L.A. County extends ban on evictions through September

KTLA
Los Angeles County supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to extend the region’s ban on evictions and other tenant protections enacted as the pandemic sent unemployment surging.

Federal eviction protections are also set to expire on June 30, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom is currently negotiating with lawmakers on when the state’s eviction ban will expire.

However, Tuesday’s vote also begins to phase out rules. Owners of single-family homes purchased on or before June 30 can evict current tenants so that they can move in, provided certain conditions are met, according to the motion
.
“We’ve avoided mass evictions, and our responsibility now is to phase out this moratorium in a way that ensures we don’t just throw away our one success — keeping families in their homes — while thoughtfully easing the rules on property owners and eventually returning to normal,” Supervisor Sheila Kuehl said.

Good and not so good.
