Bill Summary
For legislation to protect tenants and prevent vacancies in foreclosed homes. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent unnecessary vacancies in foreclosed homes by amending existing laws. It defines "Fair Market Rent" as the amount established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for a unit of comparable size in the area. The bill also redefines "tenant" to include the former mortgagor and household members, and requires the foreclosure sale purchaser to notify tenants in writing of the rent amount due and where to pay it. Additionally, the bill allows tenants to remain in the property as long as they pay the agreed-upon monthly rent or Fair Market Rent, and imposes penalties on foreclosure sale purchasers who illegally evict tenants.
