CalMatters: They tried to pay their overdue rent. Their landlord wouldn’t accept it
March 10, 2025—Public Advocates is named as a renter advocacy group and one of three sponsors of a bill to “require a court to dismiss a nonpayment eviction if at any point before tenants are actually removed from their home, they can pay all the rent accrued up to that date” in CalMatters reporter Felicia Mello’s story.
The legislation would catch California up to 21 other states that ban nonpayment evictions for tenants willing and able to pay up owed rent before they are evicted.
