The Veterans Affairs hospital on the Westside is evicting a bus company, a car rental firm and a commercial laundry from its site to try to counter criticism that it puts commercial interests ahead of veterans.
The three longtime tenants are among about two dozen private entities holding land-use agreements with the agency.
They were told they do not meet requirements contained in a recently enacted master plan for the 387-acre campus, the Associated Press reported.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car, which stores vehicles on campus, was told to move to a different part of the site by October to make space for a new mental health building and to leave the property entirely by May 2012, the AP reported.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles' Tumbleweed Charter Buses Inc., which keeps more than 170 vehicles on site, was told in May it would be able to use the facility for only one more year.
