Going forward, tenants will need to pay 25% of their monthly rent; eventually they will be on the hook for the entire rent bill.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has promised to sign the measure if it passes, which would add protections for tenants who haven't paid rent between March and August, but allow other types of evictions to proceed.
