- Recently, the LA City Council put into place renter protections that prohibit landlords from evicting tenants who are unable to pay their rent due to the COVID-19 health emergency. If a tenant is unable to pay rent due to financial impacts related to COVID-19, the landlord must be notified before rent is due or within 7 days after the rent due date. To assist Angelenos, the City’s Housing + Community Investment Department has developed a form for tenants to use to inform their landlords of any payment delay. For more information on renters’ protections during the local emergency, contact HCIDLA at (866) 557‐RENT or visit hcidla.lacity.org.
