A new bill in California seeks to enhance tenant protections that were established shortly before the pandemic. The Affordable Rent Act could help safeguard against displacement for the significant population of renters, who spend a large portion of their income on housing. By reducing the maximum allowable rent increase from 10% to 5%, the bill aims to stabilize housing costs. Furthermore, it proposes to eliminate exemptions for certain housing types that currently do not have the same protections under the existing law, removing barriers to stability in housing markets.
As a renter in a non-Tenant Protection Act-protected home - a single-family home - I really need this thing to pass... I don’t want to ask for a raise, so I need to pay my rent too.
The 2019 law... also requires landlords removing a unit from the rental market to pay relocation assistance to evicted tenants and to have a 'just cause' to evict a tenant.
