Los Angeles may wind down many of its COVID-19 protections against evictions and rent increases by January, ending what has become some of the nation’s strongest and longest-lasting tenant safeguards during the pandemic.

Starting in 2023, landlords will once again be allowed to evict tenants for not paying their rent even if they’ve fallen behind for COVID-19-related circumstances, under a proposal released by the city housing department last week. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
The plan also calls for tenants living in rent-controlled apartments in the city — about three-quarters of the apartment stock — to once again face rent increases the following year, in January 2024. latimes.com/homeless-housi…

The jurist had a $212,274 salary and a reputation so sterling that she was tapped to oversee the education of all new state judges. latimes.com/california/sto…

Alan Jackson, Bigelow’s lawyer, handed the gifts over to a bankruptcy trustee working to compensate cheated clients and other Girardi creditors. But he has declined to identify the gifts publicly or place a dollar value on them.
