Tenants in L.A. County reeling financially from the January wildfires could be protected from eviction for the next six months.
The L.A. County Board of Supervisors considered a proposal Tuesday to temporarily bar landlords from evicting renters who have taken a significant financial hit from the fires.
The motion, put forward by Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, is meant to encompass not just renters who lost homes in the fires but anyone whose livelihood was affected, including landscapers, housekeepers and caregivers. It would apply to all of L.A. County, including the areas devastated by the Eaton and Palisades fires. “These workers live throughout Los Angeles County — not only in or near the fire zones,” said Horvath, stressing that the proposal is a “narrowly targeted eviction protection” and not a blanket rent ban.
“Workers need time — not forever, just a little time,” added Horvath, whose district includes Pacific Palisades and Malibu.

These tinpot dicators on the city council will continue to use whatever “temporary emergency” powers they grabbed during COVID. Open the door and its damn hard to close it again.
Cut the crap. Just steal all the houses. That is what you want to do.
Yea. Landlords have to subsidize government failure again. The left is working overtime to undermine private property rights.
At what cost? And who, exactly, will be reimbursing the landlords? And where, exactly, will those funds come from? And really, shouldn’t this be extended to groceries, gas, utilities, car payments, insurance, clothing, entertainment, etc.? Is it right that this assistance be provided only by landlords? Sigh...
That is a taking.
The city just needs to pay the full rent for everyone in the city for the next six months. That should do the trick.
Private small landlords ARE the enemy in BLUE states and the various governments there have declared war on them via lawfare/legislation that singles them out.
In other words, LA County wants the landlords to pay the rent.
And this would be on top of any mortgage, insurance, property tax, income tax, repair and maintenance, etc.
This is EVIL. It is authoritarianism on par with Castro, Chavez, Maduro, etc. poorly masked as kindness.
All to advance the monopolization/control of our housing stock by government-controlled ‘private’ globalist entities, further disenfranchising Americans.
How generous of them... with other people’s money!
How’s a landlord supposed to survive?
Another problem is that freakin’ California Coastal Commision.....that abomination needs to be stripped of power and completely disbanded.
In what amounts to an HOA from hell, it’s a handful of little hitlers making the lives of 10s of thousands miserable with their asinine rules.
A forced socialism penalty for you free ( once free) entrepreneurs out there and now not loving it.
Why is it the LA gooooberment does not tell the banks “you must not collect any mortgage payment(s) from any landowner or borrower for the next 6 months as we have suspended any and all rent collections”?
I mean, is it because there are more renters than landlords or banks?
Only the people whose houses burnt down should qualify.
Bingo. More renters vote and vote DEMONRAT. Landlords, as a class are far fewer.
Nope all you have to do is “self attest” aka lie.
How’s a landlord supposed to survive?
><
That’s right. It appears that there is no consideration for the landlords.
It was a terrible precedent, which every leftist governor and mayor will repeat
YOU ARE CORRECT-—
IT IS A “TAKING”.
The proposal to temporarily bar landlords from evicting renters will also encompass
those whose livelihood was affected, including landscapers, housekeepers and caregivers.
It would apply to all of LA County, including the
areas devastated by the Eaton and Palisades fires.
