until june and then there wa several no-cause evictions take place, and to stop that from happening the city council approved an emergency ordinance putting those protections in place immediately and the landlords must have a reason to evict. property owners worry the new ordinance will make it difficult to get rid of problem tenants, especially those that know how to work the system. matt keller, abc7 news. take a look at the flames shooting from this apartment in walnut creek. the two-alarm fire broke out last night. two adults and three kids lived inside of the apartment that burned and now they are okay and you can see how bad the damage is to their home. investigators are trying to determine what caused the fire. it has been an emotional week for the family of sierra lamar and it's not over yet.
