News and Updates for Renters and Landlords

Temporary Eviction Moratorium

The Los Angeles County Temporary Eviction Moratorium, effective March 4, 2020, through February 28, 2021*, unless repealed or extended by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, places a Countywide ban on evictions for residential and commercial  tenants, including mobilehome space renters. Under the County’s Moratorium, tenants may not be evicted for COVID-19 related nonpayment of rent, as well as no-fault reasons, nuisance, denying entry to a landlord, or unauthorized occupants or pets – if related to COVID-19.

*Note: Between October 1, 2020 and January 31, 2021, the County’s Moratorium will not apply to residential tenants facing eviction for nonpayment of rent due to COVID-19 related financial hardship, as they are covered under the state’s eviction moratorium, AB3088.

More information on Temporary Eviction Moratorium can be found at dcba.lacounty.gov/noevictions.
