City of Los Angeles Local Emergency Extended Once More: Moratoriums on Evictions and Rent Increases
At the April 27th City Council meeting, the City’s local emergency was extended for another 30 days, with Councilmembers Buscaino and Lee voting in opposition, and with it the extension of the City’s eviction moratorium and rent increase freeze whose expirations are directly tied to the expiration of the local emergency. Both Councilmembers Buscaino and Lee have repeatedly voted against the continued extension of the local emergency and have raised concerns regarding the detrimental impact of this action on small business rental housing providers.
On a related matter, on Monday, April 25th, the Los Angeles Ad Hoc Committee on COVID-19 Recovery and Neighborhood Investment held a special meeting and advanced a motion directing the City’s Housing Department to report on recommended amendments to the City’s eviction moratorium and data related to the Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
The Association continues to vocalize our strong opposition to the City’s eviction moratorium and rent increase freeze and call on the City Council to end the eviction moratorium rent increase freeze immediately.
