As urban areas in California rapidly gentrify, low-income renters are often disenfranchised by both rising rents and shady landlord practices. One such practice — evicting low-income tenants from single room occupancy residences (in shared housing or in hotels) — is currently allowed in Oakland. AB 423 would no longer allow this, protecting thousands of low-income Californians from shady eviction practices. (This bill died.)
