LA City Council votes to draft an eviction ban for wildfire-affected tenants through 2026.

The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to draft an ordinance preventing evictions for up to a year for tenants impacted by recent wildfires, focusing initially on extra occupants and pets. Council members also proposed extending protections to ban rent increases and nonpayment evictions through January 2026, similar to pandemic-era measures. The future of these proposals remains uncertain as they are directed to the Housing and Homeless Committee for further consideration.
