Walnut Creek Renters Face Evictions As Rent-Control Law Looms
At one Walnut Creek complex, all 14 apartments received eviction notices.
WALNUT CREEK (KPIX) — Tenant advocates said they’re seeing a spike in eviction and rent increase notices before the new year. They believed some property management companies and landlords are trying beat a new statewide rent control law — Assembly Bill 1482 — before it goes into effect on Jan. 1.
All 14 units at an apartment complex on Lacassie Avenue in Walnut Creek received an eviction notice last month. Cait Hudson said the notice was taped to her door two days before Thanksgiving.
