eviction moratorium

“I still love this country, but being a landlord in Oakland, and California in general, [it’s] not worth it,” said one immigrant landlord.

SB 567 mandates property owners or a family member to occupy their rental for at least 12 months if they have evicted a tenant from the unit for their own use.

The most unpaid rent owed is $227,000 in an apartment building in Westwood, according to the city controller’s data tool.

With some of the most expensive rent prices in the nation, Californians pay a disproportionate share of income for housing, and with evictions now returning after nearly three years of moratoriums in certain locations, some property owners and renters are finding themselves in difficult predicaments.
