Existing law generally regulates the relationship between parties to a lease of real property. Existing law refers to the lessor of real property variously as, among other terms, "landlord" or "lessor" and refers to the lessee of real property variously as, among other terms, "tenant" or "lessee." Existing law creates the California Law Revision Commission and requires the commission to, among other things, examine the common law and statutes of the state and judicial decisions for the purpose of discovering defects and anachronisms in the law and recommending needed reforms. This bill would require the commission to, on or before December 31, 2024, deliver to the Legislature a study regarding, among other things, the establishment of consistent terminology across the California codes to describe the parties to an agreement, lease, or other contract for the rental of residential real property, including in mobilehome parks, that meets certain criteria, specifically, among other things, that the study addresses whether the continued use of the terms "landlord" and "tenant," including related terms including "cotenant" and "subtenant," is useful and appropriate in code provisions that involve the rental of residential real property.
