The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday backed a proposal to ban landlords from harassing tenants.

The ordinance defines tenant harassment as “a landlord’s knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific tenant or tenants that causes detriment or harm, and that serves no lawful purpose.”

The ordinance also bans any repeated actions that interfere with or disturb a tenant’s comfort to get them to give up their rights to the tenancy.

It doesn’t prevent lawful evictions, but it could make it easier for tenants to pursue a case against landlords for harassment, seeking civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation, or more if the tenant is older than 65 years or disabled.
