More than a year after L.A. clamped down on renting homes for short stays, many rental hosts appear to be ignoring the new law.
Expanded federal jobless benefits and an eviction moratorium have expired. And the biggest state protection against evictions could go away this month.
Keshishian said the increase was the result of thousands of rentals of previously “unknown” compliance being checked and determined to be unpermitted. In June, Airbnb announced it was launching that system to help with enforcement. Then the city abruptly put it on hold: Planning officials said Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office told them to hold off until the department had prepared a report on its financial effects.
In February, Goldman said she was aghast to hear from the planning department that more than 10,000 possible violations of the ordinance had been identified — but no citations had been issued. Fines started to be handed down in late February, but tenants who have complained about illegal rentals remain dissatisfied.
“We’ve been reporting it for years. Nobody does anything,” she said. Planning officials said they had received calls about that building and had referred the issue to another department for possible enforcement.
