[RPPTL LandTen] House Bill

Thu Oct 6 12:01:13 PDT 2011

This bill just came out and Harry Heist was good enough to bring it to our attention.  I would have been asked to circulate this bill to our Committee in any event, so yes, since this bill has affects on Landlord/Tenant practice, please provide your comments directly to our legislative chair, Scott Frank or me directly.

Are we being asked to comment on the written style of the Bill or are we being asked to indicate support/opposition?

In the event that we are being asked to indicate support/opposition:
I agree with Les and David.  I would second David's motion and vote for opposition of the Bill.

In the event that we are being asked to comment on style:
The addition to 83.575(2) is confusing, as proposed.

Thank you,                          P Think before you print.

I particularly don't like the change on month-to-month tenancies from 15 to 30 days....This is inviting Tenants not to pay their last month's rent, forces Landlord's to use security deposits and then not have any funds in the event of damage by the Tenant after move-out.
