Legislative ALERT ACTION NEEDED NOW!10day late payment eviction
Legislative ALERT
ACTION NEEDED NOW!
THE CA ASSEMBLY WILL VOTE BY MAY 31, 2018
Assembly Bill 2343 (Chiu) rewards tenants who fail to pay their rent or who remain in wrongful possession of a rental unit by delaying the unlawful detainer (UD) process by a minimum of three weeks. Specifically, it increases the rent default 3-day pay or quit period to 10 days; increases the cure or quit period for lease violations other than rent default (i.e., illegal subletting, continually disturbing other tenants, or other illegal activity) from 3 days to 10 days; and increases a tenant-defendant’s answer period after a Unlawful Detainer complaint is served from 5 days to 14 days.
Reasons To Oppose:
It increases the number of weeks and months rental property owners must provide rent-free housing to rent-defaulting tenants
It frustrates the purpose of the summary UD process
It protects lease-breaching tenants at the expense of all others
