Legislative Update - October 19, 2023
New Rental Laws Coming in 2024
SCRHA reported last week that several bills were signed by the Governor and are now law. SB 567 (Durazo) alters the law for certain no-fault just cause scenarios. AB 12 will limit security deposits to no more than one month's rent with very limited exceptions. SB 267 will require housing providers to accept alternative evidence in lieu of credit screening when the applicant has a government subsidy. Also recently signed was SB 712 (Portantino) having to do with e-bike storage and the safety of rental units. While most bills go into effect January 1, SB 567 goes into effect April 1 and AB 12 is effective July 1.
