The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 7 is scheduled to receive a verbal report on possible options for a controversial eviction moratorium linked to federal immigration enforcement. Action is not anticipated at this meeting.
The proposal, introduced last month, could bar evictions across all 88 cities in the county in response to immigration raids and related disruptions. The California Apartment Association has opposed the directive, warning that tying eviction policy to immigration status could destabilize the housing market and entangle landlords in federal enforcement disputes.
CAA has urged supervisors to instead focus on targeted rental assistance, noting that past moratoriums created unintended consequences for both renters and housing providers.
At the same Sept. 16 meeting where the concept of a potential moratorium was discussed, supervisors approved more than $25 million in rental relief — a move supported by the association.
