The TAHO ordinance, which stands for Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance, is specific to the City of Los Angeles. It was enacted to protect tenants from harassment by landlords and to provide legal recourse for tenants who experience such harassment. The ordinance outlines various prohibited actions by landlords and establishes penalties for violations. Tenants need to go to court to get penalties paid in the form of damages. 

​

It's important to note that while the TAHO ordinance applies only to the City of Los Angeles, other cities within Los Angeles County may have similar ordinances or regulations aimed at protecting tenants from harassment or other forms of landlord misconduct. Therefore, tenants and landlords should be aware of the specific laws and regulations that apply to their location.
