BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On December 21, 2021, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 22-0001, which, if adopted will rescind certain regulations pertaining to residential tenants during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the option to defer payment of rent because of financial impacts related to COVID-19.
Please note that, for ease of reference, the Ordinance restates-without any substantive changes-the 2020 Eviction Ordinance’s protections provided to commercial tenants. The 2020 Eviction Ordinance’s provisions related to commercial tenants remain unchanged by the draft ordinance.
The associated staff report from the December 21, 2021, meeting is attached. At this time, staff recommends that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 22-0001 amending Urgency Ordinance No. 20-0012-U, as subsequently amended, to rescind certain regulations pertaining to residential tenants.
