Tenant and Landlord Law Enforcement

Abstract

Section 1 of the bill clarifies that the attorney general has the power to initiate and bring civil and criminal actions to enforce certain state landlord-tenant laws. Section 2 makes corresponding conforming amendments to the attorney general's statutory powers and duties. Sections 3 and 4 grant counties, cities and counties, and municipalities the power to initiate and bring civil and criminal actions to enforce certain state landlord-tenant laws. Section 5 establishes a receivership mechanism that is available as a remedy for violations of applicable laws and regulations by the owner of multifamily residential property. The attorney general's office, a county, a city and county, and a municipality may all apply to a district court for the appointment of a receiver to operate a residential property. The bill establishes the process for a district court appointing a receiver, including requiring a hearing and an order of appointment that specifies the duties of a receiver, and the criteria for qualifying as a receiver. No sooner than 180 days after the district court appoints a receiver, the owner of the relevant property, attorney general, county, city and county, or municipality may submit an application to the district court seeking the termination of the receivership. As with the appointing of a receiver, the bill establishes the process by which a district court may terminate a receivership.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
