Los Angeles City Council is considering two proposed ordinances to protect renters: one providing legal representation for tenants facing eviction and the other allowing tenants to keep pets acquired during the pandemic.
The right-to-counsel proposal aims to establish a permanent eviction defense program, ensuring legal services for low-income tenants. The estimated cost of the program is $67.8 million per year.
The proposed ordinances must pass the City Council and are expected to be reviewed next year. [ more ]
