Los Angeles Temporary Ban on Renovictions
So here’s what the new eviction laws mean for you. Until August 1st, 2025, you cannot evict tenants just to carry out major renovations, like structural work, plumbing upgrades, or mechanical improvements.
You Must Pause Substantial Renovations and Associated Evictions
Why does this matter to you? If you were planning to begin a large-scale renovation and needed your units vacant, you’ll need to hit a pause. The city is using this temporary measure to protect tenants while they consider long-term changes to the law.
What Is Considered a Substantial Renovation?
What counts as substantial work? We’re talking about big jobs: foundation or structural changes, plumbing system overhauls, HVAC or electrical upgrades.
