On its third try, the Palo Alto City Council passed an urgency measure on Monday, Dec. 9, authored by council members Tom DuBois and Lydia Kou, prohibiting landlords from evicting tenants without just cause.

Gavin Newsom signed the bill on Oct. 8, there has been a ‘surge of calls and inquiries from community advocates and tenants facing steep rent increases,’ some as much as 30 percent.”
