The city of Los Angeles is unable to do this. I have changed the petition to aim it at the state. Please contact you state senators and assembly members http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/
I altered the English version of the petition to make the stance on mortgages more clear.
We have gotten part of what we want in the petition. A moratorium on fees, penalties, and other charges for late rent. Now we need to call, write, email our city councilmen and tell them that we support this, that this is what we want! They will hear us. Especially as the vote comes before the city council.
This is from the office of the Mayor of LA, it goes over how the eviction moratorium works:

This policy sounds great, and is better than nothing. But forbearance sucks. All the interest you don't pay is added to the principal. You end up with another 5 years on the loan with a one year break. True relief is called deferment, where interest is paused, and payments are suspended.
Moratorium on collection, DEFERMENT of interest, help now.
