'Good Cause' Rule Doesn't Preempt Los Angeles Ordinance Barring Eviction of Tenants to Raise Rents

摘要

HUD's "good cause" regulation allowing the eviction of Section 8 tenants in order to raise rents does not preempt the city of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (LARSO) barring such evictions, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled. (Barrientos v. 1801-1825 Morton LLC, No. 07-56697, 2009 WL 3260544 (9th Cir.(Cal.)), October 9, 2009)rnThe Section 8 voucher rules provide that tenancy may be terminated on various grounds, including lease violations, nonpayment of rent, criminal activity, and "other good cause."
