The eviction moratorium has ended as of September 30, 2021, but Los Angeles ordinances is not allowing a free fall of evictions just yet. But if you are a tenant without the adequate legal help, you may fall victim to an eviction that the court will allow, if you do not know how to invoke your rights. This is why an eviction attorney should be your best friend right now.

The Tenant Protection Act in Los Angeles is saturated with confusing and complicated ordinances to where attorneys and governmental agencies are not giving accurate advice to tenants and landlords.

Nobody expects to end up with problematic tenants, but it happens more often than you may believe. Unfortunately, when you have problematic tenants, it’s not easy to evict those tenants. Renters have strong protections that sometimes cover disruptive tenants especially when little to no evidence is readily available.

The relationship between the landlord and the tenant is balanced on a very thin thread of hope and fate. If you happen to trespass that thread of hope by an inch on either side, you will see this relation blow away in the form of fine dust particles.

After asking the tough questions to a skilled attorney, this attorney provided his answer: (quote) "Although the Los Angeles County COVID-19 Eviction Moratorium remains in effect through December 31, 2022, said ordinance reads: “A Tenant shall not be evicted where grounds for terminating the tenancy or occupancy is not based on any alleged fault of the Tenant, including, but not limited to, those stated in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 et seq., Civil Code section 1946.2 et seq., and Chapters 8.52 and 8.57 of the County Code.”
