LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles renters who have been relying on the city’s COVID-19 eviction moratorium for the last two years could see changes, with several city councilors signaling an intent July 27 to discuss refining or possibly ending the moratorium.

Councilman John Lee, the only councilor to vote against extending the city’s local emergency declaration due to the pandemic on Wednesday, held a news conference with a group of “mom-and-pop” landlords before the meeting, calling for a set date for the moratorium to end.
