Moratoriums extended

The LA County Board of Supervisors extended an existing temporary moratorium on evictions in parts of the County in response to the COVID-19 health emergency. The eviction moratorium will remain in place until July 31.

The temporary eviction moratorium covers all residential and commercial tenants in the County, except those who live or conduct business in cities that have already enacted their own eviction moratoria. The moratorium includes a ban on evictions for nonpayment of rent, if the tenant can show they have been financially impacted by the health emergency, among other protections.

The order also extends the temporary rent freeze in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Property owners
may not increase rent for rental units or spaces covered by LA County’s Rent Stabilization and Mobilehome Rent Stabilization ordinances. These actions are retroactive to March 4.

For details, contact a DCBA Rent Stabilization counselor by calling (833) 223-RENT (7368); email rent@dcba.lacounty.gov; or visit rent.lacounty.gov.

On Tuesday, the Glendale City Council also extended an existing temporary moratorium on residential evictions and rent increases to July 31 in response to
the COVID-19 health emergency.

Tenants are still required to pay rent and will have up to 12 months following the expiration of the moratorium (from July 31) to repay any back due rent; tenants are required to pay at least 25% of back due rent at the end of each three month period of the 12 month repayment period, unless the landlord and tenant agree to different repayment terms; the moratorium is valid only for those tenants unable to pay rent for a COVID-19-related reason such as a job loss or reduction in work hours associated with COVID-19, increased child care expenses, etc.

The order also extends the temporary rent freeze to July 31. This means land-lords may not issue new rent increases until the expiration of the emergency order, even if the increase is effective after the expiration of the order.
