LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council Friday approved a city law that will prohibit landlords from evicting tenants who are awaiting financial disbursement from the city’s most recent rental assistance program.
In a 13–0 vote, council members passed a city law to support tenants as many must pay back overdue rent accrued during the pandemic, specifically from Oct. 21, 2021 and Jan. 31, 2023. The law would prohibit landlords from evicting tenants for 120 days starting from Feb. 1, the deadline by which the overdue rent was to be paid back.
