Under the proposal, a tenant would have to owe more than one month's fair market rent before they could be evicted. It will need a second vote next week.
The L.A. City Council voted unanimously Friday to dramatically expand protections for renters, underscoring the growing political might of the council’s progressive bloc.
A separate provision that would require landlords to pay relocation fees if rent is increased by more than 10%, or 5% plus inflation, was not voted on because an amendment approved during the meeting will require more time to draft. It is expected to come back before the council Tuesday. Two other prongs of the package were signed into law by Mayor Karen Bass this week and went into effect Friday.
Another provision that went into effect Friday blocks evictions until February 2024 for tenants who have unauthorized pets or who added residents who aren’t listed on leases. It also created a new timeline for paying back rent owed from the COVID-19 emergency period.
