Some members of the Los Angeles City Council are set to consider proposals for tenant protections following the devastating wildfires. The City Council will consider a package of tenant protections — including the possibility of enacting a one-year freeze on increasing rent — with the aim of preventing evictions of residents who were displaced or impacted by the multiple fires that burned Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles City Council sent a package of tenant protections back to committee Wednesday, including a proposal for a one-year freeze on rent increases, following a heated debate that left several members concerned about the possible unintended consequences of enacting such a policy.
