Summary

Existing law contains various provisions regulating the hiring of real property, as specified. This bill would require the landlord, at the time of the execution of the rental agreement of a single-family or multifamily dwelling unit, not to exceed 4 units, to disclose in writing if the property is subject to any outstanding notice of default, pending suit to foreclose a mortgage, pending declaration of forfeiture, or any pending proceeding to foreclose a tax lien, as specified. This bill would allow the tenant to recover twice the actual damages or twice the monthly rent, whichever is greater, and all prepaid rent, if the tenancy terminates, as provided. The provisions of this bill would not apply to premises managed by a court-appointed receiver.
