A handful of California cities are still enforcing laws that protect tenants from eviction or rent increases, extending pandemic-era policies that most of the country wound down more than a year ago.
The San Francisco board of supervisors voted in March to maintain a local eviction ban for unpaid rent until at least the summer. In Oakland and Berkeley, similar laws will also run into the summer months. The city of Los Angeles, meanwhile, extended a prohibition on evicting tenants for having unauthorized pets or occupants in their apartments. It also renewed a rent freeze on rent-controlled apartments until next year.

And never will be paid.
The so-called pandemic was just an excuse for government to wage war against the citizenry.
California is undergoing a revolution of sorts where the very notion of private property is being challenged. San Frantoilet is a case in point.
Yet another reason why I am glad that we got rid of all of our residential rental properties years ago.
And that was the original intention. The “moratorium” was opportunistic. It used the excuse of covid to illegally break a legal contract.
Their goal is to force land owners to rent FREE to people who then trash the place and will never pay.
Private property is the hated entity. They want it ALL owned by the collectivity. It’ll take some time to get there. The folks might realize what’s happening. So they’ll do it a little at a time.
California rental laws are insane. I just had to evict a transient scammer from my friends apartment. My friend is in the hospital and the scammer took the opportunity to steal his vehicle and credit cards while camped out at the apartment. The cops refused to arrest him because there was evidence the scammer was now receiving mail at the apartment and therefore was a legal “subtenant” even without anything in writing.
Thankfully he voluntarily departed as the eviction would have taken months. And then had the cojones to ask that we save his personal property that he left in the stolen vehicle
Then they wonder why low cost housing is disappearing.
How many property holders lost their property because they couldn’t make the payments to the lien holders?
I was sent a letter on April 7 from the city of Los Angeles that said my rent was stabilized and they wanted to know if my rent was higher then shown in the letter.
I received another letter at the end of the month from the owner for Notice of change of terms of tenancy showing the same rent amount BUT the city raised their fees from $3.61 to $4.44 for Systematic code enforcement surcharge and RSO registration fees.
Rent control?

How is this not an unlawful taking? Are landlords in CA brain dead?
Because of the illegal lockdown. The democrats destroyed 40%+ of the business’s in LA and San Francisco etc. They also stopped rent increases and still are which has to be illegal.
