Renters who have taken in people displaced by the Los Angeles wildfires now have some eviction protections due to a new executive order.
The new order, from Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday, Jan. 17, prohibits landlords from evicting tenants who violate an occupancy provision of their lease because they are sheltering at least one person due to the ongoing emergency.
“At a time when so many have been suddenly displaced, we need more housing and shelter than ever,” Newsom said in a statement. “Opening your place of residence to help shelter those in need is not only encouraged and generous, but deserves to be protected.”
The order does not prohibit landlords from enforcing other lease terms, particularly those that deal with criminal activity or property damage, according to the governor’s office.
The recent order is in effect until March 8.
Friday’s executive order is just the latest in a series issued by the governor in the aftermath of the fires. Most have dealt with housing, from fast-tracking the building of temporary structures to prohibiting Los Angeles County landlords from evicting a tenant and then re-letting that unit at a higher price.
I wonder what happens when one of the displaced people decides to ‘squat’.
Newsome demonstrates what is wrong about the explosion of the use of “executive orders” which eviscerates the concept of a nation ruled by its laws made by majorities of the elected legislators. Instead of the executives compounding the problem by their own executive orders, they should be speaking out against the laws that made use of such orders possible, as well as speaking out against the mass of wrongful and unnecessary Leftist oriented laws, pretending to “help” some by taking away the rights of others.
So how many displaced fire victims has Newsom and his aunty Nancy Pelosi taken in on their properties? Newsom and Pelosi have some huge multi-acre properties, and plenty of wine and cake to feed others.
California is a very strange planet
Do you think many displaced people want to move 500 miles away right now? LOL
How is it any of the governor’s business?
This greasy worm is out of control and has been for years.
Somebody please take the keys away from him.

How generous of that greaser maggot.
Perfect this will be a nightmare
I must not understand this. Newsome talks about protecting property rights of owners but prevents them from evicting someone they charitably take in? That doesn’t help the property owner. I have to have something wrong here.
Never mind. I re-read it. It protects RENTERS who take people in if it results in too many people being in their rental.
It looks like a potential disaster for the owner either way.
“Think of all the great things I can do with your money and property” - Gavin Newsome
We had a large number of fire losses in No. Cal., right in their neighborhood, a few years back. My sister had to flee her home in the Sonoma woods. Pelosi and Newsom did not help anyone.
I see this working out wonderfully
I’d be concerned about emergency sheltering morphing into squatters’ rights.
Gavin is probably working on a stategov plan to pay the costs for sheltering people. But he must first work out the details so the Dem-connected can extract maximum taxpayer $$$ into their pockets.
I’m having a little trouble understanding the language here a la Newscum. If I own the property, am I the renter? Or is the person who rents the property the renter? The rentee? Why doesn’t he use the word “landlord” for clarification? I smell a rat.
““Opening your place of residence to help shelter those in need is not only encouraged and generous, but deserves to be protected.”
It’s not their place, MORON!
And they’re always so generous with other people’s money and property.
Truly sickening.
“I wonder what happens when one of the displaced people decides to ‘squat’.”
My first thought too. The answer is that the renter/ homeowner has to go. The squater gets to stay. And that is why most people will never offer such help. If Newsome really wanted people to take in displaced people then he would make it so that anyone who takes in someone can force them to leave immediately with no questions asked.
