Tenant groups expect 50,000 evictions across LA County in 2023. Board of Supervisors plans to extend lawyers for free.
More than 50,000 eviction notices set to explode across Los Angeles County this year will lead to a huge increase in the number of people being ousted from their homes, swelling the population of homeless on the streets, according to a coalition of tenant rights groups.
Demonstrators from tenants’ rights groups protest outside the K. Hahn Hall of Administration, Tuesday morning July 11, 2023, before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting. The board heard from close to 100 speakers, many of whom had been served eviction notices but did not have access to an attorney because they could not afford one. A coalition of tenant rights groups testified that the proposed “Right to Counsel” ordinance would provide a line of defense for low-income people who can’t afford legal representation and are unable to navigate a byzantine court system on their own.
The board wants the free attorney program available to eligible tenants by fiscal year 2024-2025 or sooner. However, a permanent, Right to Counsel program for distressed renters in unincorporated areas is in search of a funding source.
