Overview
This bill establishes requirements for landlords regarding residential tenants displaced for renovation purposes. It mandates that landlords compensate displaced tenants with the cost of a moving truck or van and 12 months’ rent if the displacement is due to renovation efforts, a landlord’s intent to occupy the unit, or a sale to a buyer seeking personal occupancy. The bill also requires landlords to provide a one-month written notice detailing the reasons for the displacement and clarifies that renovation cannot be used as a basis for eviction without proper justification. Finally, it creates a model statement for landlords to use when requesting a tenant’s departure for renovation.
