Full summary

Mayor Karen Bass nominated Nadine Isaacs to fill a vacancy on the Rent Adjustment Commission created by the departure of Presiliano Sandoval. The commission oversees rent dispute resolution and adjustments under Los Angeles's rent stabilization ordinance. Isaacs would serve a term ending May 20, 2030, and her confirmation requires a full City Council vote. Isaacs is a South LA resident (Council District 8) who currently serves as Assistant Director of Annual Giving at USC's Gould School of Law. Her background includes community engagement work at LA Family Housing during the COVID-19 pandemic, where she coordinated services across more than a dozen shelter sites, and prior service as chair of the City of Pasadena Human Services Commission from 2022 to 2025, where she advised on housing resources, mental health, and early childhood programs. She holds a master's degree in Social Entrepreneurship from USC's Marshall School of Business. The nomination was referred to the Housing and Homelessness Committee, chaired by Councilmember Nithya Raman, which scheduled a hearing for June 17, 2026. That meeting was cancelled, and on June 18 the committee waived consideration of the item rather than rescheduling. A waiver sends the matter forward without a formal committee vote, meaning the appointment could proceed directly to the full Council. The file remains open and does not expire until June 2028. A full Council hearing and oath of office ceremony would follow if the Council votes to confirm the appointment.
