Summary

Existing law prohibits any city, county, or city and county from compelling a landlord or any agent of the landlord to take any action, as specified, based on the immigration or citizenship status of a tenant, prospective tenant, occupant, or prospective occupant of residential rental property. Existing law provides that these prohibitions do not prohibit a landlord from complying with any legal obligation under federal law. This bill would revise this prohibition to include a "public entity," which the bill would define to include the state, as defined, a city, county, city and county, district, public authority, public agency, and any other political subdivision or public corporation in the state. The bill would clarify that the term "federal law" in the provision described above includes any legal obligation of a landlord under a federal government program that provides for rent limitations or rental assistance to a qualified tenant, and would broaden that provision to include any legal obligation of a landlord under a subpoena, warrant, or other order issued by a court. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 1940.3 of the Civil Code proposed by AB 291 to be operative only if this bill and AB 291 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
