AI Summary

This bill preempts the regulation of residential tenancies and the landlord-tenant relationship to the state, superseding any local government regulations on related matters. It increases the required notice period for terminating a month-to-month tenancy from 15 to 30 days. The bill also requires landlords to provide 60 days' written notice before increasing the rental rate by more than 5% at the end of a specific-term rental agreement or during a month-to-month tenancy. The tenant then has 15 days to respond to the notice before the 60-day notice period begins. If the tenant does not agree to the increase or a compromise, the landlord may increase the rent as stated in the notice or require the tenant to vacate the dwelling unit. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2023.
