Committee Delays Proposed Crackdown on Street-Based RV Rentals

LOS ANGELES - Cases against operators renting RVs on Los Angeles streets often depend on statements from the people paying to live in them, according to an LAPD report. Some residents fear cooperating could cost them their only shelter. Those are among the enforcement hurdles facing a proposed crackdown on so-called "van lords." On Tuesday, the City Council's Homelessness and Health Committee postponed consideration of the proposal at the request of its chair, Councilwoman Ysabel Jurado. The five-member committee had been scheduled to hear reports and consider a draft ordinance explicitly extending the city's vehicle-business restrictions to RVs. The matter was continued to a future meeting. The proposal would carry civil penalties starting at $500 and reaching $1,000. An LAPD report submitted to the council in February describes the difficulty of gathering enough evidence to secure charges and pursue penalties. Officers investigating these cases must establish a rental or lease arrangement exists. Evidence can include a written or digital contract, payment records, or physical proof such as a key or access provided by the suspect. In many cases, people exploited through these rentals lack formal documentation of the arrangement, according to the report. Investigators then rely primarily on residents' statements.
