The board's action keeps in place existing protections against “no-fault” evictions through March 31 -- protections that had been set to expire at the end of January.
Under the move, property owners who receive the relief funds must agree not to evict tenants for non-payment of rent.Despite vehement opposition from one of its members, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted today to extend eviction protections for many pandemic-impacted tenants in unincorporated areas through the end of the year.
But the extension met with the ire of Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who cast the sole vote against the move and said landlords have suffered enough financial harm -- sometimes by tenants taking advantage of the eviction moratorium to avoid paying rent. "Landlords are saying enough is enough," she said, calling on the county to develop a plan for phasing out eviction protections. She called the extension of an eviction moratorium "a gross expansion of renter protection policy with no clear end in sight."
Beginning April 1, the county will reinstate protections against renters who fail to pay their rent. But starting June 1, the protection for non-payment will be provided only to lower-income tenants -- those who make up to 80% of AMI, the area median income.
