The Los Angeles City Council will expand a COVID-era program to assist renters facing eviction, after a 12–0 vote Dec. 12 directing staff to draft an ordinance that would provide legal counsel for such tenants.

Council President Paul Krekorian recused himself from the vote due to a conflict of interest as he is a landlord and Councilors Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Curren Price were absent during the vote. The city attorney, with assistance from the city’s Housing Department, was required to prepare and present a draft within 60 days.
