BREAKING NEWS: The Los Angeles City Council has voted to end long-standing renter eviction protections due to COVID-19 hardship on Jan. 31, 2023.
"When the pandemic began, the Los Angeles City Council enacted the nation's strongest eviction protections, and today we are ensuring a careful, thoughtful transition as the pandemic recedes and this policy sunsets," said Council President Pro Tempore Mitch O'Farrell in a statement.
Starting Dec. 1, tenants must provide proof that they were economically impacted by the pandemic in order to continue being protected by the moratorium. Though it officially ends on January 1, 2023, tenants will have a full year to repay their COVID rent debt. This is a developing story.
