Proposed permanent new renter protections in L.A. have been sent to the full city council for a vote on Friday.
Angelenos are one step closer to getting additional tenant protections, as a package of proposals to further protect renters passed out of the Los Angeles City Council’s Housing and Homeless Committee on Wednesday, Jan. 18.
Tenants in rent-stabilized units or that are covered under a separate state law already have just-cause protection. What the council is now considering would expand just-cause protections to tenants in about 396,000 other rental units in the city. The amendment passed 3-2. Councilmember Nithya Raman cast one of the no votes, saying she was uncomfortable voting for something without having time to review the potential ramifications it might have for tenants. At the same time, she agreed to call a vote on it and acknowledged that councilmembers are facing a tight deadline to pass new tenant protections before the eviction moratorium sunsets on February 1.
