AI Summary

This bill allows landlords who own five or fewer housing units to represent themselves in eviction actions, which are legal proceedings to remove a tenant from a property, or to have the manager of the housing unit represent them. This provision applies regardless of whether the landlord is an individual, a trust, a partnership, or any type of corporation, and it overrides any existing laws that might prevent this.
