Direct staff to draft law requiring landlords to show cause for evictions
In Plain English
Currently landlords can evict tenants without stating a reason in many cases. The proposed law would require landlords to prove valid grounds like nonpayment or lease violations before evicting. The city would need to create a rent board or tenant protection commission to enforce the rules.
