Receive presentation on Just Cause for Eviction rental policies
In Plain English
The city is exploring new rental policies that would require landlords to show specific reasons before evicting tenants. Current law allows landlords to evict tenants without stating a cause in most situations. If approved, new just cause rules would limit evictions to specific reasons like nonpayment of rent or lease violations.
