Racist housing rules are no longer enforceable.
Under a new state law, counties must now work to purge their property records of decades-old racist language that once banned people of color from buying homes in neighborhoods across California.
“This law brings awareness to the fact that the covenants are not only our legacy but that their remnants are still in practice,” said Tomiquia Moss, founder of the Bay Area advocacy group All Home, which pushed for the bill’s passage last year. Other covenants from that era specifically prohibit residents of “African, Mongolian or Japanese” descent.
In 2000, California set up a process for homeowners to strike racist language from property records. The state’s new law,, now allows anyone, even those who don’t own or live in properties with racial covenants, to file a form requesting county officials redact the language. “We already give a number of advisories to sellers and buyers in any transaction, and we’ll be adding one more advisory to that effect,” Rao said.
