The proposal seeks to provide legal aid to tenants who often lack representation, with data showing landlords having lawyers in 88% of L.A. County eviction cases versus 3% for tenants, potentially impacting the outcome of cases.
This move by L.A. County to implement a 'right to counsel' ordinance aligns with similar laws in other cities like New York City, San Francisco, and Philadelphia, aiming to provide crucial legal assistance to renters earning less than 80% of the area median income.
