AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 7, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Craig Steele, City Attorney
SUBJECT: An Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Seal
Beach Adopting Emergency Regulations Prohibiting
Residential and Commercial Evictions for Non-Payment of
Rent and “No-Fault” Evictions and Declaring the Urgency
Thereof
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council consider adopting, on an urgency basis, temporary bans on
residential and commercial evictions in the City for non-payment of rent, and “no fault”
evictions during the period of local emergency related to the COVID-19 virus.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The State of California is currently in a state of emergency related to the spread
of the COVID-19 virus. Most residents have been ordered to stay at home and
many businesses are closed. The City of Seal Beach and Orange County have
issued similar emergency orders. Recognizing the potential enormous impact of
the current “stay at home” orders on residents and businesses, some cities in
Orange County have banned residential and/or commercial evictions for non-
payment of rent at least through May 31, 2020 along with a temporary prohibition
on “no-fault” evictions. Governor Newsom has issued an Executive Order that
authorizes cities to adopt these kind of restrictions to protect public health and
safety. He issued another Executive Order that has been described as an
eviction “ban.” However, that Executive Order only extends the time a tenant has
to respond to an eviction lawsuit; it does not prohibit landlords from starting
eviction proceedings.
Because some other Orange County cities have adopted this type of ban, and
responding to inquiries from residents and businesses, it is appropriate for the
Seal Beach City Council to consider whether to adopt a temporary ban on
residential and commercial evictions for non-payment of rent, and “no fault”
evictions. The proposed urgency ordinance presented for the City Council’s
consideration is a ban on both residential and commercial evictions for non -
payment of rent, although the City Council could decide to separate the issues.
The ordinance also would ban “no-fault” evictions, where a tenant is simply
evicted for no reason, during the period of the emergency. If this practice was
not banned during this period, it would leave a loophole in the ban on evictions
for non-payment of rent. The proposed City ordinance would be in effect
throughout the local emergency, although it could be shortened if the City
Council deems it advisable.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
Although the scope of this emergency and the impacts it is creating are
unprecedented, we believe that this ordinance falls within cities’ emergency
powers to protect public health and safety if the City Council deems it advisable.
A number of cities and counties throughout the State have adopted some form of
temporary ban on evictions for non -payment of rent and, in most cases, on “no -
fault” evictions. The City Council will determine whether these restrictions are
appropriate for Seal Beach in the current circumstances. In the midst of a “stay
at home” order in effect throughout the State, helping people protect their right to
stay in a residence is important. Persons who may be evicted during the
emergency would create additional strains on the system, and create more public
health risks. Many rental property owners and associations have stated that they
will work with affected tenants to avoid evictions during this time. However, a
local ban may provide additional assurance to residential tenants.
Staff and City Councilmembers also have heard from commercial tenants,
especially small businesses that are at risk of being unable to pay rent.
Commercial evictions during the emergency could harm public health and safety,
and could inhibit the region’s ability to recover economically at the end of this
emergency. Arguably, although many businesses are closed and suffering deep
financial distress, emergency State and federal programs may help some of
those businesses weather this crisis, and commercial landlords will be less likely
to implement early evictions. Commercial tenants and landlords may be better
able to work out solutions than residential tenants and landlords. This ordinance
encourages that, and provides commercial tenants with some assu rance of
stability, without excusing any tenant from paying rent when they are able.
In both cases, the City will encourage landlords and tenants to communicate and
cooperate, and to take advantage of any aid available to them. This ordinance
requires all tenants to pay back rent, and to pay as much of the monthly rent as
they are able on an ongoing basis. Obviously, an eviction ban would have
significant financial impacts on landlords as well, unless banks and creditors
provide some relief to them. We are informed that federally backed banks and
some other financial institutions are providing some relief.
However, some argue that existing State and County pauses on the eviction
process will protect all tenants, at least over the next two months. Governor
Newsom’s Executive Order has put a pause on eviction lawsuits for 60 days and,
as a practical matter, court closures and litigation delays will stall any eviction
proceedings at least until the end of May.
If the City Council chooses to adopt a n ordinance, it would be an urgency
ordinance, and would go into effect immediately. Pursuant to State law, the
ordinance would require a 4/5 vote for adoption.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact for this item.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is an emergency item and has not been evaluated for applicability to
the Strategic Plan.
MEASURE BB:
This item is not applicable to Measure BB, the Seal Beach Neighborhood and
Essential Services Protection Measure.
OPTIONS: The Council’s options are to:
1. Adopt the urgency ordinance imposing a temporary residential and
commercial eviction ban.
2. Take no immediate action, relying on existing State and County measures
to protect tenants.
3. Provide further direction to staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider adopting, on an urgency basis, temporary bans on
residential and commercial evictions in the City for non-payment of rent, and “no fault”
evictions during the period of local emergency related to the COVID-19 virus.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED: If the City Council decides to adopt an urgency
ordinance, the appropriate motion would be a motion to adopt Ordinance 1683 -U
by 4/5 vote.

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEAL BEACH ADOPTING EMERGENCY REGULATIONS
PROHIBITING RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL EVICTIONS FOR
NON-PAYMENT OF RENT AND “NO-FAULT” EVICTIONS AND
DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
WHEREAS, international, national, state, and local health and governmental authorities are
responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus named “SARS-
CoV-2” and the disease it causes, which has been named “coronavirus disease 2019,”
abbreviated COVID-19, (“COVID-19”); and
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, the Governor of the State of California declared a state of
emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already
underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the state prepare for broader
spread of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, as of April 1, 2020 at least two cases have been confirmed in the City of Seal
Beach; and
WHEREAS, on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States of America declared a
national emergency and announced that the federal government would make emergency funding
available to assist state and local governments to prevent the spread of and otherwise address the
effects of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020, the Governor of the State of California issued Executive Order
N-28-20, which suspended “[a]ny provision of state law that would preempt or otherwise restrict
a local government’s exercise of its police power to impose substantive limitations on residential
or commercial evictions” of certain tenants affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, on March 19, 2020, the City Council ratified the City Manager’s proclamation of
the existence of a local emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the California Department of
Health, and the Orange County Health Officer have all issued recommendations including but
not limited to social distancing, staying home if sick, canceling or postponing large group events,
working from home, and other precautions to protect public health and prevent transmission of
this communicable virus; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the public health emergency and the precautions recommended by
health authorities, many residential and commercial tenants in Seal Beach have experienced or
expect soon to experience sudden and unexpected income loss; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the State and local public health directions for residents to remain at
home and ordering businesses to close, many potential customers of commercial tenants in Seal
Beach are unable to patronize many businesses, many of which are subject to commercial leases
or rental agreements; and
WHEREAS, the eviction of commercial tenants results in the loss of local, family owned
businesses, the loss of jobs for employees, and negative impacts surrounding to businesses,
potentially leading to urban decay; and
WHEREAS, the Governor of the State of California has stated that individuals exposed to
COVID-19 may be temporarily unable to report to work due to illness caused by COVID-19 or
quarantines related to COVID-19 and individuals directly affected by COVID-19 may
experience potential loss of income, health care and medical coverage, and ability to pay for
housing and basic needs, thereby placing increased demands on already strained regional and
local health and safety resources, including shelters and food banks; and
WHEREAS, commercial tenants who operate businesses within the City may have to close their
businesses in response to emergency orders, which will substantially decrease or eliminate their
income, and businesses that are permitted to remain open also are likely to experience a
significant loss of income while the emergency orders are in effect; and
WHEREAS, further economic impacts are anticipated, leaving residential and commercial
tenants vulnerable to eviction; and
WHEREAS, during this local emergency, and in the interest of protecting the public health and
preventing transmission of COVID-19, it is essential to avoid unnecessary housing displacement,
to protect the City’s affordable housing stock, and to prevent housed individuals from falling into
homelessness; and
WHEREAS, the Governor’s Executive Orders No. N-28-20 and N-37-20 and Orange County
Health Orders do not adequately and completely protect residents and businesses in the City of
Seal Beach from the public health and safety impacts that residential and commercial evictions
during this state of emergency could cause; and
WHEREAS, in the interest of public peace, health and safety, as affected by the emergency
caused by the spread of COVID-19, it is necessary for the City Council to exercise its authority
to issue these regulations related to the protection of the public peace, health or safety.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH HEREBY
ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council finds that each fact set forth in the preceding recitals is
true and correct and incorporated by reference.
Section 2. Residential Eviction Moratorium. A temporary moratorium on eviction of
residential and tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic is imposed as follows:
a. During the period of local emergency declared in response to COVID-19, no
landlord shall take any action to evict a tenant in either of the following situations: (1) for
nonpayment of rent, late fees, or other fees or charges, if the landlord knows that the tenant is
unable to pay the same due to financial impacts related to COVID-19, or (2) for a no-fault
eviction unless immediately necessary for the health and safety of tenants, neighbors, or the
landlord, other than based on illness of the tenant or any other occupant of the residential rental
unit, which shall be confirmed by the City’s Building Official prior to any such eviction. A
landlord who knows that a tenant cannot pay some or all of the rent temporarily for the reasons
set forth above shall not serve a notice pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(2), file
or prosecute an unlawful detainer action based on a 3-day pay or quit notice, or otherwise seek
to, or threaten to, evict the tenant for nonpayment of rent.
b. A landlord knows of a tenant’s inability to pay rent within the meaning of this
Ordinance if the tenant, within seven (7) days after the date that rent is due, notifies the landlord
in writing that the tenant has incurred financial impacts as defined in this Ordinance or incurred
extraordinary expenses related to COVID-19, and is unable to pay full rent, late charges, or other
fees or charges, due to those financial impacts related to COVID-19, and within 30 days after the
date the rent is due, provides written documentation to the landlord to support the tenant’s
inability to pay all or part of the rent due, and evidence that the tenant has applied for available
state and federal aid programs for which the tenant is eligible. No landlord shall take action to
evict a tenant solely because the tenant is unable to provide adequate documentation of financial
impacts related to COVID-19 within the time provided by this Ordinance if the tenant is unable
to contact the tenant’s employer or other source of income and continues to make good faith
efforts to do so.
c. For purposes of this Ordinance, “financial impacts” means a substantial loss of
the tenant’s monthly household income due to business closure, loss of compensable hours of
work or wages, or extraordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses. A financial impact is “related
to COVID-19” if it was the result of any of the following: (1) the tenant’s own diagnosis with
COVID-19 or the tenant’s need to care for a household or immediate family member who is
diagnosed with COVID-19; (2) a layoff, loss of hours, or other income reduction resulting from
business closure or other economic or employer impacts of COVID-19; (3) compliance with a
recommendation or order from the County Health Officer to stay at home, isolate, self-
quarantine, or avoid congregating with others during the COVID-19 state of emergency; (4)
extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses related to diagnosis and testing for and/or treatment of
COVID-19; or (5) additional child care costs arising from school closures related to COVID-19.
d. For purposes of this Ordinance, a tenant’s notification “in writing” to the landlord
includes email or text communications from the tenant to a landlord or the landlord’s
representative if that is the method of written communication that has been used previously, or
correspondence by regular mail, if that is the method of written communication that has been
used previously and the parties have not agreed to use email or text messaging.
e. For purposes of this Ordinance, “written documentation” of a substantial financial
impact shall include, without limitation, written notifications from employers, written documents
from doctors or local or County health care providers and officials, multiple pay stubs showing
comparisons of income, medical or childcare bills, and bank statements or deposit records. Any
medical or financial information provided to the landlord by the tenant shall be held in
confidence, and shall be used only for evaluating the tenant’s claim.
f. Nothing in this Ordinance shall relieve the tenant of liability for the unpaid rent,
which the landlord may seek after expiration of the local emergency, and which the tenant must
pay in full within six (6) months following the expiration or termination of the local emergency.
Six (6) months following the end of the local emergency, if the rent is unpaid, a landlord may
charge or collect a late fee for rent that is further delayed for the reasons stated in this Ordinance;
or a landlord may seek rent that is delayed for the reasons stated in this Ordinance through the
eviction or other appropriate legal process. No fee for the late payment of rent shall be charged
by a landlord during the period of the local emergency or for six (6) months after the end of the
emergency.
g. For purposes of this Ordinance, “no-fault eviction” refers to any eviction for
which the notice to terminate tenancy is not based on alleged fault by the tenant, including but
not limited to eviction notices served pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 1161(1),
1161(5), or 1161b.
h. This Ordinance prevents the enforcement of nonpayment eviction notices, no-
fault eviction notices, and unlawful detainer actions based on such notices, served or filed on or
after the date on which a local emergency was proclaimed in Seal Beach on March 13, 2020 and
shall constitute a defense to any such action by a landlord in violation of this Ordinance.
i. The term “tenant” in this Ordinance refers to leases, rental agreements, or any
other agreement pursuant to which a person has been given permission to occupy real property
owned by another in exchange for financial or other consideration.
Section 3. Commercial Eviction Moratorium. A temporary moratorium on eviction for non-
payment of rent by commercial tenants substantially impacted by the COVID-19 crisis is
imposed as follows:
a. During the period of local emergency declared in response to COVID-19, no
landlord shall take any action to evict a tenant in either of the following situations: (1) for
nonpayment of rent, late fees, or other fees or charges, if the tenant demonstrates that the tenant
is unable to pay the same due to financial impacts related to COVID-19, or (2) for a no-fault
eviction unless immediately necessary for the health and safety of tenants, neighbors, or the
landlord, which shall be confirmed by the City’s Building Official prior to any such eviction,
other than based on illness of the tenant or any other occupant. A landlord who knows that a
tenant cannot pay some or all of the rent temporarily for the reasons set forth above shall not
serve a notice pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(2), file or prosecute an unlawful
detainer action based on a 3-day pay or quit notice, or otherwise seek to, or threaten to, evict the
tenant for nonpayment of rent.
b. A landlord knows of a tenant’s inability to pay rent within the meaning of this
Ordinance if the tenant, within seven (7) days after the date that rent is due, notifies the landlord
in writing that the tenant has lost income or incurred extraordinary expenses related to COVID-
19 and is unable to pay full rent, late charges, or other fees or charges, due to financial impacts
related to COVID-19, and within 30 days after the date the rent is due, provides written
documentation to the landlord to support the tenant’s inability to pay all or part of the rent due,
and evidence that the tenant has applied for available state and federal aid programs for which
the tenant is eligible. No landlord shall take action, or threaten, to evict a tenant solely because
the tenant is unable to provide adequate documentation of financial impacts related to COVID-
19 within the time provided by this Ordinance if the tenant is unable to contact the tenant’s bank,
bookkeeper, or accountant and continues to make good faith efforts to do so.
c. For purposes of this Ordinance, “financial impacts” means a substantial loss of
the tenant’s monthly business income due to business closure, loss of compensable business,
sales, or fees, or extraordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses. A financial impact is “related to
COVID-19” if it was the result of any of the following: (1) a key employee or manager of the
tenant’s diagnosis with COVID-19 or that person’s tenant’s need to care for a household or
immediate family member who is diagnosed with COVID-19; (2) a layoff, loss of hours, loss of
business, fees or business income resulting from the “safer at home” order, business closure or
other economic or employer impacts of COVID-19; (3) compliance with a recommendation or
order from the County Health Officer to stay at close the business, stay at home, isolate, self-
quarantine, or avoid congregating with others during the COVID-19 state of emergency; (4)
extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses related to diagnosis and testing for and/or treatment of
COVID-19; or (5) the business owner’s, manager’s or key employees’ need to provide additional
child care as a result of school closures related to COVID-19.
d. For purposes of this Ordinance, a notification “in writing” to the landlord includes
email or text communications from the tenant to a landlord or the landlord’s representative if that
is the method of written communication that has been used previously, or correspondence by
regular mail, if that is the method of written communication that has been used previously and
the parties have not agreed to use email or text messaging.
e. For purposes of this Ordinance, “written documentation” of a substantial financial
impact shall include, without limitation, written notifications from employers, clients or
customers, written documents from doctors, or local or County health care providers and
officials, multiple pay stubs showing comparisons of income, medical or childcare bills, and
income statements, bank statements or deposit records. Any medical or financial information
provided to the landlord by the tenant shall be held in confidence, and shall be used only for
evaluating the tenant’s claim.
f. Nothing in this Ordinance shall relieve the tenant of liability for the unpaid rent,
which the landlord may seek after expiration of the local emergency, and which the tenant must
pay in full within six (6) months following the expiration or termination of the local emergency.
Six (6) months following the end of the local emergency, if the rent is unpaid, a landlord may
charge or collect a late fee for rent that is further delayed for the reasons stated in this Ordinance;
or a landlord may seek rent that is delayed for the reasons stated in this Ordinance through the
eviction or other appropriate legal process. No fee for the late payment of rent shall be charged
by a landlord during the period of the local emergency or for six (6) months after the end of the
emergency.
g. This Ordinance prevents the enforcement of nonpayment eviction notices, no-
fault eviction notices, and unlawful detainer actions based on such notices, served or filed on or
after the date on which a local emergency was proclaimed on March 13, 2020.
i. The term “tenant” in this Ordinance refers to a lease, rental agreement, or any
other agreement pursuant to which a person has been given permission to occupy real property
owned by another in exchange for financial or other consideration.
Section 4. Urgency. The City Council finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the
risk of housing displacement, loss of income, and homelessness for many people in the City of
Seal Beach and surrounding areas, as more fully described in the recitals of this Ordinance. The
City Council further finds that, unless this Ordinance is effective and its regulations are
immediately put in place, the public health, safety and welfare will be at risk. Therefore, the
immediate preservation of the public health, safety and welfare requires that this Ordinance be
enacted as an urgency ordinance pursuant to Government Code section 36937(b) and that it take
effect immediately upon adoption pursuant to Government Code section 36934, and its urgency
is hereby declared.
Section 5. Violations. Violations of this Ordinance shall be punishable as set forth in Chapter
1.15 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code. In addition, this Ordinance grants a defense in the event
that an unlawful detainer action is commenced in violation of this Ordinance.
Section 6. Duration. This Ordinance shall remain in effect for the duration of the local
emergency.
Section 7.Uncodified. This Ordinance shall not be codified.
Section 8. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance is held invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be considered a separate, distinct and independent
provision and such holding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the other provisions
of this Ordinance.
Section 9.Effective Date. Based upon the findings in Section 3 of this Ordinance, this
Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by a minimum 4/5 vote of the City
Council.
Section 10. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance, and
the City Clerk shall cause this Ordinance or a summary thereof to be published as required by
law. The City Manager is directed to widely publicize the adoption of this Ordinance.
