Summary

Existing law specifies that a tenant is guilty of unlawful detainer upon default in the payment of rent under the lease after receipt of 3 days' notice of that violation and failure to correct it. Existing law authorizes a court to relieve a tenant against the forfeiture of a lease or rental agreement in case of hardship, and also grants a court the discretion to relieve any person against forfeiture on its own motion. This bill would authorize a residential tenant who has been served the 3 days' notice to redeem a tenancy and continue in lawful possession by tendering to the owner or the owner's agent the amount of rent in arrears, any subsequent rent that has become due, and the reasonable court costs and attorney's fees incurred by the plaintiff in an unlawful detainer action as of the date of tender, in accordance with specified procedures.
