"California renters facing COVID-19 financial hardship would be protected from eviction until July a legislative proposal that Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrats are expected to formally announce Monday...The current law protects tenants as long as they’re paying a total 25% of their rent starting in September 2020, and can prove pandemic-related adversity like job or salary loss. The deal was part of a months-long and contentious negotiations process between landlord groups and renter representatives."
