Bill > H1241

This bill proposes to amend existing law to require property owners to cover the costs of relocation assistance and payments provided by public agencies to tenants who are forced to move because their homes have violations of the sanitary code, which is a set of rules regarding health and safety standards for housing. Specifically, the bill states that any public agency that incurs costs for relocation assistance or payments will bill the property owner for these expenses, and if the owner doesn't pay within 10 days of the due date, the unpaid amount will become a lien on the property, meaning the town or city can take action to collect the debt, with the board of health or specific housing inspection commissioners in certain cities overseeing this process.
