for the next decade. The legislation also prevents tenants from being evicted without documented lease violations once they’ve lived in an apartment for a year. The law exempts apartments built within the last 15 years and single-family home rentals unless they’re owned by corporate investors.The law, however, doesn’t take effect until Jan. 1. In the meantime, landlords can still remove tenants without cause as long as the notice to vacate expires before that time.
The council must vote on the measures twice, and O’Farrell is hoping to receive final approval for his emergency proposal no later than the end of next week. O’Farrell, said he is aiming to make the eviction moratorium retroactive to when the governor signed the bill. “If you want to be greedy, you can continue to do what unfortunately some landlords have been doing, which is in part why we’re in the situation we’re in right now,” Chiu said.
But until January, landlords remain able to increase rents in excess of the cap. Tenant activists are worrying that such large rent increases continue to provide a backdoor means of evicting renters even if the city’s emergency anti-eviction ordinance passes.

A bit late for that, after cutting power to tons of folks dependent on it.
How do people unliterally become homeless?
If we don’t impeach Trump, they’ll start tapping the Fed again and bleeding it, at will.
Eviction law is already on the side of the tenant not the landlord. It costs landlords millions annually and puts them on the hook for awful losses. We don’t need more of this.
I just jacked up the rent on both my rentals, suck it and pay me my money or pack your stuff and bail.
