Subject:Eviction protection
Honorable Council Members,
Previously I emailed you requesting that you consider an emergency ordinance to protect renters during
the period before SB1482 takes effect in January, 2020. What I didn't realize when I apologized for not
understanding that the restrictions on rent increases were retroactive back to March, 2019, was that
there was no built-in protection for evictions.
It appears that there are some "bad actors" out there in our county who are taking advantage of this
loophole and are using it to evict tenants. Grover Beach has taken the action of passing an emergency
ordinance to prevent such evictions.
I urge you to pass a similar emergency ordinance to protect the renters in the city of San Luis Obispo as I
hear that there are residents there who would find their holidays much more enjoyable if such an
ordinance were passed.
Thank you,
Cathryn Sells
