🚨 BREAKING: LA County just voted 4-1 to let renters fall TWO FULL MONTHS behind on rent before eviction can even start (effective mid-April 2026 in unincorporated areas under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance). Fair market rent threshold ≈ $2,085 (1-bed) / $2,601 (2-bed). They call it “modest tenant protection” to stop homelessness. From the inside (property management perspective): They love saying it’s all “down on their luck” people needing a break. Reality check—99% of the evictions I handle aren’t that story. Most have zero job, live off welfare/government programs in a non-productive way, and bounce from charity to charity (Catholic Charities, college funds, etc.) getting one free month’s rent check after another. I’ve watched tenants walk in with a fresh charity check smiling like it’s Christmas—then go right back to zero effort. Now they get an extra 30 days to “chill” before the sheriff shows up. Landlords eat the loss, responsible tenants pay higher rents to cover it, and taxpayers fund the cycle. This isn’t help—it’s enabling bad behavior and punishing property owners with more government overreach. Smart policy or total disaster?

Tenant Tip: The Eviction Process! While doing eviction defense work, the most common comment I would hear from tenants dealing with evictions was: “I’ve never been through this before, I don’t know what’s going on.” Evictions move fast and can be a truly frightening process so it helps to know what to expect. Please note, I had to leave a LOT out of this video, including demurrers, discovery, motion work, claims of right to possession, and appeals. This video is just a very basic overview of the process. If you are dealing with an eviction, seek legal counsel! I recommend checking out StayHousedLA.org and attending one of their workshops. **DISCLAIMER: THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE!** #tenantsrights #evictions #housingcrisis #cd5 losangeles

FOR LOS ANGELES ✨ Los Angeles will soon give tenants the option to skip out on paying two months of rent until their landlords can begin eviction proceedings. @pop_pasadena

LHA rates are frozen, market rents are rising. When policy decouples from reality, the most vulnerable don’t just struggle—they fall through the cracks of a systemic design flaw. In many areas, the 30th percentile of market rents has surged beyond the benefit ceiling, leaving a “black hole” in household budgets. This gap doesn’t just make life harder; it creates a direct pipeline to legal exclusion. When the benefit gap becomes unbridgeable, tenants inevitably fall into arrears. Under the Renters’ Rights Act, the only way for a landlord to regain possession is a court order. The result? The tenant doesn’t just lose their home; they gain a CCJ. In our automated world, this triggers the quieter crisis of the Act: the unintended wall of Tenant Screening. A CCJ is a digital barrier that effectively blacklists a person from the private sector for years, funneling them into a broken emergency housing system. As a landlord who has run an emergency housing business, I’ve seen this “cliff edge” firsthand. With Section 21 gone, evictions must use Section 8 (fault-based) grounds. This necessitates court action, resulting in judgments that lock tenants out of future homes. Faced with the inability to end a tenancy without “fault,” landlords are now screening for perfection. If you aren’t the “ideal” applicant, the system makes you invisible. From the front lines, I know local authority budgets are not what they were. While homelessness costs have soared to record highs (reaching £2.8bn nationally), funding for prevention is shrinking. We are creating a “closed loop” where the vulnerable are screened out of the private sector, yet the state safety net is too frayed to catch them. This isn’t just a policy failure; it’s a design that guarantees more homelessness. #HousingEvidence #RentersRightsAct #HousingPolicy #SystemsArchitect #LHA UKHousingMarket HomelessnessPrevention EmergencyHousing HousingJustice RegenerativeProperty EthicalLandlord PropertyWithPurpose CCJ TenantReferencing

The L.A. County Board of Supervisors has voted to extend housing price-gouging protections through April 28, 2026. The protections limit price-gouging in the rental market and in hotels and motels. The extension continues the protections against eviction and the protections of County Code Title 8. The extension applies to LA County property owners only. The maximum civic penalty for rent increases that exceed the county’s 10% cap during a declared emergency is $50,000 per violation. Note that LA County has issued a Proclamation of Local Emergency for Federal Immigration Actions, which will remain in effect until terminated by the Board of Supervisors. The proclamation triggers the county’s anti-price-gouging rental protections until further notice.

The LA City Attorney is not protecting renters — she’s blocking funding for @stayhousedla , a lifeline for renters fighting to stay in their homes. As a vote comes to the City Council today to renew funding for this eviction defense, the sitting City Attorney is on her third attempt to shut it down. We need leaders who stand for tenants, not abusive landlords. That’s the type of legal work I do, and the type of City Attorney I would be. Read the full LA Times story: bit.ly/stayhoused310
