Overview
This bill creates a clearer distinction between hotel and motel occupants who are considered tenants and those who are considered transient guests for the purposes of eviction laws. It establishes a multi-factor test, including factors like length of stay, intent to reside long-term, notification to the hotel/motel, and the presence of essential household items, to determine tenant status. Specifically, it addresses situations where occupants are receiving emergency assistance and utilizing the hotel/motel as temporary housing. The bill also clarifies that failure to register with the hotel/motel or negligent collection of registration information by the owner can impact tenant status.
