Overview
This bill aims to protect tenants who are displaced from their homes due to fire. It expands the definition of ‘displaced person’ to include those whose dwellings become uninhabitable as a result of fire damage, making them eligible for relocation assistance under existing law. The bill also grants displaced tenants a right of first refusal to return to their former homes if repairs are completed to a satisfactory standard and establishes a process for reduced rent during the uninhabitable period, and provides a legal recourse for tenants denied this right.
