Two years on from the start of the pandemic, California lawmakers are proposing to extend state-level eviction protections for tenants behind on their rent. They're doing it in a way that is angering both landlords and tenant advocates.
On Monday, the state's Assembly voted 62-1 to pass a bill that would extend a policy stopping evictions for tenants who have already filed an application for emergency rental assistance. That policy is supposed to expire Thursday. Assembly Bill (A.B.) 2179 would extend the pause through the end of June.
