Revised:  

Residential Tenants

For residential tenants, the Fifth Revised First Supplement (the “Order”) retains and extends the temporary moratorium for evictions for COVID-19 related non-payment of rent.

For a period extending 12 months after the expiration of the Order, a residential tenant may not be evicted for non-payment of rent that became due between March 14, 2020 and the expiration of the Order, if the residential tenant has taken two steps within 30 days of the date that rent is due:

1. Provide written notice to the landlord that the tenant is unable to pay rent due to COVID-19 related income loss, such as:

• being sick with COVID-19, or caring for someone who is sick with COVID-19;
• lay-off, loss of hours, or other income reduction resulting from business closure or other economic impacts of COVID-19;
• compliance with a recommendation from a government health authority to stay home, self-quarantine, or avoid congregating with others during the state of emergency;
• extraordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses; or
• child care needs arising from school closures related to COVID-19.

1. Provide documentation to the landlord showing the tenant has experienced a loss of income or new expenses due to COVID-19 that create an inability to pay.

Notice and documentation that establishes any loss of income o increase in expenses due to COVID-19 is sufficient. A statement written by a residential tenant in a single communication may constitute both notice and documentation.  The communication may be an email, text, letter, or any other form of written communication. 

A tenant is still obligated to pay a landlord back rent for all rent that is owed and unpaid during the emergency.  The tenant must pay this rent within the 12 months following the expiration of the Order.  The expiration is currently July 31, 2020, so the tenant would have until July 31, 2021 to pay back the unpaid rent. 

Residential units may not be removed from the rental market pursuant to the Ellis Act while the Order is in effect.  Tenancies may not be terminated pursuant to the Ellis Act until 60 days after the expiration of the Order.

Landlords also may not evict residential tenants for any of these reasons:

• A landlord may not evict a residential tenant in any no-fault eviction.
• A landlord may not evict a residential tenant for refusing entry into a unit, unless the landlord seeks entry to repair a condition that substantially endangers or impairs the health or safety of the tenant or other persons in the vicinity of the premises, or a condition that is causing or threatening to cause substantial damage to the premises. When a landlord does enter a unit, the landlord must ensure that appropriate social distancing, cleaning, and sanitation measures are taken during the entry.
• A landlord may not evict a residential tenant based on the presence of unauthorized occupants or their pets, or nuisance related to COVID-19, unless the nuisance substantially endangers or impairs the health or safety of a tenant or other persons in the vicinity of the premises, or causes or threatens to cause substantial damage to the premises.

Beginning April 24, 2020, landlords remain required, to provide residential tenants with notice of the eviction moratorium as follows:

• Landlords must either post notice at their property or mail (or email) notice to tenants;  
• Landlords must include notice of the moratorium when serving tenants with any notice to pay rent or quit, or other notices given to tenants as part of an eviction process;
• Landlords must provide an additional copy of the notice to the tenant if the landlord files an unlawful detainer action; and 
• The required notice language is provided in the moratorium.
• In addition, if a landlord files an unlawful detainer action during the period in which the Judicial Council Emergency Rules prohibit courts from issuing a summons, the landlord must serve the tenant with a copy of the complaint within 3 days of filing the complaint

A landlord who knows of facts providing a residential tenant with an affirmative defense to eviction under the Order, and who nevertheless acts in bad faith to evict the residential tenant will be deemed in violation of the City’s Tenant Harassment Ordinance.  The Order increases the maximum civil penalty for violation of that ordinance occurring while the Order is in effect from $10,000 to $15,000.   

Commercial Tenants

The Fifth Revised First Supplement (the “Order”) substantially modifies the temporary eviction moratorium as it applies to commercial tenants.

The Order defines three different classes of commercial tenants, each of which is treated differently. 

      Commercial Tenant 3

The protections provided by the Order do not apply to a commercial tenant 3, which the Order defines as a commercial tenant, other than a non-profit, that is: (1) a publicly traded company; (2) a business that (together with its affiliates) employees more than 100 employees, has average annual gross receipts of more than $15 million over the previous three years, or has business operations, other than sales conducted solely through online channels, in three or more countries; or (3) is a business that receives a guarantee of rent from one of the first two types of businesses.  Any protections a commercial tenant 3 may have received under prior versions of the Order terminate as of June 30, 2020, meaning that a commercial tenant 3 will need to repay any unpaid rent by June 30, 2020.

       Commercial Tenant 2

The protections provided by the Order also do not apply to a commercial tenant 2, which the Order defines as a commercial tenant (other than a commercial tenant 3) in office work space that is not a non-profit, does not collect sales tax on greater than 50% of its revenue, does not provide medical, dental, veterinary, fitness, educational, or child, marriage, family, mental health, or substance abuse counseling services, and does not use the office work space to engage primarily in a “substantially limited business.” 

The Order defines a substantially limited business by reference to County public health orders as: (1) restaurants, retail business, hair salons and barbershops, fitness facilities, and museums, galleries, and other exhibition spaces that closed or substantially limited their operations as required by the County Safer at Home orders and whose reopening remains subject to substantial limitations as the result of protocols imposed by the County’s June 11 Reopening Order; and   (2) higher-risk businesses that remain closed as required by the County’s June 11 Reopening Order. 

Any protections a commercial tenant 2 who provided the required notice and documentation may have received under prior versions of the Order are extended to July 31, 2020, but terminate as of that date, meaning that a commercial tenant 2 will need to repay any unpaid rent by, at the latest, August 31, 2020.

      Commercial Tenant 1

The Order extends to July 31, 2020 the temporary eviction moratorium for a commercial tenant 1, which the Order defines as any commercial tenant other than a commercial tenant 2 or 3. 

A commercial tenant 1 may not be evicted for nonpayment of rent due to financial impacts related to COVID-19 until 12 months after June 30, 2020.  For rent due between March 18, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the commercial tenant 1 qualifies for this protection if, within 30 days after the rent was due, it provided the notice and documentation required by prior versions of the Order.  For rent that becomes due after July 1, 2020, a commercial tenant 1 qualifies for this protection if, within 30 days after the rent is due, it provides the following notice and documentation:

• For a commercial tenant 1 engaged in a substantially limited business (as defined above), notice and documentation that indicates any loss of income or expenses due to COVID-19;
• For any other commercial tenant 1, notice that the tenant has suffered financial impacts relating to COVID-19 that have resulted in a substantial loss of income or substantial increase in expenses that has materially negatively affected its ability to pay rent together with supporting documentation sufficient to establish this, for example, a profit and loss statement, a letter from an accountant, or a written explanation setting out an objectively verifiable explanation of the financial impacts the tenant has suffered as the result of COVID-19. 

The Order encourages landlords and commercial tenants to negotiate modifications to rental agreements and payment plans to accommodate changed economic circumstances of commercial landlords and tenants arising from the financial impacts of COVID-19. 

For questions about the City’s eviction moratorium, please visit santamonica.gov/coronavirus, or call the City’s Coronavirus Hotline at (310) 458-8400. For help in completing the tenant notice form or to file a complaint regarding eviction activity in violation of the order, please contact the Public Rights Division of the City Attorney’s Office at (310) 458-8336, or Consumer.Mailbox@smgov.net

Twentieth Supplement:

In accordance with the County Safer at Home Orders and the California Department of Health’s recent Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings, the Twentieth Supplement sets out specifics regarding the requirement that all individuals wear face coverings whenever they leave their place of residence. In particular, the supplement makes clear that the face covering requirement applies:

• when individuals are or can be in contact with or walking near or past others who are non-household members in both public and private spaces, including, but not limited to, walking through common areas such as hallways, stairways, elevators, and parking facilities (this requires that a face covering be worn whenever a moving person approaches within 30 feet of a non-household member);
• when patronizing a business, including while standing in line to enter any business;
• when obtaining services from healthcare operations, unless otherwise directed by the healthcare provider;
• when obtaining services from and while inside or at any location or facility engaging in essential government functions;
• when waiting for or riding on public transportation or paratransit or while in a taxi, private car service, or ride-sharing vehicle;
• when driving or operating any public transportation or paratransit vehicle, taxi, or private car service or ride-sharing vehicle when passengers are present;
• when participating in an in-person protest; and
• when engaged in work, either at a business or off-site (other than at one’s own residence) and (i) interacting in-person with any member of the public; (ii) working in any space visited by members of the public, regardless of whether anyone from the public is present at the time; (iii) working in any space where food is prepared or packaged for sale or distribution to others; (iv) working in or walking through common areas, such as hallways, stairways, elevators, and parking facilities; or (v) in any room or enclosed area where people who are non-household members are present and unable to maintain a minimum six-foot separation from one another. 

Exemptions from the face covering requirement apply to the following:

• persons younger than two years old;
• persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a face covering;
• persons who are hearing impaired, or communicating with a person who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication;
• persons for whom wearing a face covering would create a risk to the person related to their work, as determined by local, state, or federal regulators or workplace safety guidelines;
• persons who are obtaining a service involving the nose or face for which temporary removal of the face covering is necessary to perform the service;
• persons who are (i) outdoors alone or with household members; (ii) stationary; and (iii) maintaining at least six feet between the edge of the area they are in and the edge of the next closest person’s area;
• persons who are actively engaged in a water-based activity, including, but not limited to, swimming and surfing.
• persons compliant with the County Department of Health’s Protocol for Restaurants Opening for On-Site Dining under which customers who are seated at a restaurant or other establishment that offers food or beverage service are not required to wear face coverings while they are eating or drinking;
• persons wearing personal protective equipment (“PPE”), such as medical-grade N95 respirator or a similar mask that is more protective than a face covering;
• persons compliant with any other reopening protocol issued by the County Department of Health authorizing persons to remove their face coverings. 

The supplement specifies that business operators may refuse admission or service to any person who fails to wear a face covering as required or fails to comply with social distancing requirements imposed by the County Safer at Home orders.  The supplement also authorizes administrative citations for failing to wear face coverings as required, with fines for individuals of $100 for a first violation, $250 for a second violation, and $500 for a third violation. 

First Revised Twentieth Supplement:

The revisions –

• Further clarify the requirement that all persons must wear face coverings whenever they leave their place of residence and are or can be in contact with or walking near or past others who are non-household members in both public and private spaces, including, but not limited to, walking through common areas such as hallways, stairways, elevators, and parking facilities;
• Clarify that having a face covering visible and immediately ready to put on whenever within 30 feet of another non-household member is intended to satisfy the face covering requirement when walking, running, biking, or otherwise exercising or moving in outdoor areas such as sidewalks, parks, paths, and trails; and
• Add provisions permitting limited inquiries to those asserting exemptions from the face covering because of medical condition, mental health condition, or disability to prevent fraudulent assertions of such exemptions.

Twenty-First Supplement:

The California Secretary of State and County election officials have advised that, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, they must continue to require that nominating papers contain original signatures and cannot accept electronic signatures. While California Elections Code Section 11020, which applies to general law cities, states that for cities with 1,000 or more registered voters, the number of nominating signatures required is between 20 and 30, Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Section 11.04.010 requires candidates to gather nominating signatures from no less than 100 voters. Balancing the potential COVID-19 risks posed by possible personal contact between and among those circulating nominating papers and the voters signing those nomination papers, and the interest reflected in SMMC Section 11.04.010 that candidates demonstrate significant voter support for their nominations, the Twenty-First Supplement reduces the number of nominating signatures that must be gathered by candidates to which SMMC Section 11.04.010 would apply from 100 to 60.

Revised Twenty-First Supplement:

The revision adds a waiver of the $1 fee for each additional set of nominating papers after the first two sets. Providing candidates with additional sets of nominating papers at no charge is intended to enable candidates to gather fewer nominating signatures on any one set of nominating papers, thus reducing the likelihood that larger groups of nominating voters will be required to get together to sign.

Second Revised Twenty-First Supplement:

Further reduces the number of nominating signatures from 60 to 30.

The Fifth Revised First Supplement issued June 17, 2020 extended eviction moratoriums for residential and some commercial tenants through July 31, 2020.

 Santa Monica Extends its Eviction Moratorium for Commercial Tenants and Emergency Orders to March 31, 2021

The Thirty-Second Supplement: 

• Given that AB 3088’s eviction protections for residential tenants for nonpayment of rent due to COVID-19 financial distress apply only to rent through January 31, 2021, extends the City’s moratorium on evictions of residential tenants for non-payment of rent due to the financial impacts of COVID-19 to apply to rents due and unpaid during the period February 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021. As a result, under the City’s moratorium, so long as a residential tenant provides the required notice to their landlord: (a) for rent due and unpaid due to financial impacts of COVID-19 between March 14, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the tenant has until September 30, 2021 to pay the rent, and a landlord may not endeavor to evict based on nonpayment of that rent until that date; and (b) for rent due and unpaid due to financial impacts of COVID-19 between February 1, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the tenant has until March 31, 2022 to pay the rent, and a landlord may not endeavor to evict based on nonpayment of that rent until that date.  AB 3088 governs attempted evictions of residential tenants for nonpayment of rent due during the period October 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.

 Satellite Outdoor Dining Extension for Third Street Promenade; Extension of Residential Tenant Eviction Moratorium to June 30, 2021

The Thirty-Third Supplement: 

• Permits satellite outdoor dining in portions of the roadway in the Third Street Promenade pursuant to limitations set out in the supplement and regulations to be issued by the Director of the Community Development Department.
• Given that AB 3088’s eviction protections for residential tenants for nonpayment of rent due to COVID-19 financial distress apply only to rent through January 31, 2021, and in light of the slow pace of the vaccination program and the expectation that the COVID-19 emergency will extend past March 31, 2021, extends the City’s moratorium on evictions of residential tenants for non-payment of rent due to the financial impacts of COVID-19 to apply to rents due and unpaid during the period February 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. As a result, under the City’s moratorium, so long as a residential tenant provides the required notice to their landlord: (a) for rent due and unpaid due to financial impacts of COVID-19 between March 14, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the tenant has until September 30, 2021 to pay the rent, and a landlord may not endeavor to evict based on nonpayment of that rent until that date; and (b) for rent due and unpaid due to financial impacts of COVID-19 between February 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the tenant has until June 30, 2022 to pay the rent, and a landlord may not endeavor to evict based on nonpayment of that rent until that date.  AB 3088 governs attempted evictions of residential tenants for nonpayment of rent due during the period October 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021, and subsequent state legislation might affect the extension of the City’s moratorium based on nonpayment of rent.

The Thirty-Fifth Supplement:

• With specified exceptions, extends the expiration of prior supplements that remain in place to June 15, 2021. Later expiration dates stated in specific supplements remain unchanged.  Exceptions to the extension are the following: 
• Imposition of late payment penalties for unpaid or delinquent Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) and Fire Prevention Inspection charges may resume as of May 1, 2021;

The Thirty-Sixth Supplement:

• Supersedes and replaces the First Revised Twentieth Supplement issued July 15, 2020, to modify the City’s requirements regarding the wearing of face coverings to mesh with the State and County’s latest guidance regarding the continued use of face coverings (including in certain situations even by those who have been fully-vaccinated) through at least June 15, 2021;

The Thirty-Seventh Supplement:

• Provisions of various prior supplements relating to business use of outdoor public and private space that were superseded by the City Council’s June 8, 2021 adoption of Emergency Ordinance No. 2673, Emergency Interim Zoning Ordinance No. 2674, and two resolutions (Nos. 11339 and 11340) establishing and waiving certain fees for use of public property; and
• Specified provisions (all specifically identified and described in Section 3 of the ) in various prior supplements that are being rolled back in light of decreasing COVID-19 case rates and increasing vaccination rates that have led to significant modifications to State and County public health requirements and the State’s anticipated June 15, 2021, full reopening.
• The City’s eviction moratorium for residential tenants for reasons other than non-payment of rent is not extended by the Thirty-Seventh Supplement but remains in place through June 30, 2021, subject to any subsequent order that may extend that date.
• In lieu of prior City-specific requirements for social distancing and the wearing of face coverings, all of which are not extended, the Thirty-Seventh Supplement implements and authorizes the enforcement of all directives included in the California Department of Public Health’s Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings and all directives in the County Department of Health’s Safer at Home Order, including any amendments and successors to those Orders.

The Thirty-Eighth Supplement:

State law protections against eviction of residential tenants premised on non-payment of rent currently apply only to rent incurred through June 30.  Similarly, the City’s emergency supplements providing residential tenants with protection against evictions for reasons other than non-payment of rent were scheduled to expire on June 30, 2021. 

On June 22, 2021, Los Angeles County extended its eviction moratorium, which states that it applies to incorporated cities within the County to the extent they do not impose a stricter moratorium.  The Thirty-Eighth Supplement adopts relevant provisions of the County extension (rendering them enforceable by the City) to extend through September 30 the moratorium on evictions of residential tenants premised on: 

• Nonpayment of rent due between July 1 and September 30 for COVID-related reasons.
• No-Fault evictions, with a limited exception for owner move-ins to single family residences
• Unauthorized occupants or pets or nuisance (we originally were going to exclude nuisance, but the County has included it and it is difficult to justify a different position)The Thirty-Seventh Supplement:

The State is considering legislation to extend the state-law protections against evictions of residential tenants premised on non-payment of rent; if implemented, such an extension may preempt and supersede the County provisions regarding non-payment of rent adopted by the Thirty-Eighth Supplement.

The Thirty-Ninth Supplement:

• With specified exceptions, extends the expiration of prior supplements that remain in place to September 30, 2021.  Later expiration dates stated in specific supplements remain unchanged.  Exceptions to the extension are the following:
  •  Sections 1 and 2 of the Thirteenth Supplement, issued May 8, 2020, which implemented temporary changes to the City’s Housing Trust Fund (“HTF”) and Affordable Housing Production Program (“AHPP”) guidelines, and which have been superseded by permanent amendments to the HTF and AHPP guidelines adopted by Council at its July 13, 2021 meeting; and
  • Section 3 of the Twenty-Sixth Supplement, which authorized the Director of the Community Services Department to implement temporary guidelines and regulations to permit the use of City sites for drive-in movie theaters, vehicle-based parades, concerts and other entertainment events, speakers, tours, and corporate exhibitions – use of City sites for these purposes will return to being governed by the City’s pre-COVID-19 community event regulations.
