STAFF REPORT 4 it- O -10 1 4 CITY OF LYNWOOD % ' PARKING AND TRAFFIC COMMISSION itrFogot' DATE: 1-23-20 TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY, TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION FROM: Michelle G. Ramirez, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY BILL 1482 ("TENANT PROTECTION ACT OF 2019") BACKGROUND: On September 11, 2019, California State Assembly Bill 1482 ("Tenant Protection Act of 2019") passed the Legislature. On October 8, 2019, the Governor signed the bill into law. AB 1482 limits annual rent increases across the state to 5 percent plus cost of living inflation, or 10 percent, whichever is lower. The bill also prohibits an owner from terminating a tenancy without just cause if the tenant has lived in a unit for 12 months or more. As a result of the passage of AB 1482, the prohibitions on eviction without just cause went into effect on January 1, 2020. In addition, AB 1482 required if rents were increased after March 15, 2019, the rent on January 1, 2020 is reduced to the rent as of March 15, 2019 plus the maximum increase allowed by AB 1482. ANALYSIS: AB 1482 implements two concurrent protections on applicable units: (1) a cap on rent increases and (2) just cause eviction protection, which includes providing a one-month rent payment for relocation assistance when a landlord terminates a lease through no fault of the tenant. The relocation payment is paid without regard to a tenant's income or other characteristics. A discussion on each of these provisions follows. Rent Cap AB 1482 introduces a cap on rent increases that would allow a landlord to raise the rents by 5% per year plus the percentage change in the cost of living, or 10%, whichever is lower. The increase is tied to annual April-to-April Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area. To provide historical context, staff researched the annual April CPI percentage change for the last four years. In 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the CPI increase was approximately 4.0%, 2.7%, 2.0%, and 0.5%, respectively. The April 2019 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim CPI increase was 3.3%, which would result in a maximum rent increase of 8.3% until April 2020. .

The applicant has access to an on-site parking facility that can be accessed through the front of the property. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Public Safety, Traffic and Parking Commission review this application and concur with staff's denial of the on-street disabled parking request in front of 4827 Abbott Road. Just Cause Eviction Protection AB 1482 includes just cause eviction protections for tenants if they have lived in a unit for 12 months or more. Just cause eviction protection would require a landlord to have a valid reason for terminating a tenancy. Some examples of just cause include non- payment of rent, violation of a lease term, and nuisance. The just cause eviction protections only apply to tenants who have resided in a unit for 12 months or more. AB 1482 does not apply to tenants who have been residing in the unit for less than 12 months. Range of Applicable Units Under AB 1482, certain housing units are not subject to provisions in the law. The just cause protections and the rent cap limitations do not apply to units: • issued a certificate of occupancy in the previous 15 years; • dormitories owned by an educational institution; • affordable housing restricted by a deed covenant, regulatory agreement, or other recorded document; • single-family homes or condominiums provided the owner is not a real estate investment trust, a corporation, or a limited liability company where at least one member is a corporation, so long as the tenants are given notice of the exemption as required by the statute that the just cause protections do not apply to the tenant; or • Duplexes where the owner occupied one of the units as the owner's principal residents at the commencement of the tenancy and continues to occupy the property. In addition to the unit types listed above, the following units are exempt from the just cause protections only: • transient and tourist hotel occupancies; • housing in nonprofit hospitals, religious facilities, extended care facility, license care facility for the elderly or an adult residential facility; • housing where the tenant shares bathroom or kitchen facilities with the owner and the housing is the owner's principal residence; • owner-occupied homes where the owner rents no more than 2 units or bedrooms, including accessory dwelling units; or • rental units covered by a local just cause ordinance if the ordinance was adopted on or before September 1, 2019, or rental units covered by a local ordinance adopted after September 1, 2019 that is more protective than the provisions of AB 1482. AB 1482 Enforcement Regarding enforcement of the provisions of AB 1482, the law is unclear and does not specify how enforcement is to occur. It is assumed that tenants will need to enforce the law by way of a private cause of action (enforce by civil action). The City contracts with the Fair Housing Foundation who can provide legal resources and referral services for tenants, regardless of income. AB 1482 Legal Challenge On October 15, 2019, an anti-rent control group filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against California Governor Gavin Newsom and the City of Long Beach. The lawsuit, filed by attorney Paul Beard of Alston & Bird, argues that AB 1482 violates the Takings Clause in the California Constitution, as well as the Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Other legal challenges to AB 1482 are rumored as well. Current Statewide Tenant Legal Protections Tenants currently have some statewide legal protections in regards to rent increases or no cause evictions, although, many tenants are not aware of their rights, may not have legal counsel, or may not feel comfortable challenging their landlord. For example, regarding notices of termination without cause (no fault evictions); California law gives exact requirements to end a tenancy. If a tenant has lived in the rental unit for over one year and is on a month-to-month lease, then the landlord must give the tenant a written 60-day notice to end the tenancy. The notice must inform the tenant that the tenancy will expire at the end of the notice period and the tenant must move out of the rental unit by that time. The only way a landlord can legally evict a tenant in California is by going through the courts and winning an eviction lawsuit, also known as an unlawful detainer suit. Even after winning the eviction lawsuit, the landlord must use a sheriff to actually perform the eviction. California law has made it illegal for the landlord to personally remove the tenant from the rental unit. Informing Tenants and Property Owners/Landlords of Resources and Obligations Related to AB 1482 The City contracts with the Fair Housing Foundation who provide both owners/landlords and tenants with comprehensive information about housing rights and responsibilities, including 30-day notices and evictions, security deposits and rent increases, repairs and maintenance, right to privacy, rules for children, and state and federal housing laws. As many tenants and property owners/landlords may not be aware of the provisions of AB 1482, staff is working with the Fair Housing Foundation to communicate the new state renter provisions in AB 1482. This will include mailed letters to all apartment owners notifying property owners/landlords of the provisions of AB 1482, and communicating to all residents through different social media outlets, which includes the Lynwood Perspective, Facebook, Instagram, etc. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Traffic, Parking and Public Safety Commission receive and file this report. No further action is required.
