Abstract

Extends the required period for a notice of summary possession from five business days to fifteen calendar days. Requires landlords to provide notice with specified terms to a tenant and enter into mediation with the tenant. Delays when a landlord may seek possession of a dwelling unit if the tenant schedules or attempts to schedule mediation. Requires landlords to provide the notice to mediation centers that offer free mediation for residential landlord-tenant disputes. Restricts when a landlord may exercise these remedies depending on the number of days that have elapsed following the expiration date of the governor's final eviction moratorium and the amount of rent due. Appropriates funds for the judiciary to contract for mediation services. Repeals 12/31/2022, or one year after expiration of the governor's final eviction moratorium emergency supplementary proclamation related to the coronavirus diseaseĀ 2019 pandemic, whichever is sooner. Effective 5/6/2137. (HD1)
