California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law to close a loophole in a 2019 law that has allowed landlords to circumvent the state’s rent cap.
Under the new law, landlords moving into their units or renting to family also must identify the people moving in. In addition, the rental must be occupied within three months of eviction and they must live in the unit for at least a year. Those who evict tenants to renovate properties must include copies of permits or contracts, among other details, when serving eviction notices.
The law, which was authored by Democratic state Sen. María Elena Durazo, also allows the attorney general, local government and renters to sue landlords for wrongful evictions and illegal rent increases. “Every city and county in the state shouldn’t have to pass their own ordinance to close these loopholes,” said Suzie Dershowitz, a representative of Public Advocates. The group sponsored the legislation.
