Commercial Tenant Protections (CTP) Ordinance – Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles County’s Commercial Tenant Protections (CTP) Ordinance provides harassment and retaliation protections for commercial tenants who have nine or fewer employees in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. It aims to deter landlord harassment, provide tenants with safe and suitable commercial rental properties, and provide an avenue for tenants to take legal action when subjected to harassment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution to protect commercial tenants from landlord harassment and retaliation. The resolution expired at the end of 2021, but the adoption of the CTP Ordinance made commercial tenant protections permanent throughout the county.
