The Governing Body recognizes the fact that many tenants hesitate to defend their right to a clean, safe and sanitary dwelling unit due to fear of eviction. It is hereby declared to be the public policy of the City that a tenant in good standing should not be evicted from their dwelling unit where the eviction is motivated by the tenant’s exercise of a legal right to complain, in good faith, to a landlord or government agency that the dwelling unit endangers or impairs the health and safety of the tenant. (Ord. 20439 § 1, 7-11-23.)
