Rental housing: tenant notice.

Abstract

Existing law requires an owner of a dwelling structure, as specified, or a party signing a rental agreement or lease on behalf of the owner, or in the case of an oral rental agreement, the owner or a person acting on behalf of the owner, as specified, to provide specified information to a tenant, including, among other things, the name, telephone number, and address of the person or entity to whom rent payments shall be made. Existing law requires a successor owner or manager to comply with these requirements within 15 days of succeeding the previous owner or manager. This bill would prohibit a successor owner or manager from evicting a tenant for nonpayment of rent that accrued during the period of noncompliance by a successor owner or manager with the above-described information requirements. The bill would provide that these provisions would not relieve the tenant of any liability for unpaid rent.
