Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order Friday prohibiting landlords in Los Angeles County from evicting tenants who open their doors to wildfire victims.

The order, however, doesn’t prohibit landlords from enforcing other parts of a tenant’s lease.

The Palisades and Eaton wildfires have killed 27 people and damaged over 17,000 structures.
