Eviction rates have already reached pre-pandemic levels, and we’ll likely see even more families forced onto the streets now that LA's eviction moratorium has ended, despite our repeated attempts to extend it.
To help prevent illegal evictions and even more homelessness in LA, we need to empower people so they know their rights, what to do if they are potentially facing eviction, and so we can help our vulnerable neighbors.
What do I do if I think I might be at risk of eviction?
- Open the Tenant Power Toolkit to learn how to respond to an eviction notice so you can prepare a legal defense and make necessary arrangements.
- Look at this “Can I be evicted?” Flowchart put together by Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez
