaways for dog owners on a budget
- Lowest-rent ZIPs with a city dog park: 90011 (Ross Snyder, $2,418), 90027 (Griffith Park, $2,584), 91406 (Sepulveda Basin, $2,596), 91601 (Whitnall, $2,605) and 90042 (Hermon, $2,634).
- The Westside costs more: ZIPs near the Westwood, Westminster (Venice) and Glen Alla parks ran from $3,216 to $3,921.
- Ask about pet rent and pet fees before you apply. A pet deposit counts toward the one-month security deposit cap.
City dog-park rules cite the LA Municipal Code: dogs must be licensed and vaccinated and spayed or neutered, and puppies under four months are not allowed. Check the Recreation and Parks dog park page for each park’s hours and closures.
California pet-rental rules to know (verified October 31, 2026)
- Deposits: Under Civil Code 1950.5(c)(1) (AB 12), the total security a landlord can collect is generally capped at one month’s rent, whether it is called a pet deposit or not, because “security” includes any payment, fee, deposit or charge used to cover damage or cleaning. A small landlord (a natural person or an LLC of natural persons owning no more than two properties with no more than four units total) may collect up to two months, but not from a service member. Deposits can’t be labeled nonrefundable (1950.5(n)). See our AB 12 guide.
- AB 2216 did not become law. The 2023-24 bill that would have limited no-pet policies passed the Assembly but died in the Senate on November 30, 2024. Landlords in California can still refuse pets (assistance animals are covered by separate fair-housing rules).
- New: SB 1296 (signed September 30, 2026). Starting April 1, 2027, landlords must have a written pet policy, even if it is “no pets.” They must link to it in their listings where the platform allows, and include a copy with every rental application. If an applicant pays an application fee without getting the policy and can’t or won’t proceed because of it, they can ask for a refund, due within seven business days. The law does not require landlords to allow pets.
- Pending: AB 2609 (2025-26), which would limit pet rent and pet deposits, was still in Assembly Judiciary when we checked; its April 27, 2026 hearing was canceled at the author’s request. It is not law.
About the numbers
Zillow ZORI is a smoothed, ZIP-level index of typical observed market asking rents across all home types (not a single listing, and not bedroom-specific). It does not guarantee a specific unit at that price. Always confirm rent, fees and terms with the landlord in writing.
