RE:              Status of Evictions in Los Angeles in light of Covid-19  

 Evicting people from their homes in the midst of this pandemic is cruel and jeopardizes public  health. Recognizing this, and recognizing that requiring tenants, landlords, and their lawyers to go  through the eviction process would not allow for social distancing, the Los Angeles Superior  Court, the Governor of California, the Mayor of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles City Council  and County Board of Supervisors have taken emergency action to limit evictions throughout Los  Angeles for at least the next month.
