Bill > A09467

This bill amends existing law to prohibit unfair residential real estate service agreements, which are defined as service agreements not to be performed within two years of their signing. Specifically, it expands the definition of agreements that are *not* considered unfair by adding a new category: contracts, restrictive declarations, regulatory agreements, or other instruments that are mandated by or involve a governmental entity. This addition clarifies that certain agreements related to utilities or those involving government participation are not subject to the prohibition on unfair residential real estate service agreements. The bill takes effect on the same date as a related 2025 law addressing these unfair agreements.
