Supervisors Vote to Extend County COVID-19 Tenant Protections Through January 2022

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Sept. 28 voted to extend LA  County’s temporary eviction moratorium through Jan. 31, 2022. These protections, which went into effect March 2020 and set to expire on Sept. 30, provided a set of affirmative defenses against evictions for residential and commercial tenants, as well as mobile home space renters.

The updated policy, now renamed the county’s COVID-19 Tenant Protections Resolution, continues to provide a defense against eviction for residential and commercial tenants, while also expanding the owner move-in provisions. 

Notably, the updated resolution expands the owner move-in exception to allow property owners or their qualifying family members to move into up to two units as their principal residence(s) if the single-family home, condominium unit, mobile home space, duplex and/or triplex was purchased by the property owner on or before June 30, 2021, and if certain conditions are met. It also clarifies provisions not preempted by State law, such as residential nonpayment of rent due to COVID-19 financial hardship.
