Summary

Existing law establishes the criteria for determining when a tenant is guilty of unlawful detainer, including conduct involving illegally selling a controlled substance, or the commission of an offense involving the unlawful possession or use of illegal weapons or ammunition or the use of the premises to further that purpose. Any of those acts may be deemed to constitute committing a nuisance on the premises. Existing law authorizes, in specified counties, only until January 1, 2010, a city prosecutor or city attorney to file an action for unlawful detainer in the name of the people against any person who is in violation of the nuisance or the illegal purpose provisions of the unlawful detainer provision described above, with respect to controlled substances or unlawful weapons or ammunition. These provisions also impose specified reporting requirements regarding the implementation of these programs upon the city attorney and city prosecutor of each participating jurisdiction. The information compiled pursuant to these provisions is reported annually to the Judicial Council on or before January 30 of each year. The Judicial Council is required to report to the Legislature, as specified. This bill would expand the scope of the latter provisions to apply in additional specified counties, revise the reporting requirements to require, among other changes, that the reports be made to the California Research Bureau, rather than the Judicial Council, and that the California Research Bureau report to the Legislature, as specified, and would make the provisions operative until January 1, 2014. In the County of Los Angeles, however, in courts that have a specified jurisdiction, the provision authorizing an action for unlawful detainer with respect to a violation relating to controlled substances would be operative indefinitely, except as specified. The bill would also require the 2013 report to indicate whether the City of Los Angeles has regularly reported to the bureau. In the City of Los Angeles, certain provisions would remain in effect indefinitely if the city has regularly reported to the bureau. The bill would provide that the city would be deemed to have regularly reported if the 2013 report indicates that fact. The bill would also make related technical changes.
