California Gov. Newsom signs COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act (AB3088)

Gov. Gavin Newsom late Monday signed the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020, legislation that prohibits the eviction of renters with genuine COVID-related hardships but reopens the unlawful-detainer process for tenants who cause problems at the property.

This new law isn’t ideal, but it’s quite a bit better than the other bill that was being considered (AB1436), which was dubbed the “free rent” bill. 

Here’s the link to the full story on this new law which takes effect immediately:
