Landlords who expressed concern over Los Angeles County’s extended eviction moratorium may soon find relief as Los Angeles City Councilman Kevin de León said on Aug. 6 that he will introduce a motion to shorten the timeline for landlords to receive back rent for tenants who could not pay their rent due to COVID-19 restrictions.
“This is absolutely unacceptable to Angelenos every day facing the threat of eviction,” De León said. “We can’t afford to take this business-as-usual approach to one of the biggest crises that our city has ever met.”
