SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The clock is ticking for California tenant protections that started last year.
Members of the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), the Santa Barbara Tenants Union and others gathered at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Wednesday to demand action. They are backing California AB 15, which if signed into law would extend current tenant protections to Dec. 31, 2021.
Under the current law, which was passed last year after the pandemic began, tenants facing financial hardship can avoid eviction by paying at least 25 percent of their rent. However, that law is set to expire Jan. 31.
