[WSBARP] SB 1236 - Statewide Just Cause

If the Legislature is in session, the Governor has five days (excluding Sundays) to take action on a bill unless the Legislature is within five days of adjournment, in which case the Governor has 20 days after adjournment to act on a bill.  “Acting” on a bill means that the Governor either signs the bill, veto a section of the bill, or vetoes the entire bill (if the bill is a budget, the Governor may use a line item veto).  After these deadlines, all bills the Governor has not acted upon automatically become law.  Art. 3, section 12.

I have an interest in several bills that show, as of now, that the Governor has not signed them.  I understand that even if not signed, the bills “may” become law without signature.  Can anyone explain this?

It must be signed within 20 days after the legislative session ends, so I would expect to see it signed by about May 12.

We can't really "know." With 5160 he didn't let anyone know it was signed until 4 days after he signed it. So it was essentially retroactively applied. So he might have signed it and has not released the information yet that he's signed it.

I'm not sure how quickly these pages are updated, but this indicates it's not signed yet.

Here's the bill language as passed for 1236 (Just Cause). 

 

I highlighted three (3) things: The 90 day language for sale, the 90 day language for personal occupancy; and the emergency provision which specifically states it takes effect IMMEDIATELY.

 

Enjoy.

Wait, what? You mean that if you gave a proper 60 day notice prior to adoption of the bill but the date to move out is after the effective date of the bill then you have to start over with a new 90 day?

Most of the attorneys I've been speaking with believe that this means that any outstanding 60 days notice are invalid and that a new 90 day notice will need to be served. However, if a case has already been initiated by a 60 day notice, that case should be able to proceed forward.

 

Also, 1236 requires 60 days notice in order to move forward with an unlawful detainer based on holdover after a lease expires. So for any expired term leases, it looks like this could affect a landlords' ability to move forward based on holdover if the tenant has been there more than a year. Any landlords with lease agreements expiring in less than 60 days may be forced to renew. Does anyone else see that?

Property Management Experts -- SB 1236 was passed by both houses and awaits the Governor's signature which is expected later this week.  The bill requires 90 days notice for termination of tenancies for landlord's personal occupancy and for sale.  This, of course, is 30 days longer than required by the moratorium.  The bill has an emergency clause in it and takes effect immediately. 

  

I assume this means that once the bill is signed into law, the 90 day notice will be required even though the moratorium is still in effect and purports to overrule contrary law.  Is that correct?  Is that how we expect courts to interpret and enforce this issue? 

  

Thanks!  Annie
