Bill > SB1243

This bill makes a technical, nonsubstantive change to existing law that protects tenants from eviction or non-renewal of their lease due to abuse or violence against them, their immediate family, or household members, provided the landlord receives documentation of such abuse. The existing law defines "abuse or violence" broadly and outlines what constitutes valid documentation, including restraining orders, police reports, and statements from qualified third parties like doctors or counselors. The bill's primary purpose is to clarify language within the existing provisions regarding documentation from qualified third parties, ensuring the process remains clear and effective without altering the core protections for tenants.
