For Los Angeles county rental housing. Stranglehold on small landlords

[Will F.]

Reminder: Help stop stranglehold on LA County rental housing

Tell the Board of Supervisors Enough is Enough! Oppose item 54-A

TODAY, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is considering a draconian measure to take control over all rental units in LA County. This is a blatant power-grab by supervisors to override state and local laws and write their own rules for how you provide rental housing in every city in Los Angeles County. This proposal would: Prohibit a housing provider from evicting a tenant without a just cause as defined under the county code -- going further than state law/ Prevent a landlord from evicting a tenant if they moved in an unauthorized pet or occupant between March 4,2020 and Jan. 20, 2023/ Tell landlords how rent payments must be applied even when the tenant is delinquent on rent. Limit rent increases to 3% in the unincorporated county to the extent allowed by state law. Prohibit late fees for another year. CAA unequivocally opposes this action and sent this letter to the Board of Supervisors, outlining significant concerns questioning the Board’s authority to take this action. LA County Supervisors think they know best and aim to wield power, override state and local laws and write their own rules for how you provide rental housing in every city in Los Angeles County. While the proposal excludes nonpayment of rent provisions, it would use a strained interpretation of emergency authority to maintain countywide eviction controls over all rental units.
