Already in L.A. County unlawful detainer filings for eviction have surged over the prior two years, when there were more layers of protection for tenants. Selena Tan, who leads Policy Link’s racial equity data lab, said rental debt estimates are likely lower than reality, partly because the Pulse survey responses represent a single point in time and may leave out renters who drop in and out of debt.
