After two pandemic years, California’s broad safety net for renters is going away.
After two years, four extensions and untold numbers of public and private aid programs, California’s broad safety net for renters struggling through the pandemic is being dismantled this month.
The picture of housing insecurity across the state is bleak, even as California emerges from COVID-19 restrictions, advocates say. The state has not reached pre-pandemic levels of unemployment, and the service industry and low-income workers have been hit hard. About three-quarters of a million California renters were behind on their rent in February, according to the National Equity Atlas.
The legislation also gives landlords something they wanted — a ban on new, local eviction moratoriums. A few Bay Area cities, including San Francisco and San Jose, were considering new protections. Advocates encourage tenants to clearly mark their payment to indicate the money applies to the April 2022 bill. Otherwise, a property owner might consider the money a partial payment on back rent.
