Approximately 60,000 evictions are filed annually countywide, of which an estimated 30,000 are filed in the City of Los Angeles. Tenants who cannot afford a lawyer often do not contest an eviction notice, even if the notice is unlawfully issued. As a result, approximately 40% of unlawful detainers in Los Angeles County end in default judgements. Evictions not only impact a tenant’s short term housing stability but can have a negative impact on a household’s ability to remain stably housed.
For nearly the past two years, LAHD has conducted extensive research and held numerous meetings with various stakeholders including working closely with the Mayor’s Office, L.A. County, City Council offices, the CLA, the Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and the City Attorney’s Office.
On August 17, 2018, the City Council directed LAHD to work with the Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) and the City Attorney to develop recommendations, including prospective costs and funding sources, for a City of Los Angeles “Right to Counsel” ordinance and/or a program to ensure that tenants have access to the information and representation when facing landlord harassment, rental agreement and lease issues, and eviction.
On September 23, 2020, the Los Angeles City Council adopted a one (1) calendar year Covid-Reponse Eviction Defense Program (EDP) to assist tenants impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 Response Eviction Defense Program (EDP) is a city of LA program designed to promote housing stability by offering services to assist City of LA tenants. Our EDP is set to launch July 1, 2021.
The City of LA contracted with the Legal Aid Foundation Los Angeles (LAFLA) to provide comprehensive eviction prevention services. The framework of these services include the following key components:
In the City of Los Angeles, tenants cannot be evicted for non-payment of rent during the City’s Emergency Declaration, and for twelve months after its expiration. The City’s Emergency Declaration is still in effect and will continue until further notice.
If you are experiencing COVID-19 financial stress and cannot pay rent, the City’s ordinance still allows you to defer paying rent during the City’s Emergency Declaration period to avoid eviction. The City’s Emergency Declaration is still in effect and will continue to be effective until further notice.
The City’s ordinance does not require that you pay 25% of rent to be protected from eviction. However, if you pay the 25% (rent owed September 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021) by June 30, 2021, the landlord can never evict you for failing to pay the balance under state law. You are responsible to pay all the rent due, and the landlord can sue you in court and obtain a judgment for the balance owed. If you want to pay the 25% and get the added benefit under the State’s law, you must give your landlord a declaration stating your inability to pay rent due to Covid-19 financial stress.
If you received or experienced any of the following, get legal help immediately at www.stayhousedla.org or call 888-694-0040
If you received an eviction notice, verbal threat of eviction, a rent increase, reduction of service, or requesting that your landlord make necessary repairs, you can report violations by calling LAHD Hotline: 1-866-557-RENT (7368) or online at housing.lacity.org/residents/file-a-complaint
