Assemblyman Chiu on state eviction ban: ‘If we run out of money, all bets are off’

Tenants were much more likely to be evicted in some parts of the state, partly depending on additional local protections, and those lockouts ramped up over time, especially in 2021, CalMatters found in a recent investigation. Why is that?

On this episode of “Gimme Shelter: The California Housing Crisis Podcast,” CalMatters’ Manuela Tobias and the Los Angeles Times’ Liam Dillon discuss the holes in California’s so-called eviction moratorium — as well as what tenants and landlords should know about the latest ban that goes through Sept. 30 — with the law’s main author, Assemblyman David Chiu, a Democrat from San Francisco.
