Council approves resolution on state pilot to extend no‑fault eviction notice from 30 to 60 days in select cities
Summary
Council members discussed and approved the city's position on a state pilot program that would require 60-day notice for certain no-fault evictions in selected cities, while members sought clarity about which units are covered and the bill's local impact.
The Los Angeles City Council on Aug. 3 voted to approve a measure relating to a state pilot program requiring landlords to give 60 days’ notice for certain no-fault evictions in designated cities.
Councilmember Holden asked staff for details about the bill’s substantive changes and whether it differed from existing law. A staff speaker explained, “This bill establishes, SB 95 98 5 establishes a pilot program for the cities of Los Angeles, West Hollywood, and Santa Monica, which requires, landlords to provide a 60 day notice to tenants, prior to a no fault eviction.” Councilmembers clarified the scope: the extended notice would apply to certain month-to-month tenancies and tenants who have lived in their units for a year or more. The staff reply noted the change from the current typical 30-day notice to 60 days for eligible tenancies.
Councilmember Antonio Garcetti (appearing as Garcetti in the record) said the Los Angeles Housing Law Project had circulated a memo outlining the bill’s effect on non-Rent Stabilization Ordinance units, and that the provision would apply to roughly 200,000 Los Angeles households not covered by the RSO. He said he had seen a letter from the Apartment Association indicating they did not oppose the 60-day notice provision, though they had concerns about other parts of the bill.
After questions and discussion, the council voted to adopt the item; the clerk recorded 13 ayes.
