SCRHA Fights for Changes to Chula Vista Tenant Protections to Deal with Nuisance Residents

This past Tuesday, SCRHA joined housing providers and frustrated community members to advocate for changes that would help housing providers and the city address problematic tenants and squatters. SCRHA and housing providers specifically identified Just Cause protections beginning on the first day of tenancy as an additional hurdle. At the state level, we urged city leaders to work with SCRHA to advocate for changes to laws that prevent the timely removal of nuisance tenants, including squatters, and for improvements to the eviction process. The council voted unanimously to recommend that city staff explore changes to the TPO and other ways to support housing providers, with proposed amendments to return within 90 days.
