Building on ACCE Los Angeles' successful campaign in July 2024 to protect South LA tenants displaced by new housing development, the same renter protections will now be expanded citywide. In December, the LA City Council adopted changes to the city's Resident Protection Ordinance (RPO) that will strengthen protections for all LA residents displaced by developers demolishing older apartment complexes to make way for new development. ACCE collaborated with partners at Movement Legal to draft the changes to the RPO based on the updated South LA Community Plan Implementation Overlay or CPIO. The protections include a right of return to newly developed units for displaced tenants, more generous relocation assistance, a five-year denial of demolition permits to landlords who have been found to harass tenants, and the right to sue landlords who violate tenants' rights. These new protections are a huge step toward curbing the rapid gentrification of historically low-income communities and communities of color.
