California legislators vote to ban laws that force landlords to evict tenants based on criminal histories. Such policies can disproportionately affect Black and Latino renters.
Nearly 2,000 communities in the U.S. and elsewhere encourage landlords to evict or exclude tenants who have had some interaction with law enforcement.Terrance Stewart told The Times in 2020 that he faced constant rejections from landlords in Riverside, which had a strict crime-free housing ordinance, due to a prior cocaine dealing conviction.
“It’s just awesome that your pain becomes your ministry,” said Stewart, who works for Alliance for Safety and Justice, a national criminal justice reform group. “I’ve been so stressed out behind these ordinances.” Gov. Gavin Newsom has until Oct. 14 to sign or veto the bill or allow it to become law without his signature.
Newsom typically does not comment on pending legislation and his office did not respond to a request for his views on AB 1418.
