“LA officials pass resolutions protecting residents from evictions, create fund for those who lost homes and businesses”
The Los Angeles City Council adopted a number of resolutions on Tuesday to help residents recover from the damage of the wildfires and return to normalcy, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The measures passed include speeding up federal emergency funds, assessing the potential for mudslides, and protecting residents from evictions and price gouging, especially evacuees and pet owners, according to the LA Times.
One proposal would pause rent increases and bar evictions for a year for tenants experiencing hardship after the fires, but the motion was referred to committee.
