Commercial landlords and tenants presented opposing views during a special City Council study session on May 5. The topic at hand: revisions to the Urgency Ordinance enacted by the City in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Landlords will likely get a reprieve when an amended ordinance is taken up at the May 19 City Council meeting. The revised ordinance is expected to include additional provisions related to commercial tenants and the eviction moratorium. It will also address rent forbearance for certain commercial tenants and clarify a rent repayment schedule for all tenants.
