Los Angeles City Council approves a month grace period for tenants behind on rent, that will take effect in 31 days.
The Los Angeles City Council adopted an ordinance on Friday. Feb. 3, providing tenants who are behind on their rent with a one-month grace period before their landlord can begin eviction proceedings, but there were not enough votes for it to take effect immediately.
The draft ordinance included an urgency clause, but because it only received nine votes on Friday — three short of the 12 votes required to activate the clause — it will take effect in 31 days. The city council also previously adopted an ordinance providing universal “just cause” requiring legitimate reasons for evictions, and voted for an ordinance on Tuesday for relocation assistance to be provided by the landlord if a tenant cannot afford rent increases of a certain amount. That relocation assistance ordinance will return to the council next week for a final vote.
