SIXTEENTH CALIFORNIA NEWS SUMMARY
Drug dealers, users can be evicted under new state law
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15 (UPI) - Los Angeles City Attorney Jim Hahn said he will
immediately begin enforcing a new state law that allows him to step in and
evict drug dealers and users when landlords fail to take action to remedy
drug-related nuisance problems. The City Council unanimously approved a plan
today to fund Hahn's new Narcotics Eviction Team. Hahn says the law allows
city prosecutors to step in when landlords either lack the will or feel too
threatened to handle the evictions themselves.
