AB 1529: Housing omnibus.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

(1)Existing law governs the hiring of residential dwelling units. Existing law, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, prohibits, until January 1, 2030, an owner of residential real property from terminating the tenancy of certain tenants without just cause, either at-fault or no-fault of the tenant, and requires just cause for terminating a tenancy to be stated in the written notice to terminate tenancy. The act requires an owner of residential real property subject to these provisions to provide the above-described notice to a tenant subject to specified requirements, including, for any tenancy commenced or renewed on or after July 1, 2020, as an addendum to the lease or rental agreement, or as a written notice signed by the tenant, with a copy provided to the tenant, except as specified.

This bill would allow the above-described notice to be provided in the lease or rental agreement.

(2)Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires an owner of an assisted housing development, as defined, that is within 3 years of a scheduled expiration of rental restrictions or a scheduled termination of a subsidy contract to provide notice of the scheduled expiration or termination to any prospective tenant at the time the prospective tenant is interviewed for eligibility, to existing tenants, as specified, and to affected public entities, as defined.

This bill would require a notice of a scheduled expiration of rental restrictions or a scheduled termination of a subsidy contract described above to remain posted until the expiration or termination has occurred, and would make technical changes relating to these provisions.

Existing law requires an owner of an assisted housing development, at least 12 months prior to the anticipated date of the termination of a subsidy contract, the expiration of rental restrictions, or prepayment on an assisted housing development, to provide a notice of the proposed change to each affected tenant household residing in the assisted housing development at the time the notice is provided and to the affected public entities, as specified. Existing law also requires an owner of an assisted housing development proposing to terminate a subsidy contract, or prepay the mortgage, or sell or otherwise dispose of the assisted housing development to provide a notice of the opportunity to offer to purchase, as provided. Existing law requires the notice of the opportunity to purchase to be given before or concurrently with the notice of the proposed change described above, as specified.

This bill would specify that the notice of the opportunity to purchase is required to be given before or concurrently with the 12-month notice of the proposed change, as specified.
