Substantial remodel. Tenant advocates have raised concerns about substantial remodel evictions since the 2019 Tenant Protection Act was approved in California to limit rent increases and offer renters some protections against being evicted without cause. Maria Lopez began to get involved in fighting substantial remodel evictions when she started hearing about a number of evictions soon after the 2019 law was approved. “Please, I beg you, I implore you, keep our families housed.”That year, in response to advocates, the city temporarily banned substantial remodel evictions. But she’s uncertain about her long-term chances as long as remodel evictions are permitted.
