Overview
This bill addresses housing assistance for tenants, mobilehome park residents, and homeowners impacted by disasters. It modifies existing laws to provide protections during and after disaster-related closures or changes of use for mobilehome parks. Specifically, it reduces or waives the requirement to pay displaced residents the in-place market value of their mobilehomes if the closure is due to a disaster, and it establishes procedures for landlords to remediate dilapidation caused by disasters, with a presumption of untenantability in certain cases. Additionally, it clarifies mortgage forbearance requirements during wildfire emergencies.
Key provisions

- Mandates that landlords undertake actions to remediate dilapidations caused by disasters within a reasonable time.
- Establishes a presumption that a unit with debris from a disaster is untenantable until a public health agency determines the debris is not toxic.

- Returns advance rental payments to tenants or homeowners when residential real property is terminated due to disaster damage.
- Coordinates mortgage forbearance programs during wildfire emergencies with mortgage lenders and servicers.
