THE LOS ANGELES EVICTION MORATORIUM IS COMING TO AN END
NOW WHAT?
After about 35 months, the LA City eviction moratorium is coming to an end. Tenants will be losing protections that has kept a roof over their head throughout the pandemic. Landlords will no longer be restricted from evicting tenants who were unable to pay their rent during the pandemic.

Whether you are tenant or a landlord, this is a big deal!

• The moratorium will end January 31, 2023.
• Tenants who have missed payments since March 2020 would have to meet two re-payment deadlines.
• Under state law, tenants who have missed payments from March 1, 2020 - Sept. 30, 2021 will have until August 2023 to pay back missed rent.
• Under the city's moratorium, tenants who have missed payments from October 2021 - February 2023 will have until February 2024 to pay back missed rent.
• Landlords would be able to resume increasing rent on rent-controlled apartments, which account for three-quarters of apartments in Los Angeles, beginning in February 2024.
