Because what’s the landlord gonna do about it?
Politicians in places like LA and SF know exactly what they’re doing.

I don’t follow. The tenant still needs to prove with documentation to the landlord, as per the article.
Pretty clear to me what is being said:
“ “I hereby order that no landlord shall evict a residential tenant in the City of Los Angeles during this local emergency period
if the tenant is able to show an inability to pay rent due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic,”Garcetti said in his order. “These circumstances include loss of income due to a COVID-19 related workplace closure, child care expenditures due to school closures, health care expenses related to being ill with COVID-19 or caring for a member of the tenant’s household who is ill with COVID-19, or reasonable expenditures that stem from government-ordered emergency measures.”
“Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to mean that the tenant will not still be obligated to pay lawfully charged rent. Tenants will have up to six months following the expiration of the local emergency period to repay any back due rent. Tenants may use the protections afforded in this subsection as an affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer action. This subsection shall remain in effect during the pendency of the local emergency period,” it continued.”
