Los Angeles renters now have 12 months to settle back rent

[Ray Johnson]

Last night the Mayor signed new Renters protections that the LA City Council passed. This will now allow LA renters up to 12 months to settle back rent for Residential tenants, and 3 months for Commercial tenants, before a landlord can take ANY action.

Does anyone have the fine print on this new Renters protection? All I see is it says residential renters have 12 months to catch-up or "Settle" on ANY missed rent.

Does that mean they can go without paying a single dollar over the next 12 months before a landlord can take any action?

I guess if a tenant decides to pay One dollar ($1) a month for the next 12 months, the landlord gets to collect a whole $12 for the year of income.

LA is out of control with the backlash against landlords.
