The City of Chula Vista’s new tenant protection ordinance goes into effect on March 1st. KPBS Reporter Melissa Mae says it’s closing the gap of no-fault eviction loopholes, but may also have some unintended consequences for landlords.goes into effect on March 1. It's intended to close no-fault eviction loopholes, but some say it may also have some unintended consequences for landlords.
Lopez said the ordinance is needed “because of investors that are coming in, buying up properties, kicking people out and then jacking it up to market rate.” Lilley said many Chula Vista properties were built in or before the '80s, and need significant renovations. She said because of the ordinance's “Substantial Remodel” requirements, many properties will continue to deteriorate if a landlord can’t afford to relocate the tenant.
Lilley said she was aware of one landlord’s harassing behavior that was brought before the Chula Vista City Council, but noted that one landlord’s behavior is not happening on a broad basis.
