CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY BILL -828 AB-828 SEEKS TO MANDATE A 25% RENT REDUCTION:
The Proposed Bill literally strips away Landlords rights by the implementation of the following:
Demanding Landlords reduce rents by 25% regardless if a Tenant can prove need.
Granting Judges and the Courts the power to set rents and modify lease agreements.
Providing all Tenants facing any COVID-19 hardships with some type of compensation.
Forcing Property Owners to provide evidence of their economic hardship in the collection of rents.
Allowing Nuisance Tenants to remain in possession and not be required to answer unlawful detainer complaints.
WE URGE YOU TO CONTACT YOUR STATE LEGISLATOR AND ASK THEM TO VOTE NO ON AB 828
NEW PROPOSED SENATE BILL 939
Prohibits eviction of commercial tenants,including non-profit organizations, during the state of emergency declared by Governor Newson on March 4, 2020.
The provisions of the bill are are to take effect immediately upon passage as it is an urgency statute.
A violation of the eviction prohibition will be a misdemeanor act of unfair competition business practice.
Local ordinances that prohibit the same or similar conduct or that imposes more sever penalty for the same conduct are not preempted.
Evictions that occurred after the declaration by the Governor but before the effective date of this bill would be rendered void and enforceable and evictions commenced before the dare of declaration may be continued.
