Los Angeles City Council votes to prohibit landlords from evicting tenants for allowing people or pets displaced by last month's fires to live with them.

The new rules would last for one year and apply only if the additional occupants and pets were displaced by the Palisades , Eaton or other January fires.

Supporters say the new rules are needed because some residential leases ban unauthorized people.
