After months of debate, Oakland's eviction moratorium expired over the weekend, making it one of the last remaining cities in the country to lift such tenant protections.
The move follows Alameda County's termination of its public health emergency in April.
Landlords, on the other hand, are legally permitted to request half of the rent by the 15th of the month if rent is due on the first. The decision to end the moratorium was approved by the Oakland City Council in May, allowing residents to adequately prepare for the upcoming changes. Pamela Haile, an Oakland landlord, expressed her concerns about the financial burden she faces due to unpaid rent, stating, "This is my investment. They're in control of it... I still have to pay. My husband has to pay, business tax, insurance... There's no income from the house."
