The amendments to Los Angeles Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance redefine harassment and impose minimum penalties, aiming to enhance protections for tenants facing landlord intimidation.
The city council's decision to enhance the anti-harassment ordinance comes in response to 13,000 complaints over three years, highlighting concerns about tenant safety amid escalating housing costs.
Tenant advocates believe the original ordinance was ineffective, noting that without substantial definitions and penalties, it failed to provide adequate protection from landlord threats.
Landlord representatives argue that the updated law should offer equal protection, citing instances of tenant harassment towards landlords, calling for a more balanced approach in tenant rights.
